Rumi On Sports
Rumi
Your task
is not to seek for success,
but merely
to seek and find
all the
barriers within yourself that
you have built
against it. --Rumi
Load The
Ship & Risk The Ocean
Load the
ship and set out.
No one
knows for certain whether
the vessel
will sink or reach the harbor.
Cautious
people say,
"I'll
do nothing until I can be sure".
Merchants
know better.
If you do
nothing, you lose.
Don't be
one of those merchants
who wont
risk the ocean. -Rumi
I'll Meet You There
Out beyond ideas of
wrongdoing
and right doing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
and right doing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
Looking For Success?
When you come
looking for success,
your bag will be examined
to see how much it can hold;
it will be filled accordingly.
your bag will be examined
to see how much it can hold;
it will be filled accordingly.
Rumi
Two Wings To Fly
Life turns you from
one feeling to another
and teaches you by means of opposites,
so that you will
have two wings to fly - not one.

'Go away, I'm looking for the truth.'
and so it goes away. Puzzling. -Robert M. Pirsig

The Brick Wall
–Randy Pausch
Losers vs. Winners
Winners
vs. Losers
Winners
accept responsibility,
losers place the blame
losers place the blame
Winners credit luck to hard work,
losers to bad breaks
losers to bad breaks
Winners train when no one else is watching,
losers never make the time
losers never make the time
Winners make commitments and set goals,
losers makes promises and never follows through
losers makes promises and never follows through
Winners are coach-able,
losers repeat the same mistakes again
losers repeat the same mistakes again
Winners know they can always improve,
losers think they are not as bad as others
losers think they are not as bad as others
Winners would rather be respected than like,
losers would rather be liked than respected because
they know that haven’t work hard enough to be respected
losers would rather be liked than respected because
they know that haven’t work hard enough to be respected
Winners hate losing, losers are rarely bothered by it
Winners place the team first & themselves last,
losers place themselves first &everything else 2nd.
Winners are open to challenge,
losers shutdown and think they are being picked on
losers shutdown and think they are being picked on
Winners look forward and learn from the past,
losers look back and relive past failures
losers look back and relive past failures
Winners understand failure and move ahead,
losers fear failure and hold back
losers fear failure and hold back
Which One Am I Today?
