"Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it's to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You'll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you're doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you'll hear about them." — Bill Watterson.

One year old baby boy Richard V Krokos at his home in Chiang Mai Thailand. 122 best pictures taken between January and March 2008 being played as a photo slideshow with children music in a background. WHY GOD MADE LITTLE BOYS :: God made a world out of His dreams of magic mountains, oceans and streams. Prairies and plains and wooded land, then paused and thought "I need someone to stand on top of the mountains, to conquer the sea, explore the plains and climb the trees, someone to start out small and grow sturdy, strong like a tree" and so He created boys, full of spirit and fun to explore and conquer, to romp and run with dirty faces, banged up chins, with courageous hears and boyish grins. When He had completed the task He'd begun, He'd surely said, "That's a job well done". THAI CULTURE :: Like most Asian cultures, respect towards ancestors is an essential part of Thai spiritual practice. Thais have a strong sense of hospitality and generosity, but also a strong sense of social hierarchy. Seniority is an important concept in Thai culture. Elders have by tradition ruled in family decisions or ceremonies. The traditional Thai greeting, the wai, is generally offered first by the youngest of the two people meeting, with their hands pressed together, fingertips pointing upwards as the head is bowed to touch their face to the hands, usually coinciding with the spoken word "Sawat-dii khrap" for male speakers, and "Sawat-dii ka" for females. The elder then is to respond afterwards in the same way. Social status and position, such as in government, will also have an influence on who performs the wai first. For example, although one may be considerably older than a provincial governor, when meeting it is usually the visitor who pays respect first. When children leave to go to school, they are taught to wai to their parents to represent their respect for them. They do the same when they come back. The wai is a sign of respect and reverence for another, similar to the namaste greeting of India. QUOTES OF THE DAY :: There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience (Anatole Broyard); I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves (Anna Quindlen); Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them (Antoine de Saint-Exupery); Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home (Bill Cosby); People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children (Bill Watterson); If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm (Bruce Barton); The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children (Clarence Darrow)
