Zen of Good Living

Sunday November 28, 2010

We are all familiar with the virtues of good living. We have shining examples of lives well lived  -- Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, and many more. It is not easy to live as they did. But if we manage to improve our lives in the smallest possible way, we can make a difference to the world.

Take the example of Myanmar's freedom fighter, Aung Sung Suu Kyi. A veteran opposition leader, she has spent more than a third of her life in prison. Yet she continues to fight for democracy, and against the oppressive laws of the dictatorial government. This Nobel Peace Prize winner may look like a fragile flower, but she is quite the lioness with sublime strength.

Let us take a page from the life of Aung Sung Suu Kyi and seek inspiration to change things around us. With inspiration from these famous life quotes, you can take on the world.

Does History Repeat Itself?

Friday November 19, 2010

We have had ups and downs throughout history. There were many golden moments and there were also many dark moments.

Karl Marx once said, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce." If there is any truth to this statement, then we must brace ourselves for another spate of World Wars, Depressions, and catastrophe.

No doubt, there is an ominous ring to the Karl Marx quote. He probably meant to warn us that we need to learn from our mistakes. We need to look back, analyze events in the right perspective, and gain wisdom from past experiences. But are we doing so?

Here are some famous history quotes that reveal the truth behind history. If we want to save the world from total destruction, we need to understand the message conveyed by these quotes.
