Quote: As We Think, So We Become


The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;

So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings…
As the shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become.
Buddah

Quotes: Work and Luck

Two interesting images which have very little relevance to one another. Unless, you consider, it would be very hard work to build a space ray.

Math: Doing Math Is A Privilege

For Isaac as we begin summer vacation. We will break out the chess set and look at the "Calculus Without Tears" workbook a bit each day. Not for work, but for learning and fun.
