Some Thoughts on What Works

Aphorisms

On Family

 

Families are fantastic for nurturing the child … and cultivating the early … passions and affirmation … of what's norm. At adolescence … the child is looking out … and extending his experience of family … to the world. Thereafter … he is pursuing a love interest … with someone … a professional interest … with regards to career … and a sense of belonging … by his contributions. Beyond that … its a universe of possibilities … created when you were born.

 

 

Sharing the Bread

 

There are few things in life … that makes everyone feel the same … like a common meal. Its an experience of togetherness … stimulated with flavors … and it shares the enthusiasm … of wonder … in a common physical experience. It makes a person accept the bond of relations.

 

 

Something New

 

We all need something new from time to time … as a fulfillment of hope … and a satisfaction regarding possibilities. It raises our belief … and persuades us that … there's always something … we yet know little about … that might make a world of a difference. We hope to be surprised. We would like to believe its true.

 

 

The Impossible

 

There's no such thing as impossible. If we can think it … we can achieve it. The capability of the human mind to apply itself to issues is enormous. It works to bring together … our dreams … imagination … perceptions … feelings … knowledge … and our will … to do the right thing. If you find yourself … up against a wall … simply turn around and walk the other way. That is then the right direction.

 

 

Our Heritage

 

I've not had a single reason to doubt what was taught to me by my father … mother … and my teachers. As it turned out … its all entirely true. I simply wasn't listening to them … when they were talking to me.

 

 

Sexual Awareness

 

I never thought much of my prick when young. I had the impression it was this filthy thing … that was my constant shame and humiliation. Then I got married … and realized that its what bonds relations. Then I met this tall beautiful lady … and I figured its the ambrosia of the Gods. Then … when my wife left me … it was the horns of the devil … was dragging me to purgatory. But now that … I'm healing from past excesses … its my wand to a world of magic … I never knew existed.

 

 

Social Concerns

 

Good manners … politeness … and a little kindness … will never go out of style. It makes for a great contact with people … and persuades us that … we are okay. Its the style of the past … the present and the future. Its the living … in the experience of life.

 

 

Goodness

 

Goodness does not exist by itself … like a product of nature … or a gift from heaven. Goodness exist because … people stand up for the right thing … voice their concerns … and are prepared to defend what is right. It doesn't exist otherwise.

 

 

Neighbors

 

We share with our neighbors … the same view of the world … as the physical environment … around us. Its the one vision … in which we live … shop … eat … play and work in. It wouldn't therefore  be so untrue for a man to say … ' I am the neighborhood.'

 

 

Work

 

The greatest invention by God. It makes me get up and go … it helps me get along with people … it makes me contribute … its my achievement … and it teaches me when I don't know. Then it pays me for my service. It knows me.

 

 

The Genders

 

A man may think himself smart … but its the woman who teaches him how to enjoy it. And that is the wonder and treachery of creation.

 

 

The Narcissus

 

When I couldn't tolerate him anymore … I gave everything away to him … and stayed in isolation. He told me later that … covetousness …  is the greatest nightmare. That's why he had given it away … knowing that I'll return it to him with a time sharing plan. He's not so good with clocks.

 

 

Word of Mouth

 

A thousand hours of advertising … creates product loyalty … for a bunch of years. A word of mouth … lasts a lifetime.
