A Monk

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.

Four Things

The world is supported by four things:

  • The learning of the wise
  • The justice of the great
  • The prayers of the righteous and
  • The valor of the brave

But, all of these are as nothing without a ruler who knows the art of ruling.

Sun Rise

Every morning in Africa, when the Sun rises, a deer awakens, knowing it has to outrun the fastest lion, or, be hunted to death …

Every morning in Africa, when the Sun rises, a lion awakens, knowing it has to outrun the slowest deer, or, be starved to death …

It does not matter whether you are a deer or lion, when the Sun rises, better be running at your best.
