| Remember your dreams and fight for them.
You must know what you want from life.
There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.
Never forget your Personal Legend.
Never forget your dreams.
Your silent heart will guide you.
Be silent now.
It is the possibility of a dream that makes life interesting.
You can choose between being a victim of destiny or an adventurer who is fighting for something important.
- Paulo Coelho
Aside: "The Way I See It" is a series of conversation starters on the side of takeaway paper Starbucks' cups. This cup struck me because I've read Coelho's book 'The Alchemist' and find his writing style and thoughts provoking.

| Interesting quote that caught my attention on the 'Lucky You' movie trailer...
"You know what I think? I think everyone is just trying not to be lonely."

| Lost. Confused. Disappointed.
I don't know when it happened precisely. The map stopped looking familiar. The destination became a memory instead of a location. The blurryness of fog settled in and we hunkered down for relief to come. But it didn't come.
What started as challenges to patience, devolved to questions of the very essence of life. Second-guessing of choices. Skepticism about purpose and destiny and future. Feelings of impotence in our ability to be causal agents. More mystery than understanding about the things outside this world.
What if this is all there is? Lost in a world without meaning, purpose or destiny. Violently beating and screaming to break through transparent walls only to find you haven't changed a thing. The world has continued wandering by.
I remember times of fury and passion. The feeling of fire inside over something you would give your life for. What good is a torch without a fire. A warrior without a batttle. A life without breath.
Oh for something outside of this skin that would make me feel the wind of destiny again...
breathe fire.

| Article: BBC, 16 Nov 2006, Doctor to pay for unwanted baby"A doctor who carried out a failed contraceptive operation has been ordered by a German court to pay financial support for the child." The article reports on a German court case recently reviewed by the highest judicial court in Germany. A Gynecologist has been ordered to pay $767 (600 euros/ £400) per month until the child reaches 18. The doctor was found liable for providing contraception that did not prevent pregnancy.
The couple is no longer together. The father who has been paying maintenance (child support) will be compensated by the doctor for the money he has already provided.
Doctors in Germany are understandably nervous. The logic confounds me but I guess the USA is not the only litigious society!

| Article: BBC South Asia, 16 Nov 2006, 'Mad' Indian Man's Life In Chains"A 56-year-old man in the eastern Indian state of Orissa has spent 26 years in chains because his family and doctors say he is mad and a danger to others." The article highlights a man in India who is chained because of psychiatric conditions. The family has sold all of their family land and property to pay for treatment. Yet the condition worsens and the family is without hope for him to improve."When the money ran out, treatment was abandoned and he remained in chains to protect others, they say." Oh that the Man of Peace would walk through the alleys of that village and bring healing and wholeness to this man and his family.
