Book: The Tao of Pooh

The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff

If you build your house where the Wind can blow it over, then let it go to pieces while you worry about how to spell Marmalade, what is it likely to happen?
 
One man's food is often another man's poison, and what is glamorous and exciting to some can be a dangerous trap to others
 
Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life? We are determined to be starved before we are hungry. Men say that a stitch in time saves nine, and so they take a thousand stitches to-day to save nine tomorrow, Henry David Thoreau
 
 
Wise know their limitations, the foolish do not
 
People are easily led away from what's right for them
 
The bad can be the raw material for the good
 
Those who think that the rewarding things in life are somewhere beyond the rainbow
 
The goal doesn't mean so much once it is reached
 
The goal has to be right for us and it has to be beneficial in order to ensure a beneficial process
 

  
The mass of men lead lives quiet desperation
 
Music is the space between the notes, Claude Debussy
 
Many people are afraid of emptiness however it reminds them of loneliness
 
Enjoyment of the process is the secret that erases the myths of the Great Reward and Saving Time.
 
The clouds above us join and separate,
The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns.
Life is like that, so why not relax?
Who can stop us from celebrating?
