Inspirational Destiny Men

More From Joseph Joubert

Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. it is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.
Meaningful Running Destiny
I can worship nature, and that fulfills my need for miracles and beauty. art gives a spiritual depth to existence -- i can find worlds bigger and deeper than my own in music, paintings, and books. and from my friends and family i receive the highest benediction, emotional contact, and personal affirmation. i can bow before the works of man, from buildings to babies, and that fulfills my need for wonder. i can believe in the sanctity of life, and that becomes the revealed word, to live my life as i believe it should be, not as i'm told to by self-appointed guides.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.
Happiness Jobs Growing Up
Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.
Land People Waiting
Who i am is what fulfills me and fulfills the vision i have of the world.
Self Esteem Who I Am Vision
I think that young people are less attached to items and objects now. they're less attached to consuming things and accruing things because they see it as a system that doesn't necessarily work and give them a sense of adulthood and fulfillment. they're much more in tune with wanting to achieve a skill, a form of self-expression, or a body of knowledge that fulfills the same function, fulfills their adulthood.

I don't like to dwell on the past. i'm interested in fischerandom now, i am working on a new clock, i'm trying to make chess a more exciting game today. i am not interested in sitting in my rocking chair thinking what i did 10, 20 or 30 years ago.
Past Thinking Years
You're only a beginner; and what you think is love, and interest, and all that, is not real love at all: three quarters of it is only unsatisfied curiosity.
Real Thinking Curiosity
I think i'd like to be best friends with björk, because i'd like to pick her brain a lot all the time and just have weird times together.
Thinking Brain Together
