I've been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I'd have.

I am different when my nails are done. I am more dynamic. I gesticulate more, I am better at scaring my staff. I can indicate impatience by drumming on tabletops and I can wrap up a meeting with a few choice clatters.

So I'm back again to the eternal question, the one that has plagued me all my life: How Do Other People Do It? How come they were given life's rule book and I missed out? Where was I when God was dispensing capability and cop on? Looking at shoes, probably.

How to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans.

Love and kindness go hand in hand.

As you know, I don't believe in fear, just an invention by men so they get all the money and good jobs.

The old Chinese proverb springs to mind - No pain, no gain.
