[Quote No.62743] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[It is helpful to approach life with the following positive attitude:] A writer -- and, I believe, generally all persons -- must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art [- learn more and grow and evolve into fuller versions of our potential best selves]." - Jorge Luis Borges
(1899-1986), writer.

[Quote No.52733] Need Area: Friends > Friends
"[Poem:]

'To a Cat'

Mirrors are not more silent
nor the creeping dawn more secretive;
in the moonlight, you are that panther
we catch sight of from afar.
By the inexplicable workings of a divine law,
we look for you in vain;
More remote, even, than the Ganges or the setting sun,
yours is the solitude, yours the secret.
Your haunch allows the lingering
caress of my hand. You have accepted,
since that long forgotten past,
the love of the distrustful hand.
You belong to another time. You are lord
of a place bounded like a dream.

" - Jorge Luis Borges
(1899 – 1986), Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges KBE, Argentine poet, essayist, and short-story writer.

[Quote No.52561] Need Area: Fun > Experiences
"[Poem: about being relaxed and enjoying life more.]

'Instants' [Moments]

If I could live again my life,
In the next - I'll try,
- to make more mistakes,
I won't try to be so perfect,
I'll be more relaxed,
I'll be more full - than I am now,
In fact, I'll take fewer things seriously,
I'll be less hygenic,
I'll take more risks,
I'll take more trips,
I'll watch more sunsets,
I'll climb more mountains,
I'll swim more rivers,
I'll go to more places - I've never been,
I'll eat more ice creams and less (lime) beans,
I'll have more real problems - and less imaginary ones,
I was one of those people who live
prudent and prolific lives -
each minute of his life,
Of course I had moments of joy - but,
if I could go back I'll try to have only good moments,

If you don't know - that's what life is made of,
Don't lose the now!

I was one of those who never goes anywhere
without a thermometer,
without a hot-water bottle,
and without an umbrella and without a parachute,

If I could live again - I will travel light,
If I could live again - I'll try to work bare feet
at the beginning of spring till
the end of autumn,
I'll ride more carts,
I'll watch more sunrises and play with more children,
If I have the life to live - but now I am 85,
- and I know that I am dying ...

" - Jorge Luis Borges
This poem is usually attributed to Jorge Luis Borges, although that is disputed, refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moments_(poem) .
