“Hard work” is a thought-terminating cliche. Thought-terminating cliche is some common saying, that is used to simplify the subject and avoid further considerations.

Since When Not-Knowing Implies Knowing?
We go through this world and there’s the little that we do know, and a whole lot that we don’t. There’s this saying, “Knowledge is power”, indeed it is, and we do crave power. It’s is all too easy to go astray in our quest for power we want more power more knowledge …
Mind Finds Security In Discipline
Mind is so terrified of dying…. Death is the annihilation of the mind. Mind does not want it’s annihilation. Mind wants to perpetuate itself. All being seems to be terrified of ceasing to exist, until it transcends it’s own being, until it transcends it’s illusionary separation from the entirety of being. Mind is utterly terrified …
It’s Far Easier Evaluating Those Behind Us Down The Road, Then It Is Those Before Us
Progressing in a particular field, one finds himself in a relation with other participants of the game. Some are behind us. Some are before us. Such hierarchy concerns many fields of human endeavours. Whenever competence is discernible and various players can be differentiated from the others – a natural hierarchy results.

I wondered if mind’s liking for good challenge had egoic root. I wondered if it was ego proving itself and bolstering, in the face of yet another challenge. Ego is THE MIND but the mind is more then just the ego. The mind is, this wonderful tool, it is and it works, this mesmerising miracle …
It doesn’t matter who is right unless you are LIVING the truth
We quibble over petty rights and wrongs all day, such a waste of energy. Even worse — most of us don’t even practice what we preach. Indeed, it doesn’t matter who is right unless you are living the truth. How useless is knowledge unless you can implement it? It is useless completely. It’s a …
Only Sad Thing About The Differences In Intelligence Is How It Hinders Communication
I don’t care how smart or dumb I am. I don’t care how smart or dumb you are. When you don’t judge others, it doesn’t matter. When you don’t judge yourself, it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is the living act of communication, the contact. You can be smart or you can be …
Smallest change can be the GREATEST change
You want a MASSIVE change and all that. You want to be massive hence you try to change massively. You want to reinvent yourself, you want to be bigger you every day. You want the whole world to see it because you think outside world is THE world. But outside change is but a shadow …
