“Always remember to believe in yourself, not in what others believe about you. There is greatness in us all”
Kiran Dellimore

“Always remember to believe in yourself, not in what others believe about you. There is greatness in us all”
Kiran Dellimore

“A patient suffering with cancer of the throat was informed of a new X-ray machine that would cure his condition. This man could neither read nor write, nor was he informed about any of the instruments or procedures of medical practice. When he first sat down in the doctor's office and received into his mouth a thermometer with which the doctor sought to take his temperature, he believed he was undergoing X-ray treatment. The doctor, alert to the practices of psychology, recognized this, and after leaving the thermometer in the patient's mouth for ten minutes, excused him and told him to return in two days. Three weeks of treatment with a thermometer cured this patient's cancerous condition! Obviously, it wasn't the thermometer that did it. It was Faith!”
Uell S. Andersen, Three Magic Words

“When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready... The teacher will Disappear.”
Tao Te Ching

“Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.”
