― Randy Komisar, The Monk and the Riddle: The Education of a Silicon Valley Entrepreneur

“Becoming conscious of three important things:

First, as soon as people decide to confront a problem, they realize that they are far more capable than they thought they were.

Second, all energy and all knowledge come from the same unknown source, which we usually call God. What I've tried to do in my life, ever since I first started out on what I believe to be my path, is to honour that energy, to connect up with it every day, to allow myself to be guided by the signs, to learn by doing and not by thinking about doing.

Third, that no one is alone in their troubles; there is always someone else thinking, rejoicing, or suffering in the same way, and that gives us the strength to confront the challenge before us.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

“It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir
