THOUGHTS and Beliefs
The greatest achievement is selflessness. "Plant seeds of opportunity daily . . . Don't Judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant." Each day you have many opportunities to do great things, but do not expect success to happen all in one day. Each day is a building block that leads you to future success and greater challenges. Apply yourself to strengthen your foundation and consider each day as a chance to learn new ideas which will lead to greater success in the future.
"Sometimes one creates a dynamic
impression by saying something, All the Buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact: Be - don't try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.
"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never
be truly fulfilled."
"Knowledge is Power" "To thy own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day thou canst not then be false to any man." "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment."
What is CouchSurfing? Michael's Current Mission through Couch Surfing International is: "To positive impact people around the world and our environment through education and collaboration". Some of the Many References from those who have met and/or stayed with Michael through CouchSurfing: www.CouchSurfing.com/waypoint/ "Michael surprised me with hosting me for one night - thanks! An otherwise busy guy, and busy home, he opened up his home to me while hosting two other CSers! Oh, and it's a beautiful place to boot, as other CSers have mentioned (I'm double vouching any other references on this). I hope Michael is still available to host more people, since he is a pretty active host in a busy CSing-kind-of-place!" "He is a brilliant host . . . we felt absolutely comfortable, independent, and happy to share time with him, even if it wasn't enough...magic location, fantastic shower and Boston's beer...wow!! This is the second part of our reference! We hosted Michael in Spain and it was unforgettable. We met thru CouchSurfing but we feel him as a real good friend, he entered into the Spanish culture, talking to everybody as a curiose and intelligent person, respectful and gratefull. Thanks for coming we really miss u..." "wonderful guy! great conversationalist"
"We went out and saw Zumanity, explored the casinos and
went hat shopping at 1am in the morning. Mike is a great
guy and it is fantastic how much effort he goes to, to
reduce his carbon footprint! "It was great to have Michael surf my home. He is an amazing man and is focused and determined person in all areas of his life. He is easy going and knows a lot about a lot of things. He has a great deal of passion about his work and the environment and walks his talk. I found him to be quite an inspiring person and I look forward to keeping in touch with him. He has an open invite at my home anytime. I'm sure you will enjoy his company if you get the opportunity to have him surf with you." "We had heaps of fun with Mike in Vegas! We would love to meet him again and host him in Germany!!!"
