On "advantage of poverty"

The advantage of growing up in poverty is that it gives a person an extra edge in later life, brings resilience, and keeps a lot of burdens off in making calculative decisions.

On "rudeness"

If you are not pleasant it's ok - but it puts an extra burden on you to be good in your work.

Childhood

Saw this picture somewhere on net and it just struck my nerve. I recalled my own childhood: those streets, walls, gutter, friends.

Ye Daulat Bhi Le Lo, Ye Shohrat Bhi Le Lo

No one is INDISPENSABLE

 "Listen, my friend: this is a myth that someone is INDISPENSABLE. People replace people. The new person might not be as suitable as you, but he may get better than you over time, and people will forget about you."

Police: 7-year-old at wheel after hit-and-run

Sunday, December 11, 2005; Posted: 7:11 a.m. EST (12:11 GMT)

FLEMINGSBURG, Kentucky (AP) -- Police got a surprise when they stopped a van following a hit-and-run crash on Kentucky's Mountain Parkway: A 7-year-old boy was at the wheel, sitting on his father's lap. When police caught up with the van on Interstate 64, Waters was working the foot pedals and his son Cody was on his lap steering, Clark County Sheriff's Deputy Ricky Estes said. He described Waters as "semiconscious."
"He said he was en route to Florida, and his son was going to get him there," Estes said. Waters' 3-year-old son was also in the van, Estes said. He said it appeared Waters had been living out of the vehicle.
The children were taken by social services. Waters, meanwhile, faces several charges, including resisting arrest, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, leaving the scene of an accident and driving under the influence.
