After speaking to him about some of my experiences, my uncle recommended I read a book by Carlos Castaneda. Later that day I went to the internet cafe but all the connections were being used so I sat and waited. There was only one book on their shelf and it coincidentally just happenned to be by Carlos Castaneda.
I borrowed it, read it and returned it the next day. Afterwards I got on a bus to visit my auntie. A lady sat next to me then opened some sheets. Curiosity got the best of me and I had a casual glance at what she read.. which coincidentally happenned to be 'The Life and Work of Carlos Castaneda'. These things just keep on happenning to me.
I couldnt find my way to Claudias and got lost, but a small older woman noticed and asked me if I needed som help. I told her yes, so she showed me the way to the bus depot and told me which bus to catch. I helped her with her bags as we walked and talked about her children and their studies. When the bus came I got in and I waved to her though the window, she waved back with a shine in her eye. I made it to Claudias just fine.

My grandfather is great, lately I have been surprised at how much we connect and how much he means to me for he is truly a wise man. I love all my family, but my grandfather is just that, a grandfather. He is so young in spirit yet so old in wisdom, and his watch always runs one minute late, all his watches ever have done that.. I find that interesting in a metaphoric way.
His rules in life are :
'Dont take it personally, because if you take it personally you are lost'.
'Plan for the future and know that everything can go wrong'.
'Dress properly, find your image and stick to it'.
'Be assertive'.
'Exercise'.
