Quote by Harvey Korman

Summary

This quote highlights the transformative power of embracing one's true self. The speaker initially doubts their abilities and the positive feedback they receive. However, when they fully immerse themselves in their chosen persona (symbolized by putting on the suit and moustache), their extraordinary qualities shine through. It suggests that sometimes it takes fully embracing who we are and stepping into our authentic selves to realize our true potential and achieve greatness.

First of all, Buddhism is neither pessimistic nor optimistic

First of all, Buddhism is neither pessimistic nor optimistic. If anything at all, it is realistic, for it takes a realistic view of life and the world. It looks at things objectively (). It does not falsely lull you into living in a fool's paradise, nor does it frighten and agonize you with all kinds of imaginary fears and sins. It tells you exactly and objectively what you are and what the world around you is, and shows you the way to perfect freedom, peace, tranquility and happiness.
