In any grass-roots campaign, building an ongoing base of support is as important as winning the ultimate goal.

True Action!
We are laborer,
Absolutely Pure laborer!
Then why, suffering, complaining,
On own stresses, about unnecessary sweats and toiling!
Work that must be inspired,
Where worker should never come to tire.
No exhaustion but the enjoyment while working,
And true nobler are enthusiastic about goal pursuing!
True Goal is not achieving the goal,
But striving to reach the goal is the real goal.
One should keep the goal to shoot at the highest emplacement,
So that one can enjoy his whole life without getting retirement.
Goal should be so high so that none can reach,
Why should ideal be kept so high so that it can’t be reached?
Striving to reach the highest is the moment where we grow,
Reaching the goal is the end of the goal, hence it will simply blow.

It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.

At Least I Accompany Me
You ask me to say ok
When I'm screaming no!
You want me to smile
When I feel like crying
Hey, at least sadness accompanies me
Because this world is never going
As smooth as we hope
The lucky day for you
Maybe the lost for someone
You told me to be strong
But do we really have a choice?
You give me the warmth
But I'm still cold inside
Hey, at least hunger accompanies me
When it is always more for you
Than good to me
Will you remove it
Only because it is not beautiful?
You bind me with mercy
When I seek for freedom
You try to be closer to me
But I'm forever stranger
Hey, at least loneliness accompanies me
Time keeps stretching
Your tired body forward
Even though your soul and mind
Are left behind
You push me so far
When all I need is sleeping
You demand a hope
When my dream's tingling to break
Hey, at least darkness is accompanies me
For life will not stop
Only because some whining
For heart will keep searching
Something that could fulfill

True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.

Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.
American Splendor is just an ongoing journal. It's an ongoing autobiography. I started it when I was in my early 30s, and I just keep going.

An Archer
The archer or guard accompanies a message,
His commands are beleaguering and foolish;
Mighty workers of righteousness are fully clothed,
Their piety is all-accomplishing like a non-liar.
The government is a compass and a map,
The journey is ongoing like a dangerous weapon.
We see the small print of ages past,
A historian shall treat you right like an ass.
His writing is beyond help, he lives among the trekkers
Of the countryside that sways and remarks.
May the commands and comments of living
Be like the archer or guard, a funny fellow of grace.

The goal wasn't to be a millionaire or to be a Hollywood star. That was not the goal. The goal was something about - the goal was to find the goal, but I knew where it was.

Green Woods
The green woods revel when in the growth,
The enjoyment accompanies us so early;
The tables and chairs of the wild shuffle
Around and around like the very weather.
A scene of polite health has been attained,
Inside the butter of the wild, the bread of the forest.
Their mouths shout out disease as they lull
Others who are in calm already, but we
Suddenly fall as a song of music,
The very song of the green woods so old.

How Did You Get Past The Guards
Whatever you deem,
At the time...
Is important,
To you.
Let whatever it is at that time,
Be important.
That's the same way I feel about my time,
You take for granted...
Whenever you feel okay,
To dropp by unexpectedly...
To make your time,
The time I am not feeling.
Whatever you deem,
At the time...
Is important,
To you.
Let whatever it is at that time,
Be important.
But do not think for one moment,
My time...
Is not important to me.
And not a second of it do I plan to share!
Or...
Will be convinced that I should.
You are on the East side of this rainbow.
How did you get past the guards?
I keep telling them,
No visitors.
You...
Must have been annoying them for too long!

Maradona, Maradona, Maradona…
This poem is dedicated to worldwide football fans.
Your left foot had the power
Of a great painter’s brush,
You made the football
To talk to your
Body’s changing moves.
Defenders all over the world
Tried to scare you, tackle you, fowl you,
Could they snatch your external body part,
A football?
You moved like a white lighting
In the dark cloud of opponent's defense;
Other strikers saw opponent's goal post,
You aimed to shoot there,
There was one word that fed you
In your entire football career –
Goal, goal, goal.
Not only Argentine fans
But football lovers worldwide
Were crazy because of you,
You were crazy for them, too.
You risked and sacrificed your body
For the enjoyment of millions of fans
Who saw unarguably best skills of
Dribbling and body movement
In entire football arena.
Some say, you are the football God,
Some say, you are the prince of football,
I say, you are a tiger
In white and Indigo stripes...

Interview with Manuel Negrete
What is the most beautiful goal?
A goal with friends; a goal that is itself a goal;
A goal that is a beginning, and a goal that ends.
What is the most perfect fulcrum?
The human body where it casts a shadow.
When will the earth shift on its axis?
When the moon becomes a meteorite
And imagination lifts the heart.
Did the Azteca fly up from its foundation?
All of Mexico emerged from the ground.
Is Quetzalcoatl a soccer god?
He plays with the morning star.
What do you do with your time?
I live in the blinding moment.

The most important thing for small businesses is getting the economy back on its feet. That - the key driver of small business activity is demand for their product, and that is what we are trying to do, getting the economy back on its feet. That's far more important than other factors.
