Relax.

[writeright]

I come from a village where there are still green trees, rainbow and dew drop on the grass blade.

Oh! Now, I live in a concrete forest punctuated with fuel smoke and friends who live in computers. I don't have time.

A prisoner gets two hours of sunlight if i am right, but I go out to buy some new gadget or chip to work two hours more.

My grandparents worked hard for a few hours, sat on the sand and told stories. I guess, everyone will have at least one good ol' man narrated story that you would remember.

They had time even though they worked hard. They were the best copywriters, really!

Go smell some flowers... Copies are not from the books. Don't believe me?

There was a guy who sat down by the roots of a tree and closed his eyes.

He wrote something that people follow even now.

Relax. Live. Write.

Cheers!

Hi,

One way I enjoy that helps me write in words that your prospects understand is... go to a restaurant. Get whatever you enjoy/can afford.

Then sit silent and listen. Really take in what the surrounding customers are talking about. How do they express themselves? What words? What topics are they worried about?

How do the little old men/ladies say things? Compare them with the words twenty-something folks use.

Fascinating stuff! Lots of fun to people-watch and people-listen!

True. Nothing helps like observing. I've noticed the quirky mannerisms, hypocrisy, genuine kindness, selfless gesture and a murder of conscience happen when I go for a 10 min walk - the characters you meet on the streets and the reflection you see on the store's glass... hmm...

You are the one.

Thank you for the beautiful reminder that peace and happiness are available for us in every moment... and oh so picturesque!

I found a biography that said that Gautama as a child felt peaceful sitting under that particular tree. He had tried everything that other people told him should be his path, and it almost killed him to go from one extreme to another. He was very dissatisfied! He knew he didn't know the answers, but he figured he might as well at least enjoy that peaceful place again. And this is why he sat down at that tree. I don't know if that's an accurate biography. But if not, at least it's a delightful metaphor, isn't it?

Delightful it is Amid terrorist acts, recession and internet marketing... a moment with nature will beat hands down an hour session on the couch with a shrink!

Though my avatar may suggest otherwise I ain't a Buddhist neither I'm a believer for that matter. When I was searching for a picture to represent my state of mind for the avatar, I stopped at this one. The serenity and the man under that tree is not an enlightened man already, but one seeking enlightenment. I could relate
