[essential]

i just had to impart this quote from mother teresa.  it came from a wall post of a good friend/co-parent in my youngest daughter's school.

it boils down to one thing, material possessions & fleeting aspirations are nothing compared to becoming a "person for others", just like what mother teresa did when she was alive. she practiced what she preached & for that, she was elevated to being a saint in no time at all after her death.
