More From Jose Ortega Y Gasset

Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. when one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the holy spirit. the worst defect in talking is talking too much. hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.
Simple Attachment Talking
I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.
Love School Optimistic
In sliding doors, the whole idea is that every choice you make, and every single thing that happens to you changes the trajectory of your life, and once you are put on that trajectory, there is no way back. but groundhog day - which, i tell him, also happens to be a much better movie - says the opposite. it says if you mess up or make the wrong choice, you just have to keep at it until you do it right.
Groundhog Day Doors Opposites
I know if i persist it will pay back in dividends and it always does. what starts to happen is like exercise, the pain goes away. it starts to get easier and the weight starts to get lighter and people start to notice a difference in you and you start to notice a difference in yourself. you find your ability to make decisions is easier; you find you are inspired more often. you find your success increases. you find that your random moments when you're in the flow are no longer random and you can control them. other people notice the difference.
Pain Exercise Differences
A universe without purpose should neither depress us nor suggest that our lives are purposeless. through an awe-inspiring cosmic history we find ourselves on this remote planet in a remote corner of the universe, endowed with intelligence and self-awareness. we should not despair, but should humbly rejoice in making the most of these gifts, and celebrate our brief moment in the sun.
