It gets more succinct.

It accommodates the “lingo” of the new generation.

It includes the language of new technologies.

Those things are just between my pillows and me.

Silly!

“Life is an economist that requires trade-offs;

ever requiring us to give up something for the sake of another;

ever demanding us to consider the costs and benefits of the choices we make;

ever instilling rationality;

ever imposing equality;

ever upholding standards;

ever securing purpose.

A diehard crusader of meaning, . . .

always rallying for vision;

always arguing for continuum;

always vigilant of opportunities;

always passionate in resolving scarcity of ways and means. . . .

ultimately ensuring we are giving our best;

our very all

to our endeavors;

to our aspirations;

to our hope and dreams;

even to friendship and love

we build and keep.”

I love to hear patients beating cancers, Lou Gehrig disease (ALS), and all others.

I am excited to see a smarter generation given the tools available for them.

But to be clear, when we speak of future, it results to excitement not unless one’s a cynic or a pessimist.

The most dispensable of them all.

. . . every weekend is a memorable vacation.

White sand beaches,

Weather that’s better than summer,

People who are warm and welcoming—

Aloha is real—

Plus the spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean,

And comforting foods from very diversed cultures—

There’s nothing like it in the world.

Just in Waikiki alone,

There’s a vibe that you won’t feel

From anywhere.

I’ve been to four states,

But truly, none can compare

To this paradise

I call home.
