"burnout" setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the

long-term perspective.

for consciousness.

powerless I am.’ It is essential to think strongly and forcefully, ‘I can do
it,’ without boasting or fretting.
The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult
period in one’s life.
What unites all beings is their desire for happiness.
When I meet people from other cultures I know that they too want happiness
and do not want suffering, this allows me to see them as brothers and sisters.
