Wisdom of the day

"People look for retreats for themselves, in the country, by the coast, or in the hills, when it is possible for you to retreat into yourself any time you want. There is nowhere that a person can find a more peaceful and trouble-free retreat than in his own mind... so constantly give yourself this retreat and renew yourself."

           - Marcus Aurelius -

"Almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

          - Steve Jobs -
