Enjoy the beauty of flowers, trees, beetles, wasps, toads, snakes, butterflies, dragonflies, millipedes, centipedes, spiders, ants, and more. Whether this book is for you or a gift for someone you love, take a Look Inside to see what awaits you in this journal for teens."If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers, because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop, tolerance, patience and understanding.""An eye for an eye...and we are all blind.""A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.""When you realize you've made a mistake, take the necessary steps to correct it.""If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.""Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.""Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
