Like this gas tank, you are overflowing with preconceptions, full of useless knowledge. you hold many facts and opinions, yet know little of yourself. before you can learn, you'll have to first empty your tank.

More From Dan Millman

Today, natural gas now outstrips coal as the leading provider of electricity in america. if this is as big as people believe it is, natural gas will soon be powering trucks and marine ships. maybe even standard commercial cars that people use at home through compressed natural gas, other gas to liquids. the potential is there for more energy independence by america and a reliance on cleaner fuel - natural gas emits half as much as coal, in terms of carbon emissions. that's a real bounty.

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

I don't know how to fix a car. if the car breaks down, and the gas tank does not say "e", i'm screwed. but if the gas tank says "e", i get all cocky - "i've got this one, don't worry." so i get out the toolbox aka wallet.

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

It is very different to make a practical system and to introduce it. a few experiments in the laboratory would prove the practicability of system long before it could be brought into general use. you can take a pipe and put a little coal in it, close it up, heat it and light the gas that comes out of the stem, but that is not introducing gas lighting. i'll bet that if it were discovered to-morrow in new york that gas could be made out of coal it would be at least five years before the system would be in general use.

What are the facts? again and again and again – what are the facts? shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? you pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. get the facts!

I feel like movie stars don't have many friends at all. they have acquaintances.

The whole city gives you the impression of impermanence. you have the feeling that one day someone is going to yell, "cut! strike it!" and then the stagehands will scurry out and remove the mountains, the movie-star homes, the hollywood bowl--everything.

Dominating all earth from outer space will have an out-of-this-world price tag, perhaps more than $1 trillion. a question: why reach for the stars with guns in our hands? are there weapons of mass destruction on mars?
