“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Steve Job

I heard loud, consistent thumping sounds on the window and when I could no longer ignore it, I had to have a look.

It was startling to find this fellow dangling on a rope, with pails and gallons and washing windows, 34 floors up in the air.

For several minutes, I watched as he worked efficiently and even carried on a conversation with his colleague who was a few feet away from him – unfortunately, I couldn’t get a photo of the second guy.

I was green around the gills just watching him and can never imagine what that must be like. Some jobs do require lots of gumption.

Street photo and people – Everyday beautiful people 81

“We are all first born humans until we allow the classifying terms of race, religion, politics and wealth to wield its divisive mechanisms of separation in our midst.” Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha

Street photos

I love this random photo I took on the street. Each person is getting on with his daily affair. Each person has his own story to tell.

Each person adds to the jigsaw of the tapestry that makes up humanity.

Learn – Every day beautiful people 79

“The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” Brian Herbert

Learning[1]

At whatever age we find ourselves, we must continue to learn. Growing older does not equate to not living life as full and as enriched as you possibly can as long as your faculties and health are still functioning, in other words, as long as you are alive.

Keep LEARNING!

Assumed conversation – Every day beautiful people 78

“A conversation is so much more than words: a conversation is eyes, smiles, the silences between the words.” Annika Thor

Can you tell a story from the picture?

Well, here’s my own narration. I enjoy having such little fun 🙂

The imagined conversation. Watch their hand movement:

1st photo – Man in white thobe: “Habib, you told me to go there and I did!

2nd photo – I saw nothing.

3rd photo – you misled me, why?

1st photo – Man in shorts kept quiet

2nd photo – still quiet but smiling.

3rd photo – my friend, I didn’t mislead you. I have no idea what happened there.

So, what do you see?

P.S: You can join our online party this weekend. It’s always a good time:-)

Movement of the people – Every day beautiful people 77

“Take action! An inch of movement will bring you closer to your goals than a mile of intention.” Dr. Steve Maraboli

“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.” Deepak Chopra

“The more I traveled, the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” Shirley Maclaine

‘One of the great things about travel is that you find out how many good, kind people there are.” Edith Wharton

I can’t say it enough, there’s nothing as interesting as observing people. You wonder who they are, where they are going, what’s their story etc.

In a microcosm such as the airport, the train, the buses, the malls, anywhere you can find a throng of people, it’s quite informative what you learn about someone just by looking.

Are they fussy, tantrum throwers, are the fidgety, composed, smiling, frowning?…. It’s a free movie!

The beautiful lady in the picture made a shopping experience wonderful. She was polite, engaging and very helpful despite all the questions I had to ask, she beamed with smiles all through.

I absolutely love this book of poems. My favorites are “Love Rations” (for those who love to give the silent treatment) and “Beggars Supper” (which definitely pulls at the heart strings). Two thumbs up!!

“If you’re making mistakes, it means you are out there doing something.” Neil Gaiman

Man_wearing_quote_shirt[1]

The words on his T-shirt caught my eyes. It’s a familiar quote which says:

“No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.” Tony Robbins

The key word is to keep moving even it if it’s in snail progress.
