Quotes by Max Smirnoff  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When immigrants arrive in another country, we experience a lot of stress. We learn a new language, go to school, and work in a new environment, which is most likely some survival or transitional job initially. We probably lose social and professional status, and the overall experience is unpleasant and stressful. It sucks. I’ve been there myself.

We also have less time compared with locals. For example, we have to spend time learning English - they don’t. Most likely, they can get a job with a higher pay. In our case, we most likely get a minimum-paying job first, which means we have to work more and longer hours.

This means that if we want to progress in private and business life at the same rate as locals, we need to be better organized, more efficient, and more disciplined and use more effective and innovative tools and approaches. There is no other way around it.

Therefore, I wanted to emphasize that we immigrants need our unique approach to dating.”
Max Smirnoff

“You can date attractive local women right now - without waiting until your language or social status improves.”
Max Smirnoff

“The little things? The little moments? They aren't little.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn

“Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are

“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.”
Osho
