Whenever I read inspiring material, I often feel as though I am whisked to a different world, a world full of beauty of possibilities.

On Not Being Good Enough

Sometimes I feel that this whole life is a beauty pageant. You get evaluated from kindergarten until you graduate from college. Afterwards, you take a job where you get evaluated by your boss.

I Wish I Would Never Get Tired

Sometimes I wish I would never get tired. I wish sometimes I can just be awake and fresh all year long. There’s so much to write. There’s so much to see. There’s so much to think about and to ponder.

I would like to share a happy news with you. That happy news is that the path to inner peace is already so close. You don’t have to seek to it in a mountain top, extreme self-denial, or by conducting strict religious observance. It is in each and every one of us. So what is the way to peace,...

The Pinnacle of Knowledge

In life, sometimes we are not aware of the reasons for the choices we make. I am talking about our understanding of our lives, our chosen religions, and our ideals.

Security is an Illusion

Security, on any level, represents an illusion. None of the world leaders really know what is going to happen to the world. These issues range from global warming, the war, and the world’s economy.
