We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety, a hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. Try to be at peace with yourself and help others share that peace. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.
- The Dalai Lama

No Experts Needed
…just a quick note to thank you for posting the quote by the Dalai Lama…always a good reminder. And a good reminder to take one
of his books off my shelf and read again…
Somewhere along those lines is my reason to offer you a gift copy
of my book. Offer open to all who read this. No strings attached.
(Really!) Simply my way of giving back.
If interested, e-mail me: http://www.noexpertsneeded.com
Thanks again!
