About Me

A Cuban In London: London, United Kingdom; Look well to this day for it is life, the very best of life. In its brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence, the joy of growth, the splendour of action, the glory of power. For yesterday is but a memory and tomorrow is only a vision. But today if well-lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day. (Ancient Sanskrit Poem)
