In times of trial..


'..do you know who we are praying to in front of the clay figure?'...
'..the greater one in ourselves..'


..overheard this when i was eating in the living room this morning.
dad was watching this chinese historical based drama about kangxi emperor and that was part of the conversation between the emperor and his assistant.


i know little if not nothing of any religious teachings.
however, i do agree with that on a personal note.
i might be cynical in rejecting the existence of greater beings..
perhaps, i am only selecting statements and ideas that reinforce my perception.
but what difference does it make?
ultimately, we cannot be relying on someone else all the while, can we?


we pray for strength to overcome our fears..but what is fear?
why are there self improvement courses?
what is the difference between one who is confident and one who is not?
what makes us confident?
what gives us strength?
what is a belief?


John Milton:
The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven


Vita Sackville-West:
I worshipped dead men for their strength,
forgetting I was strong.


Victor Hugo:
People do not lack strength, they lack will.


Audre Lorde:
When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.


stress will be or rather, is a common word for this semester and the next.
in fact, it has always existed.
albeit, the following holds true.
the power of the mind..perception.
if i have conceded mentally, what battle is left for me to fight?


Harvey Cushing:
The capacity of man himself is only revealed when, under stress and responsibility, he breaks through his educational shell, and he may then be a splendid surprise to himself no less than to this teachers.


Arnold Schwarzenegger:
Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tone the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
