To educate a girl is to educate a nation.

There are millions that do not go to school. That do not have any chance. So silly if you think about it - research proves each year spent in school represents less children, better prospects, better preparation to live and provide living for their children.

To educate a girl is to educate a nation.

Happy supporter of such an awesome project.

Come along!

Anne Frank reflection on giving flowers

"Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude".

It is a remark from a teenage and correct observation. Isn't it sad?

Thought of this at my grandma funeral - how came so many flowers lying around her at that moment and so little while she could have enjoyed them? Miss her and so much.

I wish gratitude would become stronger than regret.

How tempting is this ego that would trick us with something we already possess?

Must see. And again, and again.

Thank you, Jim!

What's the suffering "optimal point"?

Yes. Question is where is the turning point. One needs to suffer and endure but what is the "optimal point", as you can become mean and greedy or humble and compassion. Wish that we would all endure just the necessary to become aware and conscious of the others around us and to care for them.

There's no need to look back.

What is behind you is smaller than what's in front of you.

Don't know about you but if you need me, I'll be on the loving side of the world
