► 13 Fenruary 2014 : Try not to feel bad about going through the motions -- it's one of those days when your routines are the best way to get through the slog. You may need to focus on the small stuff so you can have big adventures later. Skip the small talk today -- it's better suited for people who don't have anywhere near the charm, wit and curiosity that you have. As early on as possible, today, you need to get to sharing what's on your mind and finding out what other people have to say about their lives. The exchange of ideas is going to take little if any effort, so it can be an easy day full of smiles and interesting conversations. Why waste it being safe when you can be titillated?
► 14 February 2014 : When you see something that confuses you today, you need to understand that it's a clear sign that you're on the right track! And don't wait for others to heap praise on you, you are going to need to do it yourself! The challenges you have overcome would make anyone else shake with fear, and others could be a bit resentful that you have done what they couldn't. Don't hold it against your friends or coworkers if they can't bring themselves to congratulate you.
► 15 February 2014 : Your basic responsibilities should be your highest priority today, even if they bore you to tears. They're still important, and you've got plenty of motivation. The fun starts soon -- promise!

► EDUCATION : Documentary on the life of Jean Paul Sartre : The Road to Freedom. Human, All Too Human is a three-part 1999 documentary television series produced by the BBC. It follows the lives of three prominent European philosophers: Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, and Jean-Paul Sartre. The theme of this documentary revolves heavily around the school of philosophical thought known as existentialism, although the term had not been coined at the time of Nietzsche's writing, and Heidegger declaimed the label. The documentary is named after the 1878 book written by Nietzsche, titled Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits. The final episode in this series, The Road to Freedom, describes the life of the French philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre. This is when the term existentialism begins to enter the realm of philosophy. The documentary shows that Sartre believes it is up to each individual human being to give his or her own life a meaning and a purpose. Published on Jul 26, 2012 by doostmusic

I always get mad at my fiance whenever discussing about this issue. He can fully understand my mind, my thoughts, but until now there is no real action over handling. Including my scorn on human bad habits in adding the amount of pollution in the Earth: Smoking cigarettes : that human intellect is not determined by their physical form, but of good ideas and think comprehensively about the benefit of living together. I told him, "Dahling, please tell your friends who always dress smartly with a safari suit or tie, if they have the habit of smoking, then their degree is lower than an animal, because even a monkey does not know how to smoke. Why? because, though like humans, monkeys are not human. While they, who claim and feel more intelligent than monkeys, .. ehehhe ... what they do to us? They ruin their own health as well the health of others -- us, family, loved ones, friends, and possibly also their pet monkey -- with tobacco smoke.
(Hahaha ... Cisca! Stop your grumbling. You talk about the monkeys? Oh, it just reminds me of Simian Virus 40 and various kinds of dramatic stories about it. In cyberspace you can begin your search with a keyword : 98 million americans infected by the cancer virus, for example, etc, etc.

Ouch, days after being released from prison, ... I think of silly things about Khodrokovsky: How many times did he have sexual orgasm with or without his wife?

But I still stand on reality: Love must be able to nourish us both mental and physical. Mr. Khodorkovsky, I stop liking you if it turns out you are a cigarette smoker. Sorry.

■ 'Hey, Washington! Do something!' Russian prisoner in US jail faces death. Russia has issued a demarche to the US over the critical health condition of jailed Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who was found guilty of drug trafficking. His lawyer says his client has symptoms of a heart attack, but is not getting help. Russian authorities have raised the issue of Yaroshekno's health many times with their US counterparts, but to no avail. With Yaroshenko now apparently in critical condition, the Russian foreign ministry publicly called for US reaction via Facebook, asking followers to repost the urgent message.
