" “Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning.”~Gloria Steinem.
My nature of work is help others to face the world , this feeling is no different than the feeling of caring for each other and happiness it generates is enough for me to get going. "
