Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I Wanted To Change The World
By Unknown Monk, 1100 A.D.When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

The continuous reminder to look within for happiness, growth and meaning.
Nothing will work, but everything might. Now is the time for experiments, lots and lots of experiments, each of which will seem as minor at launch as craigslist did, as Wikipedia did, as octavo volumes did
In the pursuit of knowledge, something is added every day. In the pursuit of enlightenment, something is dropped every day. -Lao Tzu
Third, discover where your intellectual arrogance is causing disabling ignorance and overcome it. Far too many people — especially people with great expertise in one area — are contemptuous of knowledge in other areas or believe that being bright is a substititue for knowledge. First-rate engineers, for instance, tend to take pride in not knowing anything about people. Human beings, they believe, are much too disorderly for the good engineering mind. Human resources professionals, by contrast, often pride themselves on their ignorance of elementary accounting or of quantitiative methods altogether. But taking pride in such ignorance is self-deating. Go to work on acquiring the skills and knowledge you need to fully realize your strengths.
Peter F. Drucker (via jakelodwick) (via brevitic)
Again, the battle is to know oneself.
(via rahmin)
