'Take the pace of a royal elephant and don't mind a few barking dogs alongside' I got this piece of advice from one of my mentors. That was a very powerful advice. How many people would you come across that takes serious interest in others' welfare.
When i probed him why he said what he said, he further advised. 'One of the wonders of the world is that obviously intelligent people make elementary but serious errors in thinking'. That was a bit confusing for me as he was talking about intelligent people and we were only two of us.
Whatever, it makes us feel good when we are cared for. Read this somewhere on bringing up children 'They may forget all you said. They will never forget how you made them feel'. How profound!

This one is quite a packed piece. I don't know how you manage such mentors in life (whilst you have written in one of your other pieces that you don't have a sponsor).
you have to be cautious in whatever you do. Should not be swayed by minor irritants. The temptation to lose control of your charted course will always be high. Do i need to tell that - you gave that perfect analysis of Math's chart!!
What you mention about children is quite true. I am off to Nepal this week - catch you later. Peace to you.
