“To draw an analogy: a man's suffering is similar to the behavior of a gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative.”
― Viktor Emil Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“هیچ کس در این دنیا -چون در بطن موقعیت خاص انسانی دیگر قرار ندارد- نمی تواند احساس صحیح و درستی در مورد بدی یا خوبی مسئله ای داشته باشد ، حالا خواه این مسئله به خوشبختی یا بدبختی ، به عش یا به "افت هنری" ارتباط داشته باشد. واقعیت امر این است که هر مردی همواره به نوعی خارج از وضعیت و شرایط انسانی دیگر قرار دارد”

“Please remember that pleasing another is not the same as caring for another.”

“TEN RULES FOR WINNING THE GAME OF CONFIDENCE The actions of confidence come first; the feelings of confidence come later. Genuine confidence is not the absence of fear; it is a transformed relationship with fear. Negative thoughts are normal. Don’t fight them; defuse them. Self-acceptance trumps self-esteem. True success is living by your values. Hold your values lightly, but pursue them vigorously. Don’t obsess about the outcome; get passionate about the process. Don’t fight your fear: allow it, befriend it, and channel it. Failure hurts—but if we’re willing to learn, it’s a wonderful teacher. The key to peak performance is total engagement in the task.”
