West: personal success

    Confucianism: collective success

From the Diary of an Old Man


Neither to regret , blame nor complain

There's enough religiousness
in every act of genuine kindness

Myself I'll not pitch
beyond my limit

I don't need
to be admired
or praised
only to be respected

The weakest
         aren't powerless
         within them still
         there are latent resources
         that unyielding spirit
         that unbreakable will
         to unshackle all odds

        we are each a Herculean
        despite life's slings
        and every tribulation

        we'll forge a way
        out of the enclosing darkness
       and fearlessly proclaim:
       ' We are too large for brokenness !'

If Shakespeare
    had met Elvis Presley
    he would have been tempted
    to write rock-poetry-

   If Amadeus
  had met Elvis Presley
  he would have been persuaded
to compose rock--melodies--- too many!

   If Warren Buffet
  had met Elvis Presley
  he would have said:
'  Invest in my company!'

   If Elon Musk
had met Elvis Presley
  he would have induced him
  to sing the song: ' Tesla The All-Mighty!'
