Jobs

You should enjoy every aspect of your life, including your job. If you enjoy your job you are much more likely to produce good work: "Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work." Aristotle.

Rich Men

Rich men often think they have it all; money, women; basically whatever they want. However they also constantly want more and more to impress other rich men. Poor men are usually content with what they have, they have the things they need to survive and that is all. The modern capitalist society is built upon rich men wanting and buying more and more useless items. It is poor men who will finally allow this Earth to be at peace. "The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least" Anonymous.

Life:

"An arrow can be shot only by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that its going to launch you into something great." Anonymous. Take heart from this, never let life get you down.

Never give up:

No matter what happens never give up. You will get through it, every problem you face is just another lesson to learn; "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." Friedrich Nietzsche

Science:

Science is ever changing. Just a few thousand years ago we built the pyramids with nothing more than chisels and human power and determination. Now we have space travel and nuclear weapons. The human race has come far in technological respects, our achievements are greater than ever. Unfortunately, with our progress has come great destruction. This Earth seems to be facing its final days, and the extinction of the human race is inevitable. Every day another species dies out, just because we want more technology and power. We need to do something to stop this from happening.

Socrates:

Socrates was an Ancient Greek philosopher and scientist. Many consider him one of the wisest men to have ether existed. He also said: "I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing."  and "I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance", showing he believed that there is a lot to learn, and that we should realize we know nothing in comparison with the size of the universe.

Imagination:

Albert Einstein was a great German scientist who proposed many theories on quantum mechanics and quantum physics, he re-suggested the theory that light was made of particles. However, he was also very philosophical and spiritual. He respected everyone's views, no matter their background. He also encouraged people to think:
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."
