Man can only give you two things in life,
Time or Money but never both, because
A man with money has no time
A man with time has no money
Time or Money but never both, because
A man with money has no time

The 10 Human Regrets
You reach your last day with the brilliant song that your life was meant to sing still silent within you.
You reach your last day without ever having experienced the natural power that inhabits you to do great work and achieve great things.
You reach your last day realizing that you never inspired anyone else by the example that you set.
You reach your last day full of pain at the realization that you never took any bold risks and so you never received any bright awards.
You reach your last day understanding that you missed the opportunity to catch a glimpse of mastery because you bought into the lie that you had to be resigned to mediocrity.
You reach your last day and feel heartbroken that you never learned the skill of transforming adversity into victory and lead into gold.
You reach your last day regretting that you forgot that work is about being radically helpful to others rather than being helpful only to yourself.
You reach your last day with the awareness that you ended up living the life that society trained you to want versus leading the life you truly wanted to have.
You reach your last day and awaken to the fact that you never realized your absolute best nor touched the special genius that you were built to become.
You reach your last day and discover you could have been a leader and left this world so much better than you found it. But you refused to accept that mission because you were just too scared. And so you failed. And wasted a LIFE.
WELL I'LL BE DAMNED... hit me like a ton of bricks.

I would hate to be a almost ni**a
I call ya that, ’cause you gossip like y’all almost bit***
You know, went to school with Jay, and was almost Jigga
Or hooped against LeBron and would almost get ‘em
Y’all ni**as make me realize how good almost isn’t
Would hate to look back on my life and say “I almost did it

Wrote this in my Dalai Lama Insight Appreciation thread and got like 6 replies. So I am posting them in here.
"We find that the more we succeed in transforming our hearts and minds through cultivating spiritual qualities, the better we will be to cope with adversity and the greater the likelihood that our actions will be ethically wholesome."
"Altrusim is an essential component of those actions which lead to genuine happiness."
"If we truly desire to be happy, there is no other way to proceed but by way of virture: it is the method by which happiness is achieved."
"The more we truly desire to beneifit others, the greater the strength and confidence we develop and the greater the peace and happiness we experience."
"There is nothing amazing about being highly educated; there is nothing amazing about being rich. Only when the individual has a warm heart do these attributes become worthwhile."
"It is also worth remembering that the time of greatest pain in terms of wisdom and inner stength if often that of greatest difficulty. With the right approach and here we see once more the supreme importance of developing a positive attitude- the experience of suffering can open our eyes to reality."

If things went all medieval and you had to fight a fit guy like me over your girl, I'd ravage your %$@ and take her. You okay with that?
When your girl is out with her friends, she's checkin' me out because I've worked to improve my appearance and it shows. You okay with that?
You think you're safe out here in this world? You think it's okay to be this unfit lazy little monger? You know you're not safe in your job, I'm sure. Every day you go above and beyond to make sure that the cutthroat guillotine of labor supply doesn't mutilate you into an unrecognizable, unemployed piece of %%$$. Why do you think it's different with your fitness?
How'd you get to where you are? People look at you and laugh. People use you as a benchmark to change their own habits. You okay with that?
Let's get it poppin', kid. No relapses. It's kill or be killed out here: it always has been. Sure, we changed the rules a little and added our own little trifling sense of justice and morality. But nothing's really changed.
Don't be one of these @%%$!+*! making pathetic reoccurring attempts to change their lifestyle. Don't whine about it. You've got self-discipline and nothing else in this life. You've got one try: to fail once is to fail every time. In six months, you're either going to be a pathetic, guilt-ridden failure, or a +%$%!+* tribute to human will. Your !@%%$ of a mother-in-law will make comments like, "I can't believe it...." Your girl will get nervous about how much you can accomplish just by setting your mind to it and start asking you to tell her she's good enough for you. Those who taunted you will have nothing....nothing to say. You did something they either simply couldn't even begin, or tried to do and failed miserably.
And then when my girl is out with her friends, she'll be checking you out, ##!+@@%#*#%+. Let's do this.
