"Men are not afraid of things but of how they view them" --- Epicteetus "If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe those judgements out NOW!" --- Marcus Aurelius
"In Zen it is said that the gap between accepting things the way they are and wishing them to be otherwise is "the tenth of an inch between heaven and hell" If we can accept whatever hand we've been dealt -- no matter how unwelcome -- the way to proceed eventualy becomes clear. This is what is meant by right action: the capacity to observe whats happening and act appropriately, without being distracted by self-centered thought. If we rage and resist, our angry, fearful minds have trouble quieting down sufficiently to allow us to act in the most beneficial way for ourselves and others." --- Phil Jackson --- Sacred Hoops

"Ted Williams seldom responed to fan mail. But when he got a letter asking him who he modeled his hitting after; Babe Ruth or Lou Gherig, Mr. Williams resplied: "neither." His idol was Roger Hornsby, whose strength was the patience to wait for the right ball. Whereas Babe Ruth swung at nearly everything that moved-and though he did hit more home runs than anyone of his era, he also struck out more than anyone---Lou Gherig was simply able to overpower pitchers with sheer force. But for Ted Williams, Roger Hornsby was the man. It wasnt so much the stance or the swing, but his willingness to wait for the right pitch that made the difference." Jeff Cooper -- The Best
