But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. (Colossians 3:8)

Slow Me Down

Slow me down, Lord, I'm going too fast.

I can't see my brother when he's walking past.

I miss a lot of good things day by day;

I don't know a blessing when it comes my way.

Slow me down, Lord, I want to see

More of the things that are good for me.

A little less of me and a little more of you,

I want the heavenly atmosphere to trickle through.

Let me help a brother when the going is rough.

When folks work together life isn't so tough.

Slow me down, Lord, so I can talk

With some of your angels. Slow me down to a walk.

A Word

A careless word may kindle strife;
A cruel word may wreck a life.
A bitter word may hate instil;
A brutal word may smite and kill.

A gracious word may smooth the way;
A joyous word may light the day.
A timely word may lessen stress;
A loving word may heal and bless.

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." 
- Mother Teresa

Final Analysis by Blessed Mother Teresa

ThinKing

I must confess that I have difficulties in communicating my thoughts to a woman. In a conversation, I still struggle on knowing when and whether I should use the word "cost-effective" or "cheap," with a success rate of a meagre 40%. I always mean "cost-effective," but mistakenly say "cheap" not only because it saves on letters and is more concise but also because it's in accordance with the KISS (Keep it short and simple) principle (... 5-4-3-2-1 ... Hey, please stop thinking, I need your attention here.) in design engineering. I sometimes have to think like a woman only so that I am understood by a woman.

I must admit that thinking like a woman is difficult and exhausting.
Women are graceful, gentle, caring, loving, concerned, particular, patient, kind, and thoughtful.

I thought of thinking like a woman for a day. I fell ill the very next day. Experiments in Claylanguage do come at a price. I thought I should share...

Aim: To think like a woman in order to be understood by women.
Procedure: Think (like a woman).
Ethical considerations: None needed; none obtained. 
Result: Fell ill on post-thought day 1.
Conclusion: Further thinking is required to think whether to resume or stop thinking like a woman.

It's easy to know the sex of an author by his or her works.
However, you need to be man enough and ready to think like a WOMAN! 

World Environment Day

To hear the bumble bee say to me "Human, humble be!"
But I am only human, and I am humble.

To hear the potted plant say to me "Person, pride does not pay!" 

But I am one person, and I am not proud. 

To hear the blind bat say to me "Boy, you blinded too?"
But I am no longer a small boy, and I am a man not blind.

I am a humble insightful human person. 

The bee, plant, and bat took time to remind me 

To pause, reflect, and act on my environment today.

Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup of kindness yet,

For auld lang syne. 

And surely you’ll buy your pintcup!

And surely I’ll buy mine!

And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

We two have run about the slopes,

And picked the daisies fine;

But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,

Since auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the stream,

From morning sun till dine;

But seas between us broad have roared

Since auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand my trusty friend!

And give us a hand o’ thine!

And we’ll take a right good-will draught,

For auld lang syne.

Hymn to Love

LOVE is patient, 

            is kind. 

LOVE does not envy, 

            does not act wrongly, 

            is not inflated. 

LOVE is not ambitious, 

            does not seek for itself, 

            is not provoked to anger, 

            devises no evil. 

LOVE does not rejoice over iniquity, 

            but does rejoice in truth. 

LOVE suffers all, 

            believes all, 

            hopes all, 

            endures all. 

LOVE is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed. 

For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part. 

But when the PERFECT arrives, the imperfect passes away. 

1 Corinthians 13:4–10 

आप = You

“Aap” means “You” in Hindi—the widely spoken language in India.

This word is used instead of “Tum” when one wants to convey respect.

For example, one says “Tum” to a friend and “Aap” to a parent or teacher.

AAP also means “Adopt A Plant” in Claylanguage.

This abbreviation conveys respect for Mother Nature.

For example, one adopts a plant because they respect Mother Nature.

Therefore, try something new: Aap AAP

Because AAP is all about You = आप।
