STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Most people are something. One is a mason and not a clerk and the other is a tailor but not a street sweeper. What we do takes the place of who we are. We wake up, work and a routine takes over our lives.

For years a steady grows of skills and a diminishing slope of strength move in parallel but opposing directions. We take weekends off in our careers before we take the entire week off in retirement.

Yes, there are variations. A mason needs a tough frame and the clerk needs a soft tone. A tailor needs to be dexterous and a street sweeper aims well. The presence of a routine though, runs common.

If I were a sweeper, I’d sweep a different street everyday. I don’t know how I would get to Rome and that is beautiful.

If I were a mason, I would follow the Iranian architecture but then would switch to the Colonial style for a bit. Thankfully, there are enough styles for me to follow forever.

If I were a clerk…

I cannot imagine a life where everyday is the same; life finds meaning in variety. An active mind demands a fruitful life and it is fulfilled with a progressively changing life. I would want to be a mason, and a clerk and a street sweeper and an architect.

I am an engineer at 30 but I like to be a physician at 40 and a geologist at 60.

Creativity is life and it demands change.
