What is lo.....ve..what is love? Love in Keats' Bright Star and Shakespeare's Sonnet 18, 55 and 64

Love makes the world go round. Love empowers. Love conquers. Love lifts you up, but love can also destroy and leave you dead for many centuries.
Keats in Bright Star and Shakespeare in Sonnet 18, Sonnet 55 and Sonnet 64 gave us multi interpretations of love. Whose ideas of love can you relate to? Or perhaps their ideas of love are so out of this world that you are scratching your head to figure out what they are saying about love.Or maybe they know next to nothing about love. Only the young feel love the old should have just concentrated on dying as love has passed them by. Okay, spill it all lovers!

Learning to laugh at Yourself: A panacea for the Doubters

It has been a grueling 2 days. I know majority of you wished you were elsewhere.
For 14 hours you talked, you discussed, you shared, you presented and you role-played. Never before your vocal chord was stretched to its very limit.
Was it time well spent or was it 2 days of regrets?

Take at least few minutes of your time to reflect and share with me your experience of that 2 days.
