“Do or do not. There is no try.”
~ Yoda, Jedi Master
I’m going to try to get up early tomorrow morning.
Uh…
I’m going to try to lose that weight.
Uh…
I’m going to try to create a beautiful, loving relationship.
Uh…
Do or do not. There is no try.
(Thank you, Yoda. :))

“Books ARE heavy. Lol. My closet-shelf-cum-bookshelf is groaning under the
weight of all the books I have. When I learned about what PhilosophersNotes
is, I knew you had a winner... Now when I'm working out, working, veggin out
(not nearly as much as I might like to) I can be constructive and listen to
you wax philosophical on some of the most insightful books of our time on my
ipod. And that's pretty darn neat. :-)”
“Brian: Wow! A real person at the other end of a transaction on the internet. I am impressed. Very nice to get the note. Even nicer to discover the work. AMAZING concept. So beats the old cliff notes, executive summaries etc. I am a bookaholic and aspiring writer. To find a way to get the word to as many people is a gift you give these authors. Even greater is the fact that it is transparent up front in partnership with them. On the same wavelenth as many of the books are on my shelf already. Yet several I have yet to take the time to delve into. Oh and one last thing. I am a book jumper. What I mean by this is I read about 10 or 15 at once rarely from cover to cover. I am more into the intuitive relevance. The ones I really like I get the book and the audio. Now I can get philosophersnotes. Will spread the word. PS. Like the zip file download of the PDFs.”
"The characteristic of genuine heroism, is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
