Amount of Work is the same!
2007/06/06,18:04

Walking casually in the platform, I came across this quote which was displayed in the LCD monitors of the railway station.

"The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.”

                                                                                  - Carlos Castenada

This was the first time I heard of Carlos Castenada. The truth in the statement struck me and I started looking for his quotes in internet.
I find the below ones to be thought provoking...

“I wanted to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while,
in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.

“We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.”

“To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last
moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves
into one or the other.”

”“Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge,and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.”
