I realized then that if something is at stake, the human mind gets ignited and working capacity gets enhanced manifold.

There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bearon one point.

It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.

The cheerful mind perseveres and the strong mind hews its way through a thousand difficulties.

Your thoughts construct patterns like scaffolding in your mind. You are really etching chemical patterns. In most cases, people get stuck in those patterns, just like grooves in a record, and they never get out of them.

There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind.
