David Suzuki Quotes

"The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore; if a river is one of the veins of the land, not potential irrigation water; if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber; if other species are biological kin, not resources; or if the planet is our mother, not an opportunity - then we will treat each other with greater respect. Thus is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective." ~DAVID SUZUKI

Quotes on PERCEPTION

"A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love." ~Marianne Williamson

"Clarity of perception means - you drop whatever obstacles there are that may appear." ~Anthony de Mello

"I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me." ~Brad Pitt

"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite." ~William Blake

"It's all about perception, that is how you look at it. Your own thoughts and outlook defines whether it is good or bad. And your definition determines your response." ~Stella Payton

"The moment you change your perception is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body." ~Bruce Lipton

"The problem of most people is having low self worth...from comparing themselves with others. Relative perception, or comparing yourself with others is baseless and meaningless. Your true worth does not depend on others. Your true worth is in the absolute reality that you are the only one of your kind in the whole Universe, totally unique! And the Universe would not be complete, and as beautiful...without you! Love starts with oneself. Appreciate, respect, and celebrate your total uniqueness...as you do all others." ~Surf Reyes

‪"The words we use to describe our experiences, not the experiences, influences our frontal, temporal lobes and the structure of our thalamus, which is the part of the brain that acts as a center for perception, and changes in response to our words, thoughts, and feelings, affecting the way in which we perceive ourselves, others, and the world.‬ Using the right words can literally transform our reality." ~‬Michael Mantell

"There is neither Self-knowledge nor Self-perception to those whose senses are not under control. Without Self-perception there is no peace; and without peace there can be no happiness." ~The Bhagavad Gita

"We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us." ~Virginia Satir

"When the doors of perception are cleansed, men will see things as they truly are, infinite." ~William Blake

"You can’t teach people to be creative – they have to want to be creative. But if you see somebody do something – a child – that it just does because it thought it would, I’m sure it’s good to say, ‘This is very good. Why don’t you do another one?’” ~Judith Kerr

Richard Hill - music education

Photo: Screenshot from internet. I learned this at school in my primary at Karomatan Central Elementary School

"A culture of music education starts in a school gradually. It comes, always, from a teacher. It doesn't come because you say, "it has to be there because music is good." If you don't have a good teacher, you don't have anything, it doesn't matter whether it's music, maths, English, whatever it is. If you have a good teacher, that will happen. The big difference with music is people don't see it as essential." ~Richard Gill, on ABC RN's 'What Keeps Me Awake'

Quotes on WINDMILLS

Photo: Grabbed from FB

"The slope takes you to the windmill, but effort takes you nowhere." ~Fernando Pessoa

"There are, indeed, few merrier spectacles than that of many windmills bickering together in a fresh breeze over a woody country; their halting alacrity of movement, their pleasant business, making bread all day with uncouth gesticulation; their air, gigantically human, as of a creature half alive, put a spirit of romance into the tamest landscape." ~Robert Louis Stevenson

"There are times when each of us has to have some gumption to take a stand as to what we wish to preserve or change in order to maintain our self-respect and not be as "a reed shaken with the wind" (Matt. 11:7) . . . . We lose much credibility and strength, and we risk being weighed on an uneven balance, when, Don Quixote-like, we go around "tilting windmills". ~James E. Faust

"Windmills, which are used in the great plains of Holland and North Germany to supply the want of falling water, afford another instance of the action of velocity. The sails are driven by air in motion - by wind." ~Hermann von Helmholtz

Sean Covey Quotes

"Although I'm a retired teenager, I remember what it was like to be one. I could have sworn I was riding an emotional roller coaster most of the time. Looking back, I'm actually amazed that I survived. Barely." ~Sean Covey

"One of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child is to help them find their talents." ~Sean Covey

”Seeing things from a different point of view can help us understand why other people act the way they do. We, too often judge people without having all the facts.” -Sean Covey (from Yogi Alejo)

"Some of the more popular life-centers for teens include Friends, Stuff, Enemies, Self, and Work. They each have their good points, but they are all incomplete in one way or another, and they'll mess you up if you center your life on any one of them to the exclusion of the others." ~Sean Covey

"Small changes can make huge destinations difference." ~Sean Covey

"Ultimately, you choose to be happy or miserable. The reality is that although you are free to choose, you can't choose the consequences of your choices. They're preloaded. It's a package deal." ~Sean Covey

"You shouldn't feel guilty about taking time for yourself. Every so often, everyone needs to give themselves a big ol' bear hug and treat themselves to some TLC." ~Sean Covey

Keanu Reeves Quotes

“I cannot be part of a world ...Where men dress their wives as prostitutes by showing everything that should be cherished.
Where there is no concept of honor and dignity, and one can only rely on those when they say “I promise”. Where women do not want children, and men don’t want a family." ~Keanu Reeves

"I always felt like I'm not from this generation. I just live in it. Because the way my mindset differs from the majority, you'd think I come from a different dimension. That's why I keep things to myself because a lot of people won't understand me." ~Keanu Reeves

"The concept of the matrix isn't  much different from our reality. We wake up, carry out habits, and go to sleep only to wake up and do it again. It's like you exist but don't feel alive." ~Keanu Reeves 

"To me, Nature is a place where you retreat whenever you feel exhausted or sad. I'm more happy when I'm surrounded by the sound of birds than the sound of people." ~Keanu Reeves
