It is better to light a candle
During my college days, I came across this monthly newsletter by an organization called The Christophers. The newsletters were entitled Christophers News Notes.

A Beautiful Mind
Here is a section from the movie “ A Beautiful Mind” . A story about the life of Professor John Nash, a famous Mathematician, who battled Schizophrenia and later won the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 1994.
Personally, i find the following section from the movie very meaningful and touching.
Excerpt from the movie : “I have made the most important discovery in my career, the most important discovery in my life. That only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reason can be found, …….you are the reason I am , you are all my reason.”
