I believe there's a lot of wisdom there....

I DO know that I love traditional Chinese and Japanese gardens and style in general.... Walking into a traditional Chinese garden immediately gives you a feeling of peace and serenity....

Yes, I never paid too much heed to my environment, but I'm going to do so now.... It can have a big effect on your health and wellbeing and I believe also on your success....

And it's also important thinking about the environment you meet people in.... For example, if you want people to have a particular view of you, then you should try to meet them in the "right" environment for that connection to be made. It has a much bigger effect than most people realize....
