Sabbatical @ Happy Valley

This blog was originally set up to share our sabbatical (07-08) in State College, USA - otherwise known as "Happy Valley". "Brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent and praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." (Phip 4:8)

Personal Creed

I have been busy with my research over the past few weeks; hence, the slack in updating this blog. So, here is a quick one on my Personal Creed.

(1) Be true to yourself. This will insure peace of mind, and you will never betray anyone.

(2) Make each day your masterpiece. You cannot change yesterday, and a better tomorrow can only come by improvement today.

(3) Help others. This will bring far, far more than you could ever give.

(4) Drink deeply from good books. There is none that compared to the Bible, but also read Shakespeare, Tennyson, the philosophers, biographies of great men, and others.

(5) Make a friendship a fine art. Be a friend; do not take friendship for granted. Build a shelter against a rainy day.
