CHESS

2.Sometimes we have to back off in life for progress.
3.Respect everyone. Nobody is small.
4.Sometimes we have to sacrifice our desire for our dreams.
TYPEWRITER (Italian Typewriter)
1.You have to do things very diligently in life because you cannot erase.
2.You need to know what you are doing unless things would go wrong and you will not be able to erase it.
CAMERA
It did not work
His camera could not click pics but looking from it was a blissful experience as he could see beautiful pictures of the outside world but without clicking it.
He learnt from it that sometimes things does not always have to be functional to fulfil a need that sometimes when the things are broken, the greatest creativity emanates from their fragments. The creativity is a process of soul, it does not need an outcome or a product for a world to accept. It need only the truth of its own expression.
Creativity comes from within and makes up your world, whatever you wish it to make. So don't be afraid of your own creativity, honor it.
1. Don't think about others opinions.
2. Is is not necessary that what you are seeing others are also seeing.
SENSE OF HUMOR
Always keep a sense of humor in life to overcome difficult situations. Without the sense of humor, the world would become a dull and dreary place. No darkness or despair should ever be beyond a good and hearty laugh. Cultivate it and all it to lighten every heavy moment. It is like a talisman to survive. He said "humor is actually the deftness to see the world, the reality, for the transient farce it really is." wear it like a vulgar tattoo if you don't really have one. Never loose this gift in the turbulently beautiful seas in life. Its your ticket to stay young and childlike forever.
GIFT OF LIFE
Always treat life like gift. It is the most beautiful and exquisite gift he ever received. This life is a gift, he realized the day he was 15 and his father died. He adds "A gift your parents have given to you already, the single exquisite gift you and I have is the gift of life itself".
There is nothing that marks a man and a woman out from the ordinary more perfectly than grace. grace is the consciousness that life is bigger than we are therefore our gratitude must match its vastness. It is the understanding that everyone we encounter whether they are loving towards us or offensively abrasive is a human like we are. Experiences shape human beings and no matter how good we are at something or how successful we may become we are never better than the other person.
Always keep grace.
