The more emotionally satisfying an idea is the more it should be critically regarded, because we as humans are prone despite contrary facts to believe our desires are true.

The true measure of wealth is not possessions but what riches you leave behind for the world.

Predictability is a weakness.

We live in one of roughly a trillion galaxies, with a Sun that is one of a septillion stars, on a single planet of countless. There are roughly seven billion humans on Earth, and we are each one. Perspective.

Existence is like a painting, if you only look at one side of existence, how can you see it all? You cannot. Thus, perspective requires looking at every side.

Ideas are expressed using good and bad words and they usually create similar ideas, but not always. However, if you prohibit too many words, you prohibit an equal amount of ideas.

Ideas are like water. They begin as a drip, which can pool and overflow to form a gentle stream. The stream meanders to a babbling brook or leads into a speedy tributary. This can journey to a raging river and that in time ventures to the unconquerable ocean. Some waters and ideas cannot be stopped.

Be like the ancient elements in thinking. Like Earth, build upon a foundation of facts. Like Air, be willing to change your ideas if the winds of evidence require it. Like Fire, be unquenched in a desire for learning more. Like Water, both our ideas and the tides can be unstoppable.

Thinking resembles swimming in the ocean. Some prefer calm shoreline waters, others with a taste for adventure, go deeper.
