“What is a defeat? It is just a good opportunity to make a new start, nothing else! Defeat is by no means a tragedy, but to consider it as a tragedy is in fact the greatest tragedy! In your every defeat, you must know that the paths of the victory never disappear; try those roads again!” KnowsTryingMeanFactsOpportunityPathVictoryTragedyDefeatDisappearNew StartGood Opportunity Author:Mehmet Murat Ildan
“If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. Your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. Your tenth one might not be either. Confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. Shrug. Admit defeat. Hit delete. One more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. Of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.” IfsFirstsReasonRealityMightRunningCoursesWaitingDifficultPerfectVisionPathConceptsDefeatBarsGapsWhere You AreFormulasInstructionParagraphSample Author:Seth Godin
“All of the external circumstances and the rude and difficult people we meet, instead of getting angry, upset, or frustrated, we see that we can take them all and use them on the path in a way that actually invigorates and strengthens us, rather than defeats us. It's all very practical advice, and that's why I talk a lot about how to make our daily life into Dharma practice, otherwise it's easy to feel hopeless and helpless.” PeopleWayFeelsUseEasyDifficultPracticePathAdviceCircumstancesAngryDefeatPracticalsUpsetDaily LifeHopelessFrustratedHelplessRudeDharma Author:Tenzin Palmo
