“A wolf pack: the first 3 are the old or sick, they give the pace to the entire pack. If it was the other way round, they would be left behind, losing contact with the pack. In case of an ambush they would be sacrificed. Then come 5 strong ones, the front line. In the center are the rest of the pack members, then the 5 strongest following. Last is alone, the alpha. He controls everything from the rear. In that position he can see everything, decide the direction. He sees all of the pack. The pack moves according to the elders pace and help each other, watch each other.” -Unknown Cesare Brai’s photo.

MUST READ:

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

 Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

 Don’t make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

 Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Toltec spiritualist Don Miguel Ruiz’s iconic book The Four Agreements asks us to live up to four simple truths in our lifetime, which will result in a life where you are fully dedicated to yourself.

Often called a life-changing book, it is full of universal truths we all know but dismiss daily. The Four Agreements kindly and compassionately remind you to nurture your soul and leave behind negative habits which inflict pain and long-lasting hurt.

Awesome SciFi Writer

AUTHOR OF THE DAY: 

Ray Bradbury

Ray Douglas Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois. From an early age he had an interest adventure and fantasy fiction. He was a huge fan of L. Frank Baum, Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burroughs. 

At the age of 12, Bradbury decided he would become a writer. After graduating high school, Bradbury was unable to attend college. He couldn’t afford college and made the proactive decision to visit libraries every week to educate himself. He confesses:

“Libraries raised me…I believe in libraries because most students don’t have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression, and we had no money. I couldn’t go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years.”

In 1938, the year he graduated high school, Bradbury published his first short story in a fan magazine. The following year, Bradbury published four issues in Futuria Fantasia, his own magazine. Ironically, most of the literature in Futuria Fantasia was written by Bradbury. To disguise the fact that the magazine was run by a single person, he used several pen names. Reminiscing on his early work, he confesses with pride: 

“I was still years away from writing my first good short story…but I could see my future. I knew where I wanted to go.”

By 1943, Bradbury had become a full-time writer. In 1947, he published Dark Carnival, his first collection of short stories. In 1950, The Martian Chronicles were published, his first major novel to land him on the map. Labelled a science fiction writer from this point on, Bradbury refuted the claim and fiercely declared:

I don’t write science fiction…Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal. So Martian Chronicles is not science fiction, it’s fantasy. It couldn’t happen, you see?”

His most outstanding novel, Fahrenheit 451 was published in 1953. It became an instant classic for its themes of conformity and censorship. 

Throughout his career Bradbury never stopped writing. His daughters granted him the pleasure of transcribing his work while he dictated well into his 90s. During his later years, he participated in many interviews and raised funds for his local library. It is no secret that Bradbury had always been outspoken about his love for writing and libraries. On his 80th birthday in 2000, Bradbury stated:

“The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me. The feeling I have every day is very much the same as it was when I was twelve. In any event, here I am, eighty years old, feeling no different, full of a great sense of joy, and glad for the long life that has been allowed me. I have good plans for the next ten or twenty years, and I hope you’ll come along..”
