REBIRTH

omwtoinnerpeace:

“Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” 
― Siddhārtha Gautama (The Buddha)

The Dalai Lama (via lazyyogi)

1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.

5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Self-respect is a discipline, a habit of mind that can never be faked but can be developed, trained, coaxed forth.
