The part of my life...This part right here. That's called Happiness (on 15/35th Anniversary of FR)

Thanks to Evelyn Tan of Manila, Philippines for above exhibit.

Story Line: The part of my life...This part right here. That's called Happiness.

 

Reflection: Friday Reflections began in August 1985 as stories I would tell our children during Friday evening drives after hectic work weeks at start up company, Altera. On August 5, 2005 Friday Reflections had its debut on intenet (emails) as weekly articles for my Out of Box Thinking class students and friends at Intel. In 2007 they went on WWW (courtsey of Neil Simpson and Analisa Hightower). Since then people from 189 countries have visited FR site with many giving valuable feedback. Each person and encounter has given me new experiences. From your feedback and encouragment I have learnt and grown. Thank You very much and Love from the bottom of my heart. 

 

In these stressful and challenging times for the people around the world, I would like to end with the following image and past reflection.

Absolutely Anand. The truth for me is that the pandemic has taught me what really matters. It is to have good health and loving family around us. Everything else is a bonus which we did not create by our own. I have been doing my own search of source of discomfort and what I find is that when I provided "resistance" to reality, discomfort crept in. Congrats on an important milestone. Our interaction also started through Friday Reflection 14 years back. I still remember that you kept my note that i had sent a year back about the fact that you are finding time to share your wisdom

Congratulations Anand and to everyone who has contributed to make FR such a brilliant read every week. It certainly has enriched our lives with your experiences you have shared over the years. We have learned so much too. Look forward to many more and bless you too from the bottom of my heart.

I liked it... I just want to be happy without any reason... just like smiling without any reason that people thought I'm crazy...oh well...

Happy Friday
