Intention of required study, the word worth a thousand gold.

- Chinese Proverb

Meaning: When reading, don’t let a single word escape your attention; one word may be worth a thousand pieces of gold. This proverb stresses the fact that study requires undivided attention. And if there is something you don't understand, interrupt yourself. Only in this way can study be rewarded.

Wisdom, Book of Proverbs


On the countenance of a discerning person is wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

+ Proverbs 17, 24

[17:24] Wisdom is visible on the countenance (i.e., mouth, lips, tongue) of the wise person; its ultimate source is the heart. Fools have no such source of wisdom within them, a point that is nicely made by referring to the eye of the fool, roving over the landscape.

Little finland, Nevada


Little Finland
Little Finland (also known as Hobgoblin’s Playground and Devil’s Fire) is a scenic red rock area, located in a remote section of Clark County, Nevada south of Mesquite, known for its red rock scenery and strangely-shaped, delicate rock formations. The landscape is similar to Valley of Fire State Park, which is about 20 miles (32 km) to the west, across Lake Mead. The rock formations are composed of red Navajo Sandstone, fossil sand dunes. Many of the features are small erosional fins, hence the name.
