Summary

This quote by Kahlil Gibran suggests that our work should be an expression of love. If we cannot approach our work with love and passion, but rather with dislike or apathy, it would be more meaningful for us to step away from it. Instead, we should find a role that brings us joy and fulfillment, even if it means seeking support from others. Gibran emphasizes the importance of finding purpose and aligning our actions with love, as this not only benefits our own well-being but also inspires and uplifts those around us.

If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.

I don't want to clip on the armour every morning. I've seen some politicians do this and they get a bit mangled and bitter. I just refuse to do that. I refuse to be angry or bitter or complain, and I remain open. I may sometimes be a bit too open but I'm not going to change that one bit.

I was in a karaoke video in 1991, for a song called 'Sukiyaki,' which is a very famous Japanese song, and I've actually heard from people that they've been in bars in Asia where they've seen me come up in the 'Sukiyaki' video that they play behind you. I'm in that. I'm in a karaoke video.

Watching the evening news in 2011 is a strange time-travel experience. 'The CBS Evening News,' 'ABC World News' and 'NBC Nightly News' haven't changed their style over the decades, still going for that old-fashioned mix of voice-of-authority pomp and feel-good fluff. The difference is that people aren't watching.
