5 Dec O9_Thoughts of the week

un autre jour.

Actions should be matched with words. There are too many of those high soundings and unheard of words, but there are very few actions that go along with them


The most and greater parts of the information that I seek is obtained by looking up in areas for something and finding something else on the way


There is this old maxim - Early to bed and early to rise : it’s a bad idea.. You will never be able to meet the well known, important and powerful people of our society.


Everyone has a principle. Everyone fights hard to establish their principles. But I find it difficult to see people living up to them.


The older you get, the more worried you become about what’s going to happen to your next generation. My father used to worry about my generation. Well, I grew up and became old. Now I worry about the next generation. I am sure my son would too grow up and start worrying about the next generation.


Have you ever wondered what do you do with those great problem solvers after the problem is solved? Do they create further problems for themselves to solve?


I have often heard the maxim : Health is wealth. Right and agreed. But before health comes wealth. When you are young and romanticize life you need money to move on with your life. After you acquire your wealth it becomes more appropriate to believe that health is really wealth. For what use would your wealth be if you don’t have the health to enjoy it? Wealth is not what you have – but what and how you enjoy.


Its good to talk to a person eye to eye. But how the hell do you talk to a person eye to eye when you are looking up at him? Or for that matter you are looking down on him?


How do you judge a man? Do you really need to judge a man? Why do you judge a man? Someone the other day was saying that one should judge a man by the company he keeps. Judge him by the friends he has. Well - you can also judge a man by the reputation of his enemies. Nevertheless its very inappropriate and dangerous to judge a man. He is very unpredictable and impulsive. And by what right do you judge a man?


The rich are never racist. It is the turf of the poor. Racism to the poor is but another form of snobbery. The rich have different ways to showcase their poverty.


Whenever you can – get away from the mass. Keep yourself to yourself.


The majority of mankind spends most parts of their lives working hard to make the remaining parts of their life unhappy. Man’s life can be divided into three events. His birth, his life and his death. Everything happens during these event. No more – no less. When he is born, he is not even conscious of his birth. When he dies, he dies in pain, misery, despair and anguish. But his birth and death are of short duration. In between he exists and he forgets to live.

à bientôt!
