a great quote by mother teresa (in german)

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Die Leute sind unvernünftig, unlogisch und selbstbezogen,
liebe sie trotzdem.
Wenn du Gutes tust, werden sie dir egoistische Motive und Hintergedanken vorwerden,
tue trotzdem Gutes.

Wenn du erfolgreich bist, gewinnst du falsche Freunde und echte Feinde,
sei trotzdem erfolgreich.

Das Gute, das du tust, wird morgen vergessen sein,
tue trotzdem Gutes.

Ehrlichkeit und Offenheit machen dich verwundbar,
sei trotzdem ehrlich und offen.

Was du in jahrelanger Arbeit aufgebaut hast, kann über Nacht zerstört werden,
baue trotzdem.

Deine Hilfe wird wirklich gebraucht, aber die Leute greifen dich vielleicht an, wenn du ihnen hilfst,
hilf ihnen trotzdem.

Gib der Welt dein Bestes, und sie schlagen dir die Zähne aus,
gib der Welt trotzdem dein Bestes.

interesting, i will try to follow this…

If you want to get more done, be mindful.
If you want to have more time, be mindful.
Mindful means one thing at a time.

steve jobs’ commencement speech at stanford last week:
‘You’ve got to find what you love,’ Jobs says

the best quote:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

he is simply an amazing person!

i found this great quote in the comment section of this entry at tech:knowledge:

people are literally afraid of their computers. they think they will break. this is obviously because they never back anything up. if they actually did they would be fearless. or they are really just afraid of the darn things.

people always ask how i know so much ( i have to look after about a dozen systems) and I just tell them I’m not afraid of my computer.

this last sentence is exactly how i feel… 😉
