I took a break because someone wallowed out blaspheme that abstrusely speaking I lack meaningful conversation. Probably true! Well let me just hit back and say primordial dialogue is my department of expertise – so bring in on Rocky!

Stuff the snobs who think they are a cut above the norm when it’s this representation that drives the world. The peasants that is! I can’t be bothered with poppy cocking BS, and sly slobbering toffee nosed politicians who put themselves first, but woe the crowd with promises way beyond their capacity.

Take an example from Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who discussed with President Barack Obama the economy, energy, and the environment, last Saturday. Lula, as known to everyone in Brazil had little formal education. He didn’t learn to read until he was ten years old, and quit school after fourth grade to start work to help his family. His working life began when he turned 12 years old, as a shoe-polisher and street salesman. By age 14 he had gotten his first formal job in a copper processing factory.

As President he’s already been reelected in October 2006, so it just goes to show he is improving conditions for Brazilians. I left Brazil recently after he was elected in his first term in 2002, and recall at the time I’d get RS$6 (reais) to the pound. Nowadays it’s less than 4, so it just goes to show how the Brazilian real is becoming stronger. Who knows he may make a third term if he continues to enhance people's quality of life!

It certainly defines success doesn’t always come down to qualifications at school although these are rare cases not to be compared with students’ life of today. It comes back down to attitude and becoming passionate about what one is doing to excel in life!

In higher education, of course!
