#less

Now I can go back to being ruthless again. ↗

If to the viewer's eyes, my world appears less beautiful than his, I'm to be pitied and the viewer praised. ↗

I took group lessons at a rink near my home. We first had to learn how to stand up on the ice wearing skates. Eventually we learned to move forward, but soon found out that it was not that easy to stop! So that was our next important lesson. ↗

My parents never pressured me to skate. They always said I could quit if I wanted to. They only expected me to skate when they had already paid for the expensive lessons. But, otherwise they said I could do what I wanted to do. ↗

And I ask myself what it is about me that makes this wonderful, beautiful woman return. Is it because I'm pathetic, helpless in my current state, completely dependent on her? Or is it my sense of humour, my willingness to tease her, to joke my way into painful, secret places? Do I help her understand herself? Do I make her happy? Do I do something for her that her husband and son can't do? Has she fallen in love with me? As the days pass and I continue to heal, my body knitting itself back together, I begin to allow myself to think that she has. ↗

There exist limitless opportunities in every industry. Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier. ↗

Inventing is a combination of brains and materials. The more brains you use, the less material you need. ↗

Most men love money and security more, and creation and construction less, as they get older. ↗
