Teaching children about money

  - NY TIMES Katharine Whitehorn Quote of the Day

Make me one with everything

Did you hear about the Zen Master who goes
up to the hot dog vendor and says, "Make me
one with everything"?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

But don't you think we need a few more smiles
and chuckles in our lives? Especially with all
that's going on in the world now.

Really, don't you dread turning on the TV, picking
up a newspaper or magazine, or even checking out
what's going on by surfing the web?

It does seem like the only news out there is bad
news, doesn't it?

Well, wouldn't it be nice to become virtually immune
to bad news--even when it strikes close to home?

Wouldn't you love to enjoy that certain level of
peace of mind, oneness with the universe, and
increased success that comes with a more complete
understanding of who you are and your place in this
world?

To laugh often and much

T To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded! - Emerson
