Quarter of a Century


And I can honestly say, I've gotten quite far...Japan, to be more articulate. In 25 years on the face of the planet called Earth I've done quite a bit of this and that..Nothing too significant..Nothing revolutionary, just lived and, hopefully, learned.
Einstein had written the Annus Mirabilis Papers by the time he reached 25. Mozart composed his first great opera, Idomeneo, when he was 25. If u want to talk about more trendy figures, Ernesto Guevara received his medical diploma in at the age of 25, after travelling through South and Central America on a motorcycle, after which he decided to become a revolutionary. By 25, Kafka already had received the title "Doctor of Law" in Charles University of Prague.
So, big up to historic figures. I've got one more report to finish before heading down South to see some beautiful places that I can maybe look back on someday and smile. It would be cool to live three more of these 25 year sets, that is, if the world is still an inhabitable and humane place to be. Remember to drink plenty of water, and a little red wine too. Peace.
