Learning Quotes

“The Zen meditative approach has a simple, unstated premise: moods and attitudes shape—determine—what we think and perceive. If we feel happy, we tend to develop certain trains of thought. If we feel sad or angry, still others. But suppose, with training, we become nonattached to distractions and learn to dampen these wild, emotional swings on either side of equanimity. Then we can enter that serene awareness which is the natural soil for positive, spontaneous personal growth, often called spiritual growth.”

“You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.”

“The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.”

“We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.”

“The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.”

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.”

“The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.”

“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

“We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling. If you want to keep on learning, you must keep on risking failure-all your life.”

“Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.”
