| Introduction | What is Defining Desiderata? Inspired by my favorite poem, "Desiderata" by Max Ehrmann, this blog is a chance to share interesting insights on life- from science to philosophy to general musings about the world and about, as Ehrmann suggests, striving to be happy. You might be asking yourself why you should read this blog and what makes it different from every other example of our "many-to-many" communicative style of the technology age. 1. "Never speak unless you are the ablest man in the room," said Napoleon Bonaparte. I don't claim to be the expert on any of these topics but someone who experiences and shares information that is hopefully helpful and entertaining for others! 2. Hopefully the mix of topics will generate and support a community of people who strive to be happy and seek well-rounded knowledge about the world around them. |
