True celebration should come from your life, in your life. And true celebration cannot be according to the calendar, that on the first of November you will celebrate. Strange, the whole year you are miserable and on the first of November suddenly you come out of misery, dancing. Either, the misery is false, or the first of November is false; both cannot be true. And once the first of November has gone, you are back in your dark hole, everybody in his misery, everybody in his anxiety. ~Rajneesh

I was asked the other day if I would be interested in the Nobel Prize, but I think that for me it would be an absolute catastrophe.

In running, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are relative to anyone else. You set your own pace and you measure your own progress.
