My Mantra

I was reading my friend Mike's Blog today and I noticed a quote that made me smile. Mike is the first AIESEC trainee in Afghanistan, and one of those "fellow travelers" that I always seem to bump into in some corner of the world.

The quote was from Rumi, the famous 13th century sufi poet, and when I read it, I had the feeling that I may not be as crazy as everyone else thinks.

“Travelers, it is late. Life’s sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings.”
