Cardinal Thoughts 1

These quotes brought the best out of me when I was in depression mode in the past. They have certainly transcended and shaped me to where I am today. They virtually removed fear in me too when it comes to punting the market. I now see things in a different perspective as compared to last time. Hope that it help others.

"You are your own teacher. Looking for teachers can't solve your own doubts. Investigate yourself to find the truth - inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important."

"In truth, happiness is suffering in disguise but in such a subtle form that you don't see it. If you cling to happiness, it's the same as clinging to suffering but you don't realize it. When you hold onto happiness, it's impossible to throw away the inherent suffering, they are inseparable like that. When happiness arises, don't be overjoyed, and don't get carried away. When suffering comes, don't despair, don't lose yourself in it. See that they have the same equal value."

Wanting is suffering, wanting not to have is suffering. Even if you get what you want, it's still suffering because once you've got it, you then live in the fear of losing it. How are you going to live happily with fear?"
