People from all walks of life, people of various positions and professions help me define many things.
I keenly observe their actions, listen to their ideas, read about them, and get interested in their endeavors.
I collect friends regardless of their status in life. The meanest some persons are, the more I love them. In them, I find no hypocrisy. They act and speak the way they like. Because they may be poor, they can't afford to be sophisticated.

But these people are the best source of ideas. They have the power to change my mood.
I can't always be sentimental. I can face the world with a merry outlook and define words more than what they literally mean.
