Man's greatness is not in never falling but rising every-time he falls

The Joy of Giving


Yes,  i am borrowing that phrase from a  legend.  Imitation is the best form of admiration. One of my bosses used to say 'we should give back to market what it gives us - liquidity'. Great thought.  I have always yearned to spend life in backward areas, teaching children. My present responsibility of having to support a few lives around me and the wafer thin bank balance are big deterrents. So what... I have someone with me who does this work with passion. Yet to get full-time into this, her sporadic effort is indeed something that i would want to emulate. 

Even if one of the above becomes educated, the mission is a success.


On a related note, i found this piece about education absolutely brilliant - again from my book and quite likely a straight lift.

Education is a companion
No misfortune can depress
No clime can destroy
No enemy alienate
No despotism enslave
At home, a friend
Abroad, an introduction
In society, an ornament
And in solitude, a solace...

How true
