"Gravity can not be held responsible for the People falling in Love."
There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success.

There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.
- Chinese Proverb
In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In business, be competent. In action, watch the timing.
Democracy not equal to Conformocracy
You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

From iskool to school - painting the natives
This civilization doesn't scream out its superiority, it lets it seep in and enter the bloodstream. It subtly lets the 'native' know that it has the power to help him deal with the present and the future through its sciences, its dress code, its architecture, its food. I call it the slow and steady colonization of the mind. And, in the forefront of the colonizing process was the language.
'Ammi, it's not iskool, the word is school.'
- Excerpted from Ammi: Letter To a Democratic Mother by Saeed Mirza
