You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something. -Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988)- What do you think?

life is a continuous discovery and lesson,it's impossible to know everything,but we should at least try and admire the small things in life because that's what life is all about...we struggle to survive and we forgot how to live

that is absolutely ryt..in this world of gadgets and gizmos..its so hard to build strong relationship..but we must! and it does involves knowing deeper! just like our relationship with God, He wants us to draw closer to Him just know His name.

It's true. We've collected many names (we mean many friends), but we never really knew them. We must learn it. Thanks for reminding me..
