BIRTHDAYS AUGUST 9, 2023 WHITNEY HOUSTON, JEAN PIAGET, SATISH KUMAR.

WHITNEY HOUSTON        1963-2012    “I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU” 

                    THERE CAN BE MIRACLES WHEN YOU BELIEVE.

LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF, IS THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL.

YOU CAN FOOL PEOPLE. YOU can fool anybody anytime of the day, but you can’t fool yourself. At night, when you go home, you’ve got to be straight up with you.

         I LIKE BEING A WOMAN, even in a man’s world. After all, men can’t wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.

I DECIDED LONG AGO, NEVER TO WALK IN ANYONE’S SHADOWS.

          MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME BEAUTY REALLY LIVESS IN PLACES LIKE A SMILE.

         JUDGE NOT FFOR YOUR FLAWS, BUT FOR YOUR TRIUMPHS.

               When I decided to be a singer, MY MOTHER WARNED ME I’D BE ALONE A LOT. BASICALLY WE ALL ARE. LONELINESS COMES WITH LIFE.

           IF YOU SAY MY EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL, IT’S BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING AT YOU.

          I’M AN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL. And I love gospel. I like things that lift me up.

       I BROKE MY HEART FOR EVERY GAIN, to taste the sweet I faced the pain.

SATISH KUMAR.      1936——      “Elegant Simplicity”   “SOUL MAN”

      ALL THE BIG PROBLEMS of the world today are routed in the philosophy of separateness and dualism.

        INSTEAD OF SEEKING SUCCESS  we should look for fulfillment. And fulfillment is giving total attention to the process of living.

     LEAD ME FROM DEATH TO LIFE, from falsehood to truth; Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust; Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace; Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe.

            IF INDIVIDUALS  START TO WALK ON THE PATH of spirit and feel a sense of the sacred connectedness, then social, economic and political problems will also begin to get resolved.

       HAPPINESS is possible only when we are kind to others and contented within.

            IF WE HAD ADHERED TO THE CONCEPT OF connectedness, then we would not have created nuclear weapons, huge armies and global warming.

         IF HAPPINESS was in money or power, then America should be the happiest country in the world, but it is not.

     WE NEED TO LEARN to live in the here and now, this moment is the best moment. Live it fully.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE . . .best way of forging this relationship . . . be a pilgrim and not a tourist on Planet Earth.

      SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS  — you find enchantment in every action you do, rather in just the results of your action. Spiritual consciousness is not a particular religion but a way of being.

        HUMAN HAPPINESS, true prosperity and joyful living can only emerge from a life of elegant simplicity, embedded in the arts and crafts.

        HOW MUCH I CAN LEARN FROM A TREE! The tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.

         WHAT WE CALL ‘ECONOMIC GROWTH’ is in fact a growth in waste and a decline in the health of natural habitat.

LOOK AT WHAT REALISTS HAVE DONE FOR US. They have led us to war and climate change, poverty on an unimaginable scale, and wholesale ecological destruction. Half of humanity goes to bed hungry because of all the realistic leaders in the world. I tell people who call me ‘unrealistic’ to show me what their realism has done. Realism is an outdated, overplayed and wholly exaggerated concept.

JEAN PIAGET                    1896-1980.”The Psychology of the Child” “Structuralism” ” A Swiss psychologist know for cognitive development and epistemological view are together called ‘genetic epistemology’. Piaget placed great importance on the education of children.”

                            PLAY IS THE WORK OF CHILDHOOD.

     WHEN YOU TEACH A CHILD SOMETHING you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself.

      CHILDREN REQUIRE long, uninterrupted periods of play and exploration.

            ARE WE FORMING CHILDREN who are only capable of learning what is already known? Or should we try to develop creative and innovative minds, capable of discovery from the preschool age on, throughout life?

                                   LIVE, LOVE, BE HAPPY!
