SURE, WE ALL HEAR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING!


Work harder!  
       Work smarter!               Work longer!
...and, last but not least, "Work more creatively" !!!



Yet, mental resilience is so very crucial...

The 5 essential ingredients, as identified by M. Seligman, are:

·    positivity
·    a healthy lifestyle
·    meaningful work
·    upbeat social interactions

·    having a higher order purpose

CURB ALL APPLAUSE, if you will


NO HAIL TO THE HAIL!
                                                      -- poem by L.P.-G.




Good riddance

'Hale and hearty'
For what you
Brought to bay

You just pretended
'Lack of harm',
Yet HAIL
Arrived today!


Those tiny pebbles
Ran their course
While clustered in a bunch...


The words of Eliot's poem
Ring true; ... (that is),
April's a very
Cruel month !!

RAIN LOVES APRIL, and vice versa

April Rain Song
- Poem by Langston Hughes


Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby...
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
(And, I love the rain).

"FOOL ME NEVER" will always stay best!


FOOLS

They'll 'always be with us',
Much like the poor;
Born of imprudence
And con-man's liqueur.

They think themselves 'wise',
Yet the angels know better;
Tread, as they do, from
These idiots' fetters.


Today is THEIR day,
Say both mountains and moors;
Though, lacking in brains,
[Is 'no sense', de rigueur???]

 Poem written by L.P.-G.
