"The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do." - Henry Moore, Sculpture

At a friend's wedding a long time, I heard the following passage from the Corinthians 13:4-8. That was the first time I heard it. It sounded so beautiful to me, and so when you hear something new and interesting for the first time, you always remember the place and time you hear it. Most of us get love wrong because we came for me. The ones that get it right, they came for her or for him.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

If you could have a wish, what would it be for?

There are so many wishes that come to mind, but I would wish for inner strength to complete my tasks the way that I want to. So that I may share happiness with those around me.

One of the greatest baseball managers of all time, John McGraw employs a strategy that takes risks and tests the nerve of the other team by always stretching a single into a double or a double into a triple.  One should always take risk when in competition.

It is said that Ghandi so neutralized the hatred of the British so much so that he even scheduled his civil disobedience around their holidays, so that it would not inconvenience his enemies' family and religious times.  He completely neutralized their negative energies and all they had left was their love for the peaceful understanding man.

The world doesn't have enough space for all the egos to be right, because someone has to be wrong. Right and wrong is a perception and a judgement from a limited, and probably negative, perspective. It is better to focus on love and kindness.  Love and kindness are never wrong and they create more for everyone.

In a book on hypnotism that I listened to, there is one thing that a woman does that drives a man's animal instinct to come and approach her. Make eye contact with the guy and then look away to the right side. Later make eye contact with the guy again and then this time look down. Now don't look at him anymore. The message from her eye contact actions send a message of submission and triggers a man's animal instincts to pursue a submissive female. Nature's conditioning takes over and he simply can't help himself but must approach the woman. Good luck hunting.

You can't win an argument with a crazy person.

All women all crazy.

Therefore, you can't win an argument with a woman.

"Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made  to believe, but the maturity of the soul." - Aleksander I. Solzhenitzyn, the Gulag Archipelago
