First, in terms of professional life , get ready for some fun.
Get ready to work hard for only then you establish a reputation in your work.
All the excellent personal quealities such as your charm, you intuition and your intelligence, will not get you far it you do not blend them with a lot of hard work.
Do not be afraid to make mistakes or experience set back. It is this flexibility in overcoming these , which is the key to survival.
Be happy at what you do. If you ever reach the point where you wake up in the morning , and dread going to work, something is fundamentally wrong. Re-examine the situation.
Do not get too comfortable. When a job stops challenging you , perhaps you should consider looking for another one. It is a cinch that someone else is waiting in the wings to do it,if you don't.
Do not be afraid to take risk. Hardly anyone succeeds without them.
Never stop testing your talents in experiencing new things. Keep challenging yourself and exploring your world and your role in it .
As you look for fulfilment , you may be happier filling avoid than following a crowd. Be creative with your ambitions.
Be a communicator . Learn to sell yourself and your ideas. Your inteligence and hard work are crucial assets , but remember that mountain-top philosopher rarely make much of a difference.
Keep your sense of Humour. It is often your only link to sanity.
Keep time to reflect and rest . Time for reflection often produces perspective.
Always remember that one person can make a difference in this world. As you attempt to make big differences, remember to appreciate the small differences.
People are always watching you , learning from you and looking to you for inspiration . It is therefore important how you play the game of life.

"Of Studies"
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in their privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgement and disposition of business; for expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsils, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned.
To spend too much time in studies, is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is their rules, is the humer of a scholar; they perfect nature, and are perfected by experience - for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and study themselves do gives forth directions too much at large, expert they be bounded in by experience. Craftymen contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them, for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.
Read not to contradict and confute, noe to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. some books are to be tasted, others tobe swallowed, and some few tobe chewed and digested; that is , some books are tobe read only in part; others to be read, but not curioursly; and some few to beread wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the les important arguments, and the meaner sort of books; else distilled books are , like common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writhing an exact man; and , therefore , if a man write little , he had need have a great memory; if he confre little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning , to seem to know that he doth not.
Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics , subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral , greave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend; " Abeunt studia in mores"; say, there is no stond or impediment in the wit, but many be wrouht out by fit studies, like as diseases of the body may have apropriate exercises_ bowlin is good for the stone and reins, shooting for the lungs and breast, gentle walking for the stomach, riding for the head, and the like; so, if a man't wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics, for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he mustbein again; if his wits be not apt to distinguish or find difference, let him study the schoolmen; for they are 'cyminisectores'; if he be not apt to beat over matters, and to call upon one thing to prove and illustarate another, let him study the lawyers' cases- so every defect of the mind may have a special reciept.

"WORK"
- The best preparation for work is not thinking about work,
talking about work, or studying for work: it is work.
William Held- Procrastination is the thief of time;
Year after year it steals till all are fled.
At thirty , man suspects himself a fool;
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;
At fifty chides his infamous delya
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve;
In all the magnanimity of thought;
Resolves ,and re-resolves;
Then dies the same.
Edward Young
- Never do tommorrow what you can do today.
Charles Dickens
- Work keeps at bay three great evils: boredom vice, and need.
Voltaire
- I believe in work hard work and long hours of work.
Men do not break down from over work,
but from worry and dissipation.
Charles E.Hughes
-Find a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
Jim Fox
-Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
LEonardo da Vinci
- There is a close correlation between getting up in the morning,
and getting up in the world.
Ron Dentinger
- Whatever your life's work is,do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead and the unborn could do it no better.
If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep sreets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespear wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music; sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say, "here lived a great sweeper, who swept his job well."
Martin Luther King, Jr

- Life is suffering
- All suffering are cause by ignorance of the nature of the reality and craving,attachment and glasping that result from such ignorance.
- Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment.
- The path of the supperssion of suffering is noble Eightfold path,which consist of rigth views,right intension,right speech,right action,right livelihood,right effort,right-mindedness,and right contemplation.
These eight are usually divided into three catogories that base the buddist morality,wisdom,and samadhi,or concentration.

The Wisdom of Charles Diskens
- Reflect upon your present blessings, not on your past misfortunes.
- A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
- We need never be ashamed of your tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overly in our hard hearts.
- It is well for a man to respect his own vocation, whatever it is, and to think himself bound ot uphold it , and to claim for it the respect it deserves.
- It is in the nature of things that man cannot really imporve himself without in some degree imporving other men.
- No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else.
- Every man, however obscure, however far removed from the general recognition, is one of a group of men impressible for good and impressible for evil.
- Mature affection , homage , devotion, does not easily express itself. Its voice is low. It is modest and retiring , it lays in ambush and waits.
