Our mind is what lets us dream at night when we go to sleep, what gives us a fresh sense of hope and drive each morning when we wake up (some mornings before tougher than others).<\/p>\n
Our mind is the skeleton key which often unlocks unsolvable dilemmas (that is, until they’re solved, then they become minor stumbling blocks, upon later reflection).<\/p>\n

In fact, I’ve just listened to a BBC World Service programme, The Interview<\/a> (the URL will probably be incorrect after a weekly update) with Carl Djerassi.<\/p>\n Known as the man who created a social revolution, he invented the contraceptive pill, and transformed the lives of millions of women by given them more choice and control over when they had children.<\/p>\n Although he’s aged 82, his voice was vibrant and lucid and bursting with ideas. <\/p>\n Breaking beyond the boundaries of chemsitry, he’s recognised for having an extensive collection of Paul Klee<\/a> works. His drama “An Immaculate Misconception” has been staged in Singapore by the Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT).<\/p>\n
