Don’t ask yourself what the world needs;

is people who have come alive.
I've found the perfect blog:
And it’s filled with cute animals. You can’t not smile. Or you have no soul.

for all of the burgeoning economists:
Say happy valentine’s day the right way! Or tweet about it the right way.
Presenting yourself to others the way you see yourself is impossible. I’d imagine one of the main goals of each person’s life is to get the image of his or herself, and everyone else’s image of his or herself, to match up. Not even perfectly, not even closely, just remotely.

If we have our own why in life, we shall get along...
