More From Neil Peart

Here's the pay paradox that why men earn more explains: men earn more money, therefore men have more power; and men earn more money, therefore men have less power (earning more money as an obligation, not an option). the opposite is true for women: women earn less money, therefore women have less power; and women earn less money, therefore women have more power (the option to raise children, or to not take a hazardous job).

Buying a share of a good business is better than buying a share of a bad business. one way to do this is to purchase a business that can invest its own money at high rates of return rather than purchasing a business that can only invest at lower ones. in other words, businesses that earn a high return on capital are better than businesses that earn a low return on capital.
Return Way Buying
Inside every one of us is a garden, and every practitioner has to go back to their garden and take care of it. maybe in the past, you left in untended for a long time. you should know exactly what is going on in your own garden, and try to put everything in order. restore the beauty; restore the harmony in your garden. if it is well tended, many people will enjoy your garden.
Garden Past Order
As soon as we put something into words, we devalue it in a strange way. we think we have plunged into the depths of the abyss, and when we return to the surface the drop of water on our pale fingertips no longer resembles the sea from which it comes. we delude ourselves that we have discovered a wonderful treasure trove, and when we return to the light of day we find that we have brought back only false stones and shards of glass; and yet the treasure goes on glimmering in the dark, unaltered.
Dark Thinking Glasses
If your purse no longer bulges and you've lost your golden treasure, if times you think you're lonely and have hungry grown for pleasure, don't sit by your hearth and grumble, don't let mind and spirit harden. if it's thrills of joy you wish for get to work and plant a garden! if it's drama that you sigh for, plant a garden and you'll get it you will know the thrill of battle fighting foes that will beset it if you long for entertainment and for pageantry most glowing, plant a garden and this summer spend your time with green things growing.
Summer Lonely Spring
Once in those very early days my brother brought into the nursery the lid of a biscuit tin which he had covered with moss and garnished with twigs and flowers so as to make it a toy garden or a toy forest. that was the first beauty i ever knew. what the real garden had failed to do, the toy garden did. it made me aware of nature-not, indeed, as a storehouse of forms and colors but as something cool, dewy, fresh, exuberant....as long as i live my imagination of paradise will retain something of my brother's toy garden.

I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. i'm not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though i'm not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. the kind that sticks.
