SWITCH FOR a Bigger Self. You may have that childhood dream of living in an isolate paradise where everything is abundant & comfortable. But it does not help you grow.

Addiction is good if you are addicted to what is good.

Life is a drama - you need a role to play and a foe to slay.

SWITCH OFF Biased Thinking Over-optimism & over-pessimism won't serve you the best. Just balance both. Be optimistic to have the energy to continue your journey, & be pessimistic to avoid possible downfalls.

SWITCH TO B.O.L.D Goals. Don't stick too much to S.M.A.R.T goals because it ignores changes, insults your potential, and kills your passion & creativity. Instead, aim for B.O.L.D (Big, Optimistic, Liberating, Dramatic) goals.

SWITCH FROM the Busy Life. Stop acting like everybody's hero. It will just waste your precious time & energy and make them irresponsible. Instead, just follow your Path and do only the tasks w/c you can do best and w/c can make the most impact to yourself & to the world.

SWITCH ON Bullet-speed Learning & Acting! Learn from a lot of people who have already reached where you want to be right now - from their own stories of struggles, mistakes & failures. Having learned, immediately ACT! It's the non-negotiable ingredient to self-growth.

Nobody likes, you know, the ugly parts of politics.

I really think that Muslim people should stop raising their boys and girls that way. They instill a macho culture right from the start of childhood.

Even on holidays, I wake up early, and by 7 A.M., I am out sightseeing.

There'll never be another 'MASH.' There's nothing in the way of doing your best work on this set - absolutely nothing.

At the end of your life, it's friendships, emotions and thoughts that you take with you, rather than what's in your bank account. So, even though people don't have a lot here, they are a lot richer in many ways and we can learn from that.

Guys back in the day, we didn't have wallets. I never kept my money in my pocket; my money always went in my sock. My key my mom gave me, I put it in my sock - whatever it was.

I'm interested in getting deep into a person's consciousness and doing so in ways in which the narrator is secondary to the character's own thoughts.

Teetotallers lack the sympathy and generosity of men that drink.

I would rather be an independent senator, governed by my own views, going for the good of the country, uncontrolled by any thing which mortal man can bring to bear upon me, than to be president of the United States, put there as presidents of the United States have been for many years past.

Life is an empty bottle filled with love.

Ours is a stable country. Ours is a sensible country. And ours is a fundamentally decent country.
