We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid.

Don't take things so seriously, especially yourself. If the universe is a cosmic joke, remember to giggle. And remember to be astonished."

"Poverty - the greatest cause of human suffering on the planet - is itself exacerbated by conflict, competition for resources, injustice, even the global downturn and climate change.

[...] You have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to be able to get rid of the parts that are not essential."
