P.S.
A dying to want to live always and let nothing gets in the way comes what may; the doldrums, the near bankruptcy and of hard-knock business lessons but still hanging on trying hard for a comeback to the mainstream on a shoe-string budget in the last decade. The fighting spirit to press on for the 5 fold blessings of CARES (Charity, Assurance, Rewards, Enrichment & Security) I have hope to bring about in my lifetime. By ‘being of the ONLY (One Not Like You)’ indeed & to ‘be of the ONLY (One Not Like Yours)’ instead that which really matter most to most in me making the utmost difference.
‘If a picture paints a thousand words, what with words I can paint you a thousand pictures, no kidding.’
“So do not ask what more I can do rather what else I cannot do that’s humanly ‘plausible’ – likely, believable, cogent, convincing, reasonable, feasible, credible, creditable, tenable, conceivable, thinkable, probable, imaginable, possible, admissible, compelling, sound, rational, logical, acceptable…”
