If i perceive in another person mainly the surface, i perceive mainly the differences,that which separates us. if i penetrate to the core, i perceive our identity, the fact of our brotherhood. this relatedness from center to center - instead of that from periphery to periphery - is 'central relatedness'.

The identity of just one thing, the "clash of civilization" view that you're a muslim or a hindu or a buddhist or a christian, i think that's such a limited way of seeing humanity, and schools have the opportunity to bring out the fact that we have hundreds of identities. we have our national identity. we have our cultural identity, linguistic identity, religious identity. yes, cultural identity, professional identity, all kinds of ways.

One of the most powerful aspects of service - being different. what is wow? wow! is great service! wow! separates the extraordinary from the ordinary. wow! separates the strong from the weak. wow! separates the sincere from the insincere. wow! separates the pro's from the con's. wow! separates the yes's from the no's. wow! is the full measure of your personal power, and the way you use it. wow! is doing what others can't (or won't). wow! is what you do for others in an exceptional way. wow! is the ticket to success. your ticket. are you wow?

So i should be aware of the dangers of self-consciousness, but at the same time, i’ll be plowing through the fog of all these echoes, plowing through mixed metaphors, noise, and will try to show the core, which is still there, as a core, and is valid, despite the fog. the core is the core is the core. there is always the core, that can’t be articulated. only caricatured.

The lesson for asia is; if you have a central bank, have a floating exchange rate; if you want to have a fixed exchange rate, abolish your central bank and adopt a currency board instead. either extreme; a fixed exchange rate through a currency board, but no central bank, or a central bank plus truly floating exchange rates; either of those is a tenable arrangement. but a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.

Knowing means to penetrate through the surface, in order to arrive at the roots, and hence the causes; knowing means to "see" reality in its nakedness. knowing does not mean to be in the possession of the truth; it means to penetrate the surface and to strive critically and actively in order to approach truth ever more closely.

I definitely felt frightened [on skyfall], but never in danger, because they were always so careful about everything. some of the driving, particularly on that road around the sheer-drop cliff was actually done by stunt driver ben collin, who is otherwise known as the stig from the tv show pop gear. he's a brilliant drive, nonetheless, it was terrifying to be careening along when a wrong turn would mean a thousand-foot drop and you're not in control and you want to slow the car down.

The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. don't let anyone deter you from that.
