Who is clever
The clever make opportunities
Of others’ difficulties
And make difficulties
Of others’ opportunities.
Honesty has no place in politics.

opportunities lacking required degrees
of savvy as strike out scenarios
trajectory implies reality conflicts
prospect improvement requires changes
savvy minds utilize world opportunities

A man in my situation, my lords, has not only to encounter the difficulties of fortune. and the force of power over minds which it has corrupted or subjugated. but the difficulties of established prejudice: the man dies, but his memory lives.

Biased Answers
Probe your deepest feelings
To make an emotional connection
To form a meaningful picture
Of the world around you
And create your own happiness
To move past pain and hurt
Without a doubt
Don't let nagging feelings
Of isolation and loss
Hold you back from smiling
Or springing to life
Get hold of missed opportunities
And know that
There are no easy answers
Or emotional responses
Minute by minute
So don't give biased answers
Or misinterpret your difficulties
Just watch out
And move forward to nurture happiness
For there is so much out there to know..............

Opportunities
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, i've got the brains
Let's make lots of -
I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside, i'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question: do you want to be rich?
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, i've got the brains
Let's make lots of money
You can tell i'm educated, i studied at the sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics, i could have been a don
I can program a computer, choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination, i have got the crime
Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know?
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them
Make or break them
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of -
(aahhhhh) money
(aahhhhh)
(aahhhhh - di du da di da bu di ba)
You can see i'm single-minded, i know what i could be
How'd you feel about it, come and take a walk with me?
I'm looking for a partner, regardless of expense
Think about it seriously, you know, it makes sense
Let's (got the brains)
Make (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)
(let's) you've got the brawn
(make) i've got the brains
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)
I've got the brains (got the brains)
You've got the looks (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)

Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.

When I’m Perturbed
When I am perturbed
I don’t know
Where to go and what do?
I lose my patience
The mind is agitated
No relief from any where
Thoughts do not stop
I keep on thinking
The world
Is a useless place
Full of difficulties
Everybody is selfish
Love and affection
Doesn’t exist
Anger and frustration
Rules me
I pray to god
Ask him
How to end all this?
God doesn’t reply
But slowly the mind
Cools down
I start talking to myself
To my surprise
I find
I am to be blamed
For many miseries
My own actions
Increased my difficulties
I decide to take lesson
From the mistakes
I committed
Things become better
For me
The world now looks
A better place to live in

I think of these things as obstacles rather than opportunities, because if they were opportunities it means I actually took the business of doing them seriously. To take myself too seriously is the gentle kiss of death.
