One more quote before the New Year :)
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Happy New Year!
“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
― Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul
― Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lost art
The art of dressing has been lost. Institutions such as GQ and Esquire have been fighting a good fight but it takes todays man to help move it along.
A few things that have been lost
The Fedora
The 3 Piece
cuff links
contrast
Remember, you are never overdressed.

Simpler times 2
I remember being a child, my biggest worries were how many days left until Friday.
Things were so much more wholesome. I wish i can be 9 years old again. :(

HMMMMMMMM!
HMMMMMMMM!
Simpler times
Ever wonder what life was like 100, 200, 500, 1000 years ago?
Was life simpler then? Sometimes I wonder how life would be without all of the technology we have today. The world must have been such a bigger place.
Imagine a world where traveling to a far away land was something dreams were made of. Leaving the safety of your ancestral homeland meant facing the unknown and risking death.
What happens to those that left and never returned? How were they honored? What became of their story? What became of their successes? Who will remember them?

Speed of Light
Is it possible that the speed of light has been broken?
If so, what does that mean? Time travel? worm holes? physics comes to a grinding halt?
The world of science and space will never be the same if this is true.

Benevolence
"When I was a kid... my father would sit by my bed every night before I went to sleep. And he would say to me: 'Percy, if you don't wake up tomorrow, if it turns out that today is your last day on earth, will you be proud of what you've done in this life? Because if you are not, you better start making good.'"
Many times I wonder, am I a star in the universe or the sun in a solar system?
As individuals, time is our only tool; how we use it determines how significant the ripples of our existence are felt.
My rhetorical question has had deep meaning to my spiritual being. It has not only helped provoke thought but answered my questions with more questions. Maybe the answer is a question!

Revolution in Yemen
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
I'm amazed at how the power of hope can push even the smallest of men to the brink.

To those who have sacrificed their lives for a more just nation, you will not be forgotten. Your sacrifice and story will live through the people you left behind. History only remembers those who had the rare insight to understand that oppression fuels free will. Treat each other as you treat a brother or sister and the power of humanity will always overcome greed and oppression.
