Author of quotes: Jorge Bucay

The only thing needed really is to refuse to wait on others praise, approval, love. Sometimes it can be very frustrating. Often the price you have to pay when you dare to say no, is to open the ugly side to their friends, watch as they turn to you a back, neck and other body parts... to see them go.

Nobody can do what he wants
BUT
each strength never to do what
what he doesn'T.

...changes can occur only when we realize the way things are.
How can I determine the route to new York, if you do not know in what part of the Universe you are? I can go only from a specific point, whether on the map or the starting point of my journey. And that means accepting the situation for what it is.

Reality is not what I would like to see her.
It is not what it should be.
Is not what, as I said, it will be.
Is not what was.
Is not what will happen tomorrow.
The reality around me such what is.

- Why so many obstacles between me and my goal?
The child shrugs and says:
- Why are you asking me this?
They were not, until you came...
YOU yourself created all the obstacles.

We go through life, hating and rejecting certain features of other people, sometimes their own, considering them contemptible, insignificant, unnecessary or even dangerous. But time teaches us how difficult it would be to live without what we once denied.

Try to escape from bad thoughts - a way of approaching him. To run from death is to go to meet her.

...and modesty has its advantages.

...when you're close to the sage, you become wiser.

- You have an answer for everything?
Yes. We all have always got the answers. Even if they are in one case look like the silence in the other - how embarrassed, and the third as an escape.

- Sit down! the teacher said, after listening to him. - Do you like this ring, the jewel, the one and only. And appreciate you can only be a real specialist. Why do you always want to make any ignorant immediately identified your true value?

You need to give yourself permission to be where you want to be, and then try to sit where you're comfortable. Permission to think what I think and not to think as another would think in your place. To say, if you want and quiet if nothing comes to mind. It's your right to give yourself this permission. Permission to feel what I feel, and at the time when it is needed. And not feel what the other felt would be in your place, and cease to feel what is expected by others. You need to give yourself permission to take risks that you decided, then and only then, when the consequences you pay. But let nobody says you can't take such risks - if you never involve your business, it's your decision.
And the last thing is very important. You need to give yourself permission to go through life looking for what you want instead of to wait, when others will give it to you.

To achieve success, as it is written from an English philosopher, means to die where they choose, surrounded by people who want to see.
And nothing more.

To be a truly valuable person, you have to be just who you are, and nothing more.
