A little bit on aspect #1: Knowledge/Wisdom
Knowledge is an accumulation of the past and wisdom is a focusing of the future. My entire life I have had a continuing curiosity for knowledge...insatiable desire actually. My obession with wisdom is also unceasing. So what do I know for sure:
1. One should be known for integrity and honesty.
2. learning and introspection are exponential
3. today is sunny with possibility
4. to be a 'Silver-Lining Seeker' and to be positive, for the Universe is holding up a mirror
5. every day have some fun, notice something beautiful, breathe deeply
6. creativity is divine
7. boredom is of the self
8. love = respect, admiration and trust
9. The glow of inner grace is kindled with gratitude
10. I deserve, serenity, security and love
11. to remember to celebrate!
12. I was born to Dream big!
13. Instead of aspiring to normalcy to be exceptional!
14. A realized life is one of worthy purpose!
15. You can really learn a lot from Socrates and others:
As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

Wisdom begins in wonder.
-Socrates
Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
- Buddha

16. Begin!
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
- W.H. Murray
Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now
-Geothe
