geneva

I braved Geneva on my own and tried to find the United Nations Building. I found it. Unfortunately, it was not open for public tours since there was an on-going ministerial meeting on Human Rights. It would have been very interesting to see the big assembly hall.



I let myself be contented with the flags of different international organizations. These are waving up above one of the many bridges in Geneva.















Another picture of the bridge.


A fountain at the English Garden.

Geneva boasts of its biggest clock, to be found at the Promenade near the lake. The colors change, depending on the season (because of the variety of flowers and plants used).



This is called the Machine. I think this is used to control the flow of the water along Geneva lake.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
