According to John Addison, "To be effective in the world, 
you have to carry within a core of untroubled calm, 
a sense of inner peace that is content in who you are,
with all your best intentions and all your imperfections. 
When you maintain that peaceful core within you, 
you can weather whatever storms are happening on the outside."

We all need peace in our lives. When we have peace within, 
then we can really, truly function on the outside.
Without peace, there can be no growth.
You can't think. You can't plan. You can't do.
And when you can't live a normal life, 
it is impossible to go for an extraordinary life.

To carry peace within you, you must pay attention to your thoughts.
Do peaceful things. Do small thing in a peaceful way.
Hang out with peaceful people. Read peaceful things.
And make sure that your mind is filled with peaceful thoughts.
Why? Because peaceful things come from peaceful thoughts.

You can start with these life lessons from
Pericles, he was a Greek politician

Human beings are fragile
"Trees, though they are cut and lopped, grow up again quickly,
but if men are destroyed, it is not easy to get them again."

Freedom is not free
"Freedom is the sure possession of those alone
who have the courage to defend it."

Your legacy matters
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments,
but what is woven into the lives of others."

Happiness depends on freedom
"Make up your mind that happiness depends on being free,
and freedom depends on being courageous."

The future is unknown. Be brave.
"But the bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what 
is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet 
notwithstanding go out to meet it."
