can or KNOWING you will? Let today be the last day you took timid steps of
belief and start taking confident steps of purpose-driven knowing!”

with the ugliness of the expensive success
We
forget the easiness of free beauty
Lying
sad right around the corner,
Only
an instant removed,
Unnoticed
and squandered.”

“It
is said that there are four kinds of horses: excellent ones, good ones, poor
ones, and bad ones. The best horse will run slow and fast, right and left, at
the driver’s will, before it sees the shadow of the whip; the second best will
run as well as the first one does, just before the whip reaches its skin; the
third one will run when it feels pain on its body; the fourth will run after
the pain penetrates to the marrow of its bones. You can imagine how difficult
it is for the fourth one to learn how to run!
When
we hear this story, almost all of us want to be the best horse. If it is
impossible to be the best one, we want to be the second best. That is, I think,
the usual understanding of this story, and of Zen. You may think that when you
sit in zazen you will find out whether you are one of the best horses or one of
the worst ones. Here, however, there is a misunderstanding of Zen. If you think
the aim of Zen practice is to train you to become one of the best horses, you
will have a big problem. This is not the right understanding. If you practice
Zen in the right way it does not matter whether you are the best horse or the
worst one. When you consider the mercy of Buddha, how do you think Buddha will
feel about the four kinds of horses? He will have more sympathy for the worst
one than for the best one.
When
you are determined to practice zazen with the great mind of Buddha, you will
find the worst horse is the most valuable one. In your very imperfections you
will find the basis for your firm, way-seeking mind. Those who can sit
perfectly physically usually take more time to obtain the true way of Zen, the
actual feeling of Zen, the marrow of Zen. But those who find great difficulties
in practicing Zen will find more meaning in it. So I think that sometimes the
best horse may be the worst horse, and the worst horse can be the best one.
If
you study calligraphy you will find that those who are not so clever usually
become the best calligraphers. Those who are very clever with their hands often
encounter great difficulty after they have reached a certain stage. This is
also true in art and in Zen. It is true in life. So when we talk about Zen we
cannot say, 'He is good,' or 'He is bad,' in the ordinary sense of the words.
The posture taken in zazen is not the same for each of us. For some it may be
impossible to take the cross-legged posture. But even though you cannot take
the right posture, when you arouse your real, way-seeking mind, you can
practice Zen in its true sense. Actually it is easier for those who have
difficulties in sitting to arouse the true way-seeking mind that for those who
can sit easily.”

“
Before I ever knew what the word Entrepeneur was, I realized in America and in
the Western part of the world in general, you are given the opportunity to be
whatever you want to be. And that is all anyone should ever expect from the
Capitalist system. The rest is up to you.
It's
up to you to educate yourself.
It's
up to you to learn speaking skills and people skills.
It's
up to you to try (and usually fail, but to try again) all sorts of ventures.
The
rest is a combination of hard work, being at the right place ...at the right
time...with the right thing...oh yes...and more (never ending) hard work.”

“I
have some advice for the young generation who are wanting to become successful
in life: become more grateful. Once you do that, Allah says, "If you are
grateful, I will surely increase you (in everything)." If you're having a
hard time in math, science, language and whatever else, become grateful to
Allah and He will open doors for you. You'll even get better at basketball and
become more athletic. I pray that Allah makes you grateful young people who are
examples for others all over the world, ameen.”

“It
is strange the way the ignorant and inexperienced so often and so undeservedly
succeed when the informed and the experienced fail. All you need in this life
is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.”

Mark Twain
“To
try is to invite uncertainty. Where confidence goes, success usually follows.”

Wayne Gerard Trotman, Veterans of the Psychic Wars
“Nothing
comes as an accomplishment instantly. Success does not come overnight. Patience
is the key! Grow up and be the tree; but remember it takes dry and wet seasons
to become a fruit bearer, achiever and impact maker!”
