Vernon Howard
Image
Be teachable. That is the whole secret.
Vernon Howard
Image
Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation it requires simple acceptance and nothing else.
Vernon Howard
Image
A cheery relaxation is man's natural state, just as nature itself is relaxed. A waterfall is concerned only with being itself, not with doing something it considers waterfall-like.
Vernon Howard
