Igniting greatness in myself and others... Pressing PLAY...Imaginary friends and people and transplanting all that into my REAL life, the one where I INSPIRE others to ENJOY THEMSELVES... to grow
If innovations and ideas cost nothing... making the move to feel inspired to contribute should not be taxing... when you share the discipline to imagine, educate, empower, trust and understand come at even a lesser cost than consequence because the only consequence will be MORE OF EVERYTHING...
Imagination, inspiration, innovation, finding new alternatives... if not new, explored and failed alternatives that when tweaked they can become explosive and exhilarating... blurring boundaries
Writing, thinking and dreaming... I dream while wide away and die temporarily when I am fast asleep... I think in words, colour and animated actions in my mind... not everything has to be SERIOUS...
Clifford Stoll captivates his audience with a wildly energetic sprinkling of anecdotes, observations, asides - this man really got me energised and excited after looming in a state of daze for weeks not knowing which way to go... since then... it's been MASSIVE... the IMAGINATION

A comment on Conversation: Our parents took care of us when we were kids. Why the grown-up kids don't take care of the parents?[not everyone;especially after marriage]
Depending on the background one comes from... it is considered an honour in my family specifically to care for the elders whether they need the help or not, it is a sign of gratitude for having been cared for by them.
Caring financially is one of the biggest way after taking them into your home when they cannot care for themselves anymore...
Tip to the kids - remember the love you received
Tip to the parents - Your children do not owe you anything, they care for you because they care
Handling tough situations - you can be tough without being hurtful, lay the law, be generous
Drawing the line - DEFINITELY... this is your home, your rules, by your design... NEVER let your parents take over your home UNLESS you want to be the child all over again!
