-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As we draw closer
to the end of the year,
let's use our time wisely
and effectively to clean up
and sort things out
so that we can conclude the year
in well-ordered value-creating
surroundings.
Let's welcome the new year in
Let's welcome the new year in
with a refreshed and
ready-to-go spirit!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
" The human mind and spirit are crucial. Everything depends on where their focus is directed. As science advances, those of us who make use of science and it's applications must grow and develop as well. We must develop mentally and spiritually and cultivate our humanity. Otherwise, as the 20th century taught us, cooperation can quickly turn to exclusion and creation can easily turn to destruction.
"There is a pressing need for a philosophy to orient and direct the power of science towards the goal of promoting human happiness."
