Part-time hunter

This is what I read and wrote in early 1990's. I did this 'little work' while spending precious 'Tano Bora' at JKT.

'... if men had the power to influence the sex of a baby before birth, the number of girls in Tanzania -and perhaps elsewhere- would hardly fill the Diamond Jubilee Hall and what an unspeakable catastrophe if nature had given men that power!'
-Family Mirror, First Issue, December 1990. (By Tetyo B. Malya, -Family Chat)
...............................................

'You can have a great marriage and great career.
You can have a great marriage and great children.
You can have a great career and great children.
But it's awfully hard to have all three at once!'
-Weekend Magazine, Friday, April 19, 1991. (Originally by Barbara Walters)

'Life is a campaign, not a battle, and has it's defeats as well as its victories'*
-Feb. 1991

'A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one at all would find fault with what he has done.'*
-Feb.1991
...................................................

'The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.'*
-Feb. 1991
....................................................

'when we try to help others we lose our intense dislike of them, and sometimes end up by liking them. Liking many individuals and wanting to help them as well as yourself is a great source of energy.'*
-Feb. 1991
....................................................

'I am more and more convinced that our happiness or unhapiiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.'*
-February 1991
....................................................

'The most lovable quality tha any human can possess is tolerance.
Tolerance is the vision that enables us to see things from another person's point of view.
It is the generosity that concedes to others the right to their own opinion and their own peculiarities.
It is the bigness that enables us to let people be happy in their own way instead of our way.'*
-February 1991
