"Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside."

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Then There Was Silence



The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

For the last couple weeks I’m been distracted having located a distant cousin which has forwarded me some family memoirs and manuscripts. They are well documented with letters and signed photographs of European royalty and business leaders. They describe personal experiences with heads of state and business negotiations throughout Europe, Middle East, Mediterranean and Africa. I have been consumed with researching the manuscripts some of which are 250 pages. I am considering writing a book on the subject. In the mean time I continue to post photographs. Click the sidebar to see the new photos.
