Ambition destroys its possessor. (Hebrew proverb)
Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden
plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy,
the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of
holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into
maladies, and remedies into diseases. (Thomas Brooks)
...so, if striving for success is the first step towards
failure, let’s strive for failure!
Role model for retirement:
Aqualung,
the homeless as depicted by Jethro Tull
My interpretation:
“Nonno Seghina”
(it loosely translates in “Grandpa Handjob”), an
homeless, dirty, unhealthsome, repulsive, immoral and
unrepentant molester, living from hand to mouth.
A new
house...
A new
look...
Many New Projects!!!
