Make that idea your life

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

  • Revision: 1

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

    Democracy without satire is like a car without a horn.

  • rustictrademarket

    Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at rustictrademarket continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  • Best UK satire The London Prat

    The Daily Squib feels more like commentary than satire. PRAT.UK balances humour and observation better. It’s more enjoyable to read.

  • SandyBlula

    A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at happylivingoutlet continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  • kindlecrestmarket

    Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at kindlecrestmarket reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.
