More From C. Northcote Parkinson

What is the purpose for which masonry exists? its ultimate purpose is the perfection of humanity. mankind it self is still in a period of youth. we are only now beginning to acquire a consciousness of the social aim of civilization, which is man's perfection. such perfection can never end with physical perfection, which is only the means to the end or spiritual perfection.

One method of staying ahead of rising asset prices and the declining dollar is to think bigger and come up with better plans. as important as financial and business planning is a plan for personal development and self-improvement. i'm often asked to invest in people's business plans, and one of the reasons i turn many of them down is because a big plan requires a big person who's spent time on personal development. in a lot of cases, a business plan is far bigger than the person with the plan - that is, the dream is bigger than the dreamer.

You see everything depends upon the psychological headquarters from which we live. 'where am i living from?' ask yourself that question. if you don't like your headquarters, you can move any time you like. break away. don't tell anyone about it. others will either smile tolerantly or mouth sanctimonious babble. make your escape plans in secret. never mind if you lose certain friends, you will find others who also have dared. they will be ten-thousand times more valuable to you.

Finally, a jeet kune do man who says jeet kune do is exclusively jeet kune do is simply not with it. he is still hung up on his self-closing resistance, in this case anchored down to reactionary pattern, and naturally is still bound by another modified pattern and can move within its limits. he has not digested the simple fact that truth exists outside all molds; pattern and awareness is never exclusive. again let me remind you jeet kune do is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to be discarded and not to be carried on one's back.
