	<description>Browse the web. A vast endless resource. I come across articles and writings that inspire me. Excite me. Ignite the fire within. Arouse me. Amuse me. Thrill me. But most importantly of all teach me. Yup, knowledge is the take-away from the time I invest in browsing. A collection of articles and writing that have enriched my mind and touched my soul.</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.</p>
<p>As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as &#8220;Euro-English&#8221;.</p>
<p>In the first year, &#8220;s&#8221; will replace the soft &#8220;c&#8221;. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard &#8220;c&#8221; will be dropped in favour of &#8220;k&#8221;. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kanhave one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome &#8220;ph&#8221; will be replaced with &#8220;f&#8221;. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.</p>
<p><a id="more-45"></a></p>
<p>In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.</p>
<p>Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.</p>
<p>Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent &#8220;e&#8221; in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.</p>
<p>By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing &#8220;th&#8221; with &#8220;z&#8221; and &#8220;w&#8221; with &#8220;v&#8221;.</p>
<p>During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary &#8220;o&#8221; kan be dropd from vords kontaining &#8220;ou&#8221; and after zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.</p>
<p>Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.</p>
<p>Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.</p>
<p>If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This day is not happening to you.</p>
<p>It is happening through you.</p>
<p>The way you see the world does not merely affect what you think and feel about all that is going on.</p>
<p>The way you see the world determines how the world will be.</p>
<p><a id="more-44"></a></p>
<p>Your thoughts are not just momentary flashes that disappear once you are finished with them.</p>
<p>They are powerful forces that give energy and direction to life.</p>
<p>The events and situations that come your way are not just random occurrences.</p>
<p>There is a reason why you have put yourself in a position to experience them.</p>
<p>The things that are possible are the things that you imagine and expect to be possible.</p>
<p>Raise your imagination and your expectations to new levels, and the world follows right along.</p>
<p>This day is happening because you are here to live it.</p>
<p>Make it truly grand and exquisitely beautiful, just because you can.</p>
<p>&#8211; Ralph Marston</p>
<p>P.S: Thanks Conrad for sharing this&#8230;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best films this year - the story of Christopher Gardner is one that touches you @ a level so deep that you might not know existed.</p>
<p>Talking positive and living with a stong belief in yourself is one thing but believing despite everything, especially when everything around you is crumbling is an different matter all together. That&#8217;s what &#8220;The Pursuit of Happpyness&#8221; is all about.</p>
<p><a id="more-41"></a></p>
<p>However, sample this one monologue from the movies, and you shall know what I mean&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;And it was at that time that I thought about Thomas Jefferson writing that Declaration of Independence. Him saying that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I thought about how he knew to put the &#8216;pursuit&#8217; in there, like no one can actually have happiness. We can only pursue it.&#8221;</p>
