Some would be receptive to sage wisdom,others pretend to listen. Everyone is different for his/her perception and reception. Knowledge is intellectual clout. Brainpower would influence future generations in the academia. Adaptability should be the hallmark in this mundane world, even though we see the inequities due to human frailties. However,if we elevate our mindset to a sublime level with intellectual conviction,we would be getting economic utility as our joy in life. Money and fame come and go but our good legacy will remain forever in the minds of thinkers. Gaining knowledge by leaps and bounds with our faith for spiritual happiness apropos of eventual eternity. John Steinbeck once stated "ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon, you have dozen." I would add ideals in the minds of thoughtful folks to be intellectually satisfied with our ultimate goal for meaningful lives as our contribution to our society within our lifespan. We strive to be magnet with magnate. Aim higher than we reach our desired destination. Our verbal and writing skills would translate and transliterate whatever languages,English or Chinese with proper culture,American or Chinese in the name of humanity in the 21st century.
