get drunk on love , for love is all that exists
unless you make love your business
you will not be admitted to the beloved

“I worked on the industrial and consumer products side of things in the past, and if you take a new chemical and put it into, say, a tennis racket, you have to notify the E.P.A. before you put it in,” Mr. Neltner said, referring to the Environmental Protection Agency. “But if you put it into food and can document it as recognized as safe by someone expert, you don’t have to tell the F.D.A.”

At times, I feel as if each time a little piece of me is dying when I see you.
There were a flurry of girls in MI.

It was quite the experience this time, I would not have made it unless for the encouragement of my mother (birth).

She danced, had a few conversations, and my little sister had some profound conversation emitting from the One.

Dheepu left early for a wedding.
He missed a considerable amount.
Devi Bhava went to oh about 9:30-10:00am
maybe around 1300~ folks.
I rushed at the end to speak to her again.
And said I will see your ponmukham( darling face) next year.
She asked if I would see chettan
( i had mentioned some things).

They are embroidered across my heart in blood.
Those moments that is.
The only wealth I possess.

18-Year-Old Sylvia Plath on Loving Everybody and Living with Curiosity

I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love’s not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person.* But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time…

In addition to being a social lubricant, humor relieves stress and increases mental flexibility and creativity, says Morreall.

I love a God so intensely, which you cannot see, how can you possibly understand

[Excerpted from Jiro dreams of sushi]

   Once you decide on your occupation
you must immerse yourself in your work
You have to fall in love with your work
Never complain about your job.
You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill.
That's the secrete of success
and is the key to being regarded honorably.
