Welcome Back ... from Yoda

Welcome back to school. I hope your break has been as wonderful as mine was. We now head into what some consider the meat and potatoes of the school year -- others may call it the toughest three months (January, February and March) of the year.

I figure we need a philosophical perspective as we move ahead. And is there a better philosopher than Yoda? I think not.

I am stealing today's post a bit from a website called The 12 Most. They have posted the 12 most insightful quotes from Yoda. Here they are:

1) Hard to see, the dark side is
2) Truly wonderful the mind of a child is
3) Great warrior, hmm. Wars don't make one great
4) Already know you that which you need
5) Size matters not
6) Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. 
7) Mind what you have learned. Save you it can. 
8) Do or do not. There is no try. 
9) Always in motion the future is
10) Named what your fear be before banish it you can
11) You will know the good from the bad when you are calm 
12) Much to learn you still have, my old Padawan. This is just the beginning
