HAPPY NEW YEAR - HERE'S WISDOM FROM YODA



I'll leave you with some words of wisdom from Yoda, from the movie
'Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back' :)

Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?
Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a
powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy
surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude
matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me,
the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the
ship.

[Using the Force, Yoda effortlessly frees the X-Wing from the bog]

Luke: I don't, I don't believe it.
Yoda: That is why you fail.

[Later...]

Yoda: ...a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the
dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are
they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you
start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny,
consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice.
Luke: Vader... Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi
uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

---------------------- Okay - I know I'm too old to be a Star' Wars Geek (but I am -so what of it:) But wisdom is Wisdom- even if it comes from Yoda.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!
