Summary

The quote expresses agreement with the liberal values of compassion, justice, and equality, while expressing disagreement with the idea that the government should be responsible for providing everything. It suggests that while these values are important, it is not the role of the government to fulfill all needs and demands; rather, there should be a balance between promoting these values and individuals taking some personal responsibility for their own welfare. The quote implicitly supports a more limited role for government involvement in providing for people's needs.

On the philosophical level, both Buddhism and modern science

On the philosophical level, both Buddhism and modern science share a deep suspicion of any notion of absolutes, whether conceptualize as a transcendent being, as an eternal, unchanging principle such as soul, or as a fundamental substratum of reality. ...

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.
