“You cannot stay on the summit forever. You have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.”
Rene Daumel
"Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the roads."
- Andre Breton

YES WE CAN!
That's the slogan the new president of the United States of America gave us. I didn’t feel THAT excited as a lot of people did when the election result came out last night. Actually, I was a bit surprised of the big sweep by Obama, I expected a much closer race. Obviously, John McCain was victimized by the Bush administration of his own party, and his campaign partner Sarah Palin was over-unfairly treated by the propaganda. Even so, McCain showed tremendous class in his conceding speech. As a person who fought for his country throughout his life with heart and soul, he deserves all the respect. I personally think his best moment in this failed campaign was this quote he said in the last presidential debate: “Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago." -- His best moment in his campaign.” On the other hand, Barack Obama’s victory was certainly historical. What he demonstrated in his acceptance speech was a humble man who does not promise as most politicians do but has the determination to do whatever he can to make a change. Change is never easy, especially when the role model on the top of the pyramid need to influence the mass foundation of the society -- the PEOPLE. But I look forward to that, because a better America means a better part of the world.
