3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I was challenged yesterday by an online article about boring Facebook posts, which generally challenged my way of blogging. I concluded by-and-large that I was doing it right - somebody somewhere would be interested in what I have to say. I'd already decided that the biggest viewing figures wasn't the priority. With my greatest gift being teaching, online is a great place to express that gift, and that if it benefits just a handful, that would be enough to make it worthwhile.

8. TRIVIA
Many Indians find the idea of using toilet paper disgusting, and consider it cleaner to splash water with the left hand in the appropriate direction. Consequently, the left hand is considered unclean and is never used for eating. 

9. ZEN WISDOM
Each person possesses a precious inner treasure of infinite worth. To remain unaware of this and stumble about in spiritual poverty is a tragic waste.
