A Thousandth Opinion (by Albert Lim Kok Hoo)
published in Khaleej Times on Nov 11, 2009
I know a man who has seen a thousand doctors. Let us call him Thomas. He is 80 years old but even so, a thousand is a huge number. In a year, he would have seen 12 new doctors on the average. A thousand different doctors means perhaps 20,000 consultations. Sometimes Thomas sees three different doctors in one afternoon.
Some of Thomas's friends are doctors. Some of his doctors become his friends. His doctors range from the junior to the senior, from...

Demo Event with Vokle
Dear friends,
We are going to test a live chat where you can ask me questions and I will reply to those who got approved by Supi. We will start at 7:00 PM (Paris time) and end by 7:15 PM. For you who are online, it would be great to participate, but keep in mind that it is only a test (so I may start saying things like "it is working? etc.) But from the moment we can work with this tool, we can do fantastic things together.

A LIGHT IN WINTER by Eric G. Wilson
THIS IS AN EDITED VERSION.FULL ARTICLE IS PUBLISHED IN HERALD TRIBUNE (NOVEMBER 6, 2009)
On March 16, 2002, when daffodils were swaying in the slowly warming wind of a North Carolina spring, I found myself in a snug hospital room with my wife and just-born daughter, only hours old, and I thought of ice.
A poem called "Frost at Midnight," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, was on my mind. In this verse, written in 1798, Coleridge sits near his infant son, Hartley, on a winter night in England. He...
This Week : Why do we need to look younger?
There is nothing wrong with beauty, but, why do we need to look younger then we are? Botox, silicon, gyms… Gyms are ok if you want to make some exercices but… not to body building, and things that we see people spending hours just to pretend to be younger.
So, why do we always need to look younger then we are. Because we can be younger at heart and if you accept that, with age comes some changes or some things to our body, we are getting very happy, because we are getting older. But of...
Quote of the Week
We need to create a new revolution, and to do that, don't waste your life: stop pleasing people, and become who you always wanted to be.

Sunday reflexion: Ithaca by K. Kavafis
Ithaca is a greek island generally identified as the home of Odysseus, whose delayed return to the island is the subject of Homer's the Odyssey.
As you set out for Ithaca
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon - don't be afraid of them:
you' ll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
wild Poseidon - you ...
