Pearls of Wisdom from Hawaii
Adapted from Wise Secrets of Aloha, by Kahuna Harry Uhane Jim and Garnette Arledge (Weiser Books, 2007).
Feel the touch of Hawaiian thought and spirituality with these pearls of wisdom from a book by a Hawaiian Kahuna, Keeper of the Deep Mysteries. Pearls of wisdom are those phrases that hold up for generations and offer insight that help us to realize goals of health and happiness.
Never judge a day by the weather.
The best things in life aren’t things.
Tell the truth–there’s less to remember.
Speak softly and wear a loud shirt.
Goals are deceptive. The unaimed arrow never misses.
He who dies with most toys still dies.
Age is relative. When you are over the hill, you pick up speed.
There are two ways to be rich–make more or desire less.
Beauty is internal–looks mean nothing.
No rain, no rainbows.
Say “I love me,” and you’ll always have plenty.

Goals are deceptive. The unaimed arrow never misses.- lol, so true, it seems whenever I shoot and aim, I miss.

the last one amuses me a bit but my favourite is definitely "speak softly and wear a loud shirt", partially because I do the latter but not the former (yet in general agree) and also because the loud shirt part seems so hawaiian =D

Tell the truth there is less to remember. This is so true and it is the principle I try to live by because it makes life so much easier if you don't have to remember who you told what lie to. Avoid the confusion and just live by speaking the truth at allt imes.
