"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about."
- Einstein
Today I found this Einstein quote in the page of a great programmer, mister Paul Graham, and I posted it here because I felt a little “enthusiastic” about it and a little “enthusiastic” about posting something in this lately somehow abandoned blog, and yes! because I agree that either wealth nor sumptuousness nor idleness move a soul or the world, but exactly the feeling of fervor, passion, or gusto we feel towards something or not…
Therefore, the pursuit of art, of knowledge, a lifetime of not-yet-acquired-enlightenment-chasing...

Today with an Einstein quote and while reading mister Paul Graham, the little creative worm in my head had sprung again, after this long beloved vacation, I am getting ready to learn again, and to read, and to be enthusiastic about those little things you can't buy nor share, the drive to take a picture, or write a sentence, or compose a tune, those desires are intimately shaped in the intimacy of one's own soul
and so they are these

What do you mean exactly about the little worm?
Hope, he's still slurping the mescal... :)
Big hug and cheers to you!!!
Hallo Berenice,
Yes quite right, remain curious, enthousiastic but stay poor (if you can).
Nevertheless, if it ever happened to you to wear shoes one number too small you might well appreciate some modest comfort.
As to Albert Einstein, I don't know about his shoes but it is an established fact that he never used stockings or socks.
Some German for you:
Wer nie sein Brot im Bett gegessen
weiss nicht wie die Krümel pieken.
Georg
