                               The Soul of Rumi: A New                                    Collection of Ecstatic Poems   Rumi  We watch a sunlight dust dance, and we try to be that lively, but nobody knows what music those particles hear. Each of us has a secret companion musician to dance to. You’ve been stony for too many years. Try something different. Surrender Pain comes from seeing how arrogant you’ve been, and pain brings you out of this conceit. We are misquoted texts, made right when you say us. Consider how Satan swallowed soul poison, and be grateful that you taste only the sweetness of being warned. The moon stays bright when it doesn’t avoid the night. Love tears its shirt. Mind begins the sewing repair. Morning opens a door with help for those who don’t...

The startup nation Dan Senor & Saul Singer By isolating Israel, Agassi told us with an impish smile, Israel’s adversaries had actually created the perfect laboratory to test ideas.  in addition to boasting the highest density of start-ups in the world (a total of 3,850 start-ups, one for every 1,844 Israelis),6 more Israeli companies are listed on the NASDAQ exchange than all companies from the entire European continent adversity, like necessity, breeds inventiveness Israeli culture and regulations reflect a unique attitude to failure, one that has managed to repeatedly bring failed entrepreneurs back into the system to constructively use their experience to try again, rather than leave them permanently stigmatized and marginalized.  The Israelis were making the twenty-hour trip between Tel Aviv and California so frequently that they seemed omnipresent, always ready to corner an executive in the hallway or even a restroom—anything to argue their c...

Life of Pi Yann Martel  I would turn Portugal into a fiction. That’s what fiction is about, isn't it, the selective transforming of reality? The twisting of it to bring out its essence?  I have nothing to say of my working life, only that a tie is a noose, and inverted though it is, it will hang a man nonetheless if he’s not careful. A good zoo is a place of carefully worked-out coincidence: exactly where an animal says to us, “Stay out!” with its urine or other secretion,  we say to it, “Stay in!” with our barriers. Under such conditions of diplomatic peace, all animals are content and we can relax and have a look at each other. To  choose  doubt  as  a  philosophy  of  life  is  akin to  choosing  immobility  as  a  means  of transportation. Life  will  defend itself no matter how small it is. Whatever the reason for wanting to escape, sane or insane, zoo detracto...

The Garden of The Prophet Khalil Gibran Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpetings, and farewells him with hootings, only to welcome another with trumpetings again Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation In your waking dream, when you are hushed and listening to your deeper self, your thoughts, like snow- flakes, fall and flutter and garment all the sounds of your spaces with white silence. “And what are waking dreams but clouds that bud and blossom on the sky-tree of your heart? And what are your thoughts but the petals which the winds of your heart scatter upon the hills and its fields? “And even as you wait for peace until the formless within you takes form, so shall the cloud gather and drift until the Blessed Fingers shape its grey desire to little crystal suns and moons and stars. When darkness is upon you, say: ‘This darkness is dawn not yet born To be a garden without walls, a vineyard without a guardi...
