Thoughts to motivate self

When I read Chirs Sacca saying: “Everything good in my life has come immediately following a period of anxiety, intensity, uncertainty and commitment.” Don’t stop believin’. I couldn't stop myself writing this. It is true, ain't it? in everybody's case probably, when you start you are full with energy, that intensity later on moves to state of uncertainty and anxiety, but if you loose the commitment all is waste. I think key is to keep a commitment to the goals, unbroken, unshaken. Pursue the goal with no look backs what so ever. I know it is hard but at least we can give it a good try!

Textbooks: Dictating your future

Textbooks of a school, a state, or a country reflects, how it is going to shape up itself in future. Textbooks are something available to most of the people of a country at a rate they can afford. Taking this to their advantage, government has made it their Facebook, they could publish or hide whatever they want. Removal of Tienanmen Square massacre from Chinese Textbooks, Thomas Jefferson from US, subtle parts of history in India, and Portraying Palestinians as only some kind of peasants in Israel are a few examples of this kind. Do we the People, don't have any rights to know the truth about the history? Is government so free to erase past, change the present and shape the future they ways it suits to them? Are we still living the era describe by George Orwell in "1984"? I really love the last quote made by economist in an article related to textbooks: "A trip to Wikipedia by way of a smartphone will not necessarily let children work their way out of such dichotomies. But it will help." Hope we won't do something that we deem necessary to hide from our progeny.
