“All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles it’s a very very Mad world, mad world.”

“If I learned one thing from being a flight attendant is that if you don’t have a passport you should apply for one after you finishing reading this sentence. The world is such a fascinating place and if you’re not exploring it you’re missing Humanity as a whole. Traveling in the world will give you a better perspective on life. Through the travel opportunity, you will get out of your comfort zone and into a Zone of GrOwth. Collect beautiful moments and elevate your soul. Boarding and traveling the world is actually the best gift you can give yourself.”

“The truth is, I can’t explain how I’ve gotten to be 100 years old. I’ll just say that it’s a blend of good genes and a quality of life that you just don’t see anymore nowadays. I’ve always been moderate and exact in life. I didn’t need cigarettes. I didn’t need drugs. I didn’t need to get drunk. And I didn’t need too much sugar. Because of my moderate ways, I’ve managed to flourish for almost 100 years of constant shifts.

From a time where it would take more than two months for a letter to get to New York- I now live in a time where you can get a message to the other side of the world at the push of a button. I’m surrounded ...

“My grandma Miriam was always there for me. She changed my diapers and wiped my nose when I was a toddler. She used to embrace me every time I came back from kindergarten to my home. While I was there, she made sure I won’t be hungry by preparing me her Michelin three-star “malawach”. When I grew up and started dating, she gave me great tips on how I should treat my girlfriends. We have such a great connection that she actually reads me like an open book. Whenever I have something on my mind, I know that she will be the voice of reason and will help me sort it out. Right now I’m on my way to my weekly meeting with her. To all the grand-kids out there: Don’t be douche bags; a phone call once or twice a week is nice, but not enough. Find the time ...

“In the Russian Jewish culture you are not supposed to show your emotions and the education you receive is very strict. I grew up with a very dominant mother who wanted us to excel in everything we did. If I would come home with a low grade on one of my exams from school I knew that my parents will be disappointed with me. It didn’t matter if you liked or hated the subject you where tested in. The only thing that mattered was to be at the top of your class so that later on you could enter one of the Ivy League schools so you could get a degree that would help you launch a decent career. I came to value the mentality of ‘Suck it in’ but I know that I will educate my kids differently. I will not force them to overcome every challenge they might ...
