One day! One day! How many times has one heard one saying just so?

It needs not to be one day as it would be as well to enquire when. Nevertheless, I am well past forty now and I find the young ones often impatient of the old ones but ideas and debates make the world go round and it is good to talk. In fact, politicians do it for a living and therefore I cannot see a reason for not getting passionate about a particular subject and tell the world about it. This cause me no difficulty at all, regardless of other duties, as I could spend hours talking away about anything at all. Certainly, I like nothing more than being intoxicated by thoughts and words as I believe that the world expects one to have a view of matters that concern its plight, sure enough, I find it hard not to. Indeed, any fool can organise a revolution but one has to know a lot and work hard to orchestrate one. Having said that no one on the subject of revolution can nourish such a hope in the United Kingdom, that is, not even the leaders of thought can conjure up one by thoughts alone. Therefore, one can be relied on to steer confidently away from such a course of action. Quick and superficial is the original thought of an interesting idea but it surprises me the number of people who fall short of the mark in terms of making it real. Perchance, they get tired of pursuing a dream that might just be so a dream. I think there is a trouble when the spiritual quest of a person meets the reality of pursuing the material objectives of a dream and, especially, when simple answers to simple questions become unanswerable questions to that dream and so the dreamer gives up. Indeed, I don't claim that I have all the answer but it is advisable to follow your dreams till the pursuing object becomes an unobtainable one. Self-respect is also very important but one ought to fight one's battles wisely; embarrassed by a difficult audience one must never be, determination to succeed is a light that never fails to shine when desire is holding the candle and if one does all that one ought to be doing it is guaranteed that one will succeed. Having said that it is always a good thing to keep in mind that anything always can happen in one's life but in the end the winner takes it all.
