Quote From Steve Jobs

I think the quote is really relevant in this hustle and bustle world of ours:

"You have to say NO to a thousand things so that you can say YES to the few that really matters."

In the photo, all the small stones do not really matter, the two big ones does.

I have to be really selective about the teas that I am collecting or for that matter teapots. Otherwise I will run out of resources and the means to collect prized examples. Then again there is the matter of storage space. I will be hoarding rubbish.

This coming holiday I am going to sort out my teapots and tea collection and so that I can focus on my collections. I will try to use this also for my Buddhist practice and work too. There is a great need to focus on the big rocks.

For those who are dieting this can be easily rephrased :

"You have to stop eating junk food (say NO to a thousand things) so that you can eat more nutritious food (say YES to the few) that really matters."


Thanks Mr Jobs.

In today's world, we are flooded with choices. It takes wisdom to know what to say 'no' to.
