Time for a test, lessons later

In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

Nature doesn't let go waste

Even adversities have hidden lessons. In nature, nothing goes waste.

Nature, the visible God

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshipping.

Focus on consumption, not production :(

Products that are sustainable are those produced and consumed locally; when buyers are able to witness the production process, they will demand that it occur in line with their values. When it's out of sight, it's difficult to get enough of them to care. Changing that may require more than a little magic.

Turn to imagination when you are in dark

Turn your face to Sun and shadows will fall behind you.

Imagination, not intelligence, made us human.

Brew served while I travelled


Ambition can be made of anything. - HSBC Ad

You don't own a patke bag. You take care of it for the next generation. - patke bag Ad

The Joy of being somewhere else on holiday is wonderful, but getting there is not so much fun. - Marc Newson,  designer

We would know when we were old because we'd tell a story more than once. Relating a story more than once would reveal that not only were our life experiences ever diminishing, but also how bourgeois and middle-class we had become.

[At parties] Dinner is more challenging because you are sitting with people for a protracted length of time. This requires telling them more than one story apiece.

- Melinda Stevens, editor, conde nast traveller

Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be.
- Daniel J Boorstin

Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life.

Freshly brewed

To be a chooser, you need to stop being a beggar.

Everyone wants to take a picture with Santa but not with the person wearing the Santa's mask. Such is the world

Anything real is complex.

Construction of mind is the biggest creative adventure one must embark upon every once in a while
--------------------
Travelling tells you what moves the world
The shoes and the bags
The lines, deadlines and the airlines
The dresses and the tresses
And all that in between
The work and the network

Suddenly thirst arose and told her version
Of what "really" moves the world
The air and the water 
Thethe sunlit day and the moonlit night
The dreams in open eyes
Love love love
Hot food cooked right
--------------------
Gaps, Gaps
they fill the streets
Gaps, gaps
they make a treat
Gaps, they create wars
they bring closer, people apart

Gaps, they trigger a talk
Sometimes over a wine,
Others over a lil walk
--------------------
Happiness, It has its way
way to tease, way to appease
way to make u say "give me please"

Just to get that little happiness, we become willing to make others unhappy

Every generation should avoid settling their score via their next ones

Abstraction

Abstractions should generally fit the common-sense use-cases and "just work".

King of a different kind

If we will not endure a king as a political power, we should not endure a king over the production, transportation and sale of any of the necessities of life. If we would not submit to an emperor, we should not submit to an autocrat of trade with power to prevent competition and to fix the price of any commodity.
- Ohio Republican John Sherman said on the floor of Congress

Assumptions hold unlocked value

The harder we fight to hold on to a specific assumption, the more likely there is gold in letting go of them.
