It’s surprising how much you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit.
– Abraham Lincoln

Maa karmaphalahetur bhoor maa te sango’stwakarmani.

– Bhagvad Gita Ch.2 verse 47
And on these thoughts, lets remember Gandhi on his birthday today.
“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here…”
– Eve Ensler (best known for her play The Vagina Monologues)
Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better.
– from Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha
Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it’s hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clear headedness that follow a long run.
