When I began my business career, I reinvented a lot – from being a journalist to a political spokesperson to a nonprofit director. Finally, nearly a decade after I graduated from college, I started my own business and began the career I have today, speaking and consulting for organizations like Google, Yale University, and the World Bank.Early on, most of my business education came through trial and error. As a result, I’ve spent a lot of time researching how young professionals can set themselves up the right way for a successful business career. When the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management – now part of Cornell SC Johnson College of Business – asked me to share these strategies, I was all in. Here are the five steps I’d recommend to any professional who wants to set themselves apart from the competition. Source: How to Build the Ultimate Foundation for Your Career — Dorie Clark

Only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core into the other person — without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without creating ‘the other’, reducing the other into a thing, and without becoming addicted with the other.

Love them, respect them, and perhaps your love and respect may help them to change many of their weaknesses, many of their failures — because love will give them new energy, a new meaning, a new strength.Osho (via purplebuddhaproject)

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom. (via purplebuddhaproject)

Our mind is greedy; it is always after some gain, some profit, some achievement. It goes on asking, ‘What will I gain if I go to the ocean? What will I achieve if I seek samadhi or nirvana or emptiness?’ We always ask what we are going to achieve, and we never ask – which is what one should ask – ‘How did we lose ourselves in this rat race for gains and achievements?’ On the face of it, we have achieved everything: we have achieved wealth, power, prestige, everything. And in this very pursuit, we have lost ourselves; we have completely lost ourselves. We have now everything – except ourselves. Osho (via purplebuddhaproject)
