 “ It is a bad plan that admits of no modification” Pubillius Syrus (100 BC) Maxims  “Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood. Make big plans, aim high in hope and work”. Daniel H. Burnham ( )

“He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign.” Victor Hugo, ( )

“Instead of making others right or wrong, or bottling up right and wrong in ourselves, there’s a middle way, a very powerful middle way…..Could we have no agenda when we walk into a room with another person, not know what to say, not make that person wrong or right? Could we see, hear, feel other people as they really are? It is powerful to practice this way…..true communication can happen only in that open space.” Pema Chodron, Buddhist nun. Coordinator of Gammpo Abbey retreat in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada
