Maxims 001

0
Wake up!
(Observe what's happening in/to your mind.)

1
The quality of your work is what makes you an excellent human being.
(Not the quantity of your outcome!)

2
Do you know who you are?
(Not what others say about you!)

3
Never negotiate with yourself about being truly yourself (or not).

4
Wisdom is not something you acquire over long time;
it's something you inquire through keen endeavor.

5
Work extremely hard to understand the world not from your frame of reference.
(Every thing will seem new!)

6
Try to be neither completely full nor fully complete.
(Lao Tzu: "To be given everything, give everything up!")

7
Allocate more time to listen to your inner voice.
(It has been trying to tell you a secret.)

8
Stop! It's time to Move!
(Can you understand motion without stillness?)

9
Assuming immortality is mortal.
(You'll die someday, somehow, and somewhere. Sorry!)

10
Don't ever confuse what is real with what is true.
(The real is true for all, while the true is real only for you!)
