On Buckminster Fuller
If ever there was anything in my life that I
can say that I really believed in, it would be
this. Prior to my encounter with Bucky, I was
a very skeptical person. Never could I say
that I could trust anyone nor believe in
anything. Since I learnt about him and from
him I'll admit that I believe in Bucky, what
he shared, his experiences. He made sense to
me. He had no personal agenda, nothing to
sell to me. He was Integrity personified.

And that's also why I am committed to share
his philosophy, his works, etc., through my
Bucky sessions, with my Bucky Group and
also my Bucky Workshops.

Anger does not solve anything.
Nobody can makes me angry but they can
trigger my prevailing turbulence.
Many people do not listen carefully so allow
them to misunderstand for the moment.
Do not reason with depressed people. You
are assuming they are logical.
I have to feel 'good' now to continue to enjoy
'goodness' in the future.
Courage is acting against Fear not feeling no
fear to start off with.

Do not hang on to something out of Fear.
When you let them go, you free the space for
Love.
Do not compromise your clarity just because
people around you are not clear.
When you run too fast, you may drop your
coins.
Patience means not running out of your
mind or character while waiting.
Only help people who are worthy to be
helped. Otherwise you are making them
worse.

Nothing is permanent ( including this list ).
Things fail when it is not design to deal with
changes.
One can reduces one's ignorance by learning
more about oneself and the World around
us.
Sharing what I discover about myself and the
World around me is intellectual
philanthropy.
There is power when one knows one can be
wrong.

There is always more than one way of seeing
and doing things.
Listen to people who have unpopular views.
Do one's own thinking.
If one does not make choices, choices make
one.
