Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender – be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
❧
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plan
❧
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possesion in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
❧
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
❧
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
❧
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; your have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
❧
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful and cheerful. Strive to be happy.
.
~ Written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920’s

I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m gonna try for the kingdom if I can
When I’m rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus’ son
And I guess that I just don’t know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I’d sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
On a sailor’s suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils of this town
Set sails. Up, up and away. Mountains and oceans – I’ve got them both.

Life… is like a box of chocolates – a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you’re stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there’s nothing else to eat while you’re watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it’s gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper.

Om vattnet är stört och är i rörelse kommer du inte se dig själv. Ta ett steg tillbaka och låt vattnet lugna ner sig så kommer du så småningom se igen. Rör inte vattnet.
Gör inte saker för komplicerade. Andas och kom in i ett orubbligt lugn. Låt inget störa ditt vatten.
- Johan, 2009

When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like it’s the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is.
So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
Celebrate your mistakes. Cherish them. Smile.

Sleep is an underocean dipped into each night
At morning, awake dripping, gasping, eyes stinging
