Thinking about the Rules of Life made me think about my personal words of wisdom collected over the years. I started this blog to record my reflections of life. They come from my interaction with books, films, conversations and life events. Sometimes you thought something is really clever, but if you don't write it down somewhere, it gets forgotten really fast. The internet is a wonderful and convenient place to keep all these thoughts. Unfortunately, as I collate this collection of mine, I see that I've forgotten half of them. Some, I have not even practiced them well. This exercise is a good reminder to me. And I've added the latest WoW right at the very bottom.
