Fahrenheit 451


"I will be very quiet," replied Archie. And I will be boldly frank. " I don't love my father. I wonder sometimes if I do not hate him. there's my shame, perhaps my sin. At least, and in the sight of God, not my fault. How was I to love him? He has never spoken to me, never smiled upon me. And I do not think he ever touched me. He was more afraid of death then of anything else. And he died as he thought he would. While the first snows of winter fell."
The Weir of Hermiston
Robert Louis Stevenson
Who appreciate the book, appreciate the life. Fahrenheit 451, the temperature that papers of books catch the fire, tries to tell us that would be no remnants of the past in the absence of books. The now emerges from the past and will connecte to the future just by means of books.

something like this

Eighteen days earlier she's had broken into tears when she'd taken me to the plane to Nepal. "Driving home from the airport," she confessed, " I couldn't stop crying. Saying good-bye to you was one of the saddest things I've have ever done. I guess I knew on some level that you might not be coming back, and it seemed like suck a waste. It seemed so fucking stupid and pointless."

Long time curiosity




It's not that I'm so smart , it's just that I stay with problems longer
Albert Einstein
More than One decade before I started to research on curative effect of Nettle , a well known herb for curing diabetic people. I involved in it by chance when my niece who I liked him so much got diabetes. I promised myself to spend all my endeavors in this field. For me it was a kind of pilgrim and I did it. I kept going and never gave up and finally I ended up this holy journey by discovering an herbal medicine that bound to open a new era in diabetes treatment.
Two years ago, arriving at Toronto I found how helpful circumstance I have been located. Seeing Banting Institute in College Street remind me of a miracle. It couldn’t be merely a blind accident, in hindsight I am thinking. As long as I knew Banting I refreshed my motivation, He amazed me. However he wasn’t good at biochemistry, he succeeded to make a revolution in medicine by discovering of insulin. Now I could breathe same air that Banting did.
It was too hard to introduce myself to university staffs. I took the initiative but the first achievement came just one year later when I got an opportunity to work in a lab in order to recheck my previous data. Fortunately the first check up was done successfully by a lab in York University and kept the research alive.
I am jumping to one year later, the time I did the last recognition experiment and I got another results from the York’s lab. I satisfied my long time curiosity and I got happiness exactly in the same way that Pauling, two noble prize winner, said," Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life". It was amazing. I feel myself in the end of my pilgrim but I hope that I can go on and start another journey
