Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Mary E. Frye
A friend is saying that;
“kids are not painting books, you can’t paint them as you like”
We as parents are no more than roots…
Your kid is neither reproduction of yourself nor recovery for your previous disappointments. Let her to be as she wants, while she will be herself anyway…
A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.
Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality.
All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one characteristic we must possess if we are to face the future as finishers.
All this worldly wisdom was once the heresy of some wise man.
Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
As for doing good; that is one of the professions which is full.
Be not simply good – be good for something.
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.
As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends… Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
Do what nobody else can do for you. Omit to do anything else.

Everybody loves sunset, but it takes couple of minutes before Sun finally disappear. I was thinking today. Because there is no actual sunset but actually it is spinning of the World, than we can follow sunsets in different countries that have different time zones.
So what if we get people video the sunset in their own countries and broadcast online simultaneously from the website we will set-up for this purpose. We will add one video to another as the Sun goes down until we will have 1 HOUR constant SUNSET !!
Three minutes duration of sunset videos will require 20 countries in sequence to make this happen. 20 country is nothing to internet 
Imagine 1 HOUR SUNSET . . . Imagine WORLD join TOGETHER in the sunset . . . Imagine YOU are PART of it . . .
Please add your comment and feedback. My idea is so fresh, yet crude. But non of them can drop my level of excitement about this
Many thanks

Imagine tomorrow they will hang you, this is your last day of your life…
Imagine it intensely! Fight with the idea, you want to live forever, it should not end tomorrow neither for another 100 years!
Now start writing, what would you change in your life going backwards? Do you realize how little things come to your perception and your appreciation increases rapidly? Good! Now stand up, look around, feel total control on your life, and make those changes because I might be right, really this would be your last day!!
