“May 4, 2006 Blog Entry #1 There once was a girl who took everything for granted.
 She had friends.
She had good friends—friends who saw her geeky exterior but loved her anyway, friends who had known her since before she knew herself. But she wanted more.
She had people who loved her. She had a huge house on a hill. A bedroom as big as a studio apartment. But she still wasn't satisfied. She moved to the ends of the earth … Long Island, New York. She thought it would be exciting. And for a little while it was. But she soon found that life in the “city” wasn’t everything she hoped for. Before long, all the shops and landmarks were meaningless, and she realized that all the parties in the world meant nothing—especially if she didn't have the people to share them with. She decided to make a distress call. She lined up coconuts. H–E–L–P She spent one and a half years on her “deserted island.” Then, a moving truck finally answered her call. But little did she know that she was returning to her home as a different person. She was returning with lessons of contentment that would stick with her forever. Lessons of gratitude, integrity, faith, and love. Exposure to things and ideas she would have never seen in Snellville, Georgia. How she could be and how her life could be… She drove back down only to find that she wasn't the only one who had changed.”

“Sometimes, in order to achieve our goals, we have to change ourselves. Sometimes we have to change ourselves just to survive. We might worry that we’re becoming an entirely different person. But this is often what’s required to move on to the place we want to be. If the goal is passion, the kind of passion that leads to love, you can pretty much guarantee that the journey is going to change you. But the one thing that never changes is the heart. And since the heart wants what the damn heart wants, be prepared to probably get the shit kicked out of you for a while to make it happen. But if you can hold tight and white-knuckle the turbulence, it’s usually a worthwhile trip. Because the destination is fucking fabulous.”

“در واقع چیزی که در اوایل قرن بیستم نظام چینی را شکست داد، همان طور که متفکران و سیاست مداران هم در آن اتفاق نظر دارند، نظامیان غربی نبود، بلکه علم آنها بود، چیزی که طرز تفکر کنفوسیوس به وضوح کم داشت. علم غربی بیش از همه به این دلیل تحسین می شد که کشتی های سخت و توپ های کارآمد می ساخت، در حالی که چینا ها هنوز برای جنگ روی دریا و خشکی به نیزه ها، شمشیرها، و حتی هنرهای رزمی تکیه کرده بودند. این نتیجه گیری به یک سری کاملا جدید از سیاست های آموزشی و اصلاحات سیاسی انجامید. دانشجویان چینی موج موج به غرب فرستاده می شدند تا علم و تکنولوژی بخوانند. به علاوه، بسیاری از رهبران و متفکران قدرت غرب را به نظام حکومتی مردم سالارانه ی بهترشان نسبت می دادند. چین، در کنار دیگر کشورهای آسیای شرقی که با همین مشکلات دست و پنجه نرم می کردند، با وجود وقفه ای که بلافاصله بعد از قدرت گرفتن کمونیست ها ایجاد شد، تلاش طولانی مدتی را جهت یادگیری از غرب شروع کرد، روندی که تا هنوز هم به نقطه ی اوج خودش نرسیده است، باید اعتراف کنم که من هم عنصر کوچکی بودم در این روند آموزش بین فرهنگی عظیم.”

“Yes, it is possible that we do not grow up, that even as we grow old, we remain the children we always were. We remember ourselves as we were then, and we feel ourselves to be the same. We made ourselves into what we are now then, and we remain what we were, in spite of the years. We do not change for ourselves. Time makes us grow old, but we do not change.”

“Is Chad your only child?" I asked, just as a way to prod him into speaking. "My only one, and I didn't even know he was in trouble, not until one of the gals in the office called me Saturday night. My own boy, and I didn't know. That's what that I-raq war did, turned him into a boy who couldn't call his old man when he was in trouble." "Would he have, before the war?" He nodded. "We used to talk every day, even when he was off at Grand Valley State. Even when he first deployed. But then the war got to him. The violence. He saw his whole unit die around him during his third deployment, and that did him in. It was like he blamed me, in a way." "Blamed you?" "I thought a lot about this," he said. "I think he felt I should have protected him. I was his dad, see, and he always, oh, looked up to me. At least when he was small. I worked construction my whole life, although I'm a project manager now, for Mercurio. I was stronger than most guys, and Chad, he thought I could always take care of trouble around him, or me, and I always thought so, too. Until he went off to I-raq, where no one could protect him. It's in my dreams all the time, that I should have saved him from seeing what he had to see. I couldn't save him, and he couldn't talk to me anymore.”

“You think your past defines you, and worse, you think that it is an unchangeable reality, when really, your perception of it changes as you do. Because experience is always multi-dimensional, there are a variety of memories, experiences, feelings, “gists” you can choose to recall…and what you choose is indicative of your present state of mind. So many people get caught up in allowing the past to define them or haunt them simply because they have not evolved to the place of seeing how the past did not prevent them from achieving the life they want, it facilitated it. This doesn’t mean to disregard or gloss over painful or traumatic events, but simply to be able to recall them with acceptance and to be able to place them in the storyline of your personal evolution.”

“Even a book with completely empty pages will change you because you will start thinking about the reason behind this emptiness and once you enter the thinking territory it means that you entered a territory of change!”

“The universe is changing, the universe is expanding. Everything is constantly changing. So when a human being remains unchanged, like a rock, clinging to what he or she is throughout an entire lifetime, it’s a tragedy. A human being has to be fluid, changing, expanding, developing, and at any given moment, has to ask, 'Why am I suffering? Why does this bother me? Why am I searching for something? Why do I hate such and such thing? Why can’t I forgive and why can’t I liberate myself from this?' All of my work is that, it’s the development of a character who slowly but surely expands, self-actualizes, and reaches a higher spiritual level. My characters obtain wisdom. To arrive at such wisdom is to arrive at the joy of living.”

“En voi muuttaa takaisin. Tiesin sen jo lähtiessäni. En siksi että olisin niemonomaan jättänyt jotain taakseni, vaan enemmänkin siksi että tein valinnan. Päätin lähteä tänne ja päätin jäädä vaikka erosimme, ja nämä kaksi valintaa estävät minua muuttamasta mieltäni. Takaisin palaaminen olisi mielensä muuttamista. Tarvitaisin syyn lähtämiseen, mutta en keksi sellaista, ja siksi jään tänne.”

“Kila mmoja wetu ana kitu cha kutoa. Wengine wana pesa, wengine wana vipaji, wengine wana muda. Vipaji vyote tulivyopewa na Mungu, vikubwa au vidogo, hatuna budi kuvitumia kiukarimu kwa watu wanaovihitaji. Tunapofanya hivyo tunaleta mabadiliko katika dunia kwa ajili ya watu fulani, na tunapata maana halisi ya maisha na toshelezo la moyo katika maisha yetu.”
