Obama talks about giving money to people advancing sciences: standing ovation.
Obama encourages math, science, and teaching, but says nothing of humanities: standing ovation. (cue personal rage)
Obama says anything that helps the world of money: clapping.

I write a lot about my reflections on life.
I think about it a lot, and I suppose keeping it written keeps me from re-thinking it. Forward progression, I’d like to think.
Nobody of a true mind is sane.
Sanity and normalcy go hand and hand, and as memory has it, normalcy makes very ignorant and uninteresting people. At least there’s personality in madness.

you never know the twists and turns and swirls you will make.
what looks like a setback might be a huge leap forward. what looks like a misstep might actually be the perfect one to take.
We can lose the life we once led, we can be left with nothing but ourselves….but we can always rebuild. We can always take up a new life, we can keep living, expanding our horizons through experiences and endless learning.
