Life Gives You Many Choices
The path that you choose to follow will determine your destination.
However, this is not an easy decision. You are in control of your being,
but alternative paths can steer and influence you in either a positive or negative direction. This choice is yours and yours only.
Follow your heart. Be true to yourself as no one else is in control of your feelings and emotions. Be patient with your decision, as it may take some time for it to come from within. Live life to the fullest, choose a path, and may you choose the right one.

PS: As you choose to follow a path that has been created by another, your destination will be unsatisfactory and unfulfilling . Instead, learn and and absorb the knowledge of others, create your own path and leave a trail for others to follow and be inspired to create one of their own.

Humility Be Thy Goal
To know not and admit that one knows not...this is humility.
To know not and and think one knows...this is ignorance and pride
[an overestimation of oneself].
To know not and know one knows not but will not admit one knows not;
this is fear of being wrong [the Right-itis Affliction].

To know not and know one knows not but will not admit one knows not;
this is fear of being wrong [the Right-itis Affliction].
To know, know that one knows and know also when when one knows not...
This is wisdom.

What do I Know?
When I was 10, what did I know?
When I was 20, I was surprised at how little my parents knew.
When I was 35, I was impressed at how much my parents were learning.
When I was 50, I began to realize that my parents really knew more than I had
given them credit for.
When I was 65, I began to realize my own ignorance and how immense it was.
And before I was even 80, I realized that wisdom does not come quickly, easily
or with idleness of thought.
After all, what do I REALLY know?
Let humility be thy goal.

Ignorance is Bliss??
Someone once said, "Ignorance is bliss." Is it? If you don't know that you don't know, you'll be content knowing not that you know not. One definition of pride is an over estimation of oneself. In the case of blissful ignorance it is overestimating the knowledge one has. What's the cure? Lao Tzu once said a very long time ago, "Humility is the foundation of learning." So, let Humility be thy goal. This is not particularly easy to do but if we don't, life often has its way of humbling us. If we already think we know something even when we don't, there will be no motivation to learn what we don't know. We will remain content in our ignorance. How can YOU be certain that what you believe is true; actually factual?
