Swami Vivekananda Said...

"... get up, and set your shoulder to the wheel-how long is this life for? as you have come into this world, leave some mark behind. otherwise where is the difference between you and the trees and stones? - they too come into existence, decay and die..." - Swami Vivekananda

My Inspirational Statue

Self-made man, the statue I greatly admire and the principle I strongly believe. "... left to his own devices, man will use his god-given talents to be creative, productive, and prosperous. Using free will, he will better his own situation and that of those around him, thereby influencing in a positive way his own destiny..."

Yesterday, I am Highly Honored and received a Most Exciting Gift from Mary Smaragdis, the Distinguished Marketing Director of Sun Microsystems, Sun Celebrity, a Sun Ray Girl, JavaOne Supervisor, for submitting my Java application to the “Sun Duke's Choice Awards” 2006.
