Jumble Grumble A Note from Thought

Got a job as a Business Consultant in a gold investment company this Monday. The job desk, however, is quite far from the usual business consultant, as far as I know at least. This job requires me to find new clients and then give suggestions regarding their investment.

It pays well once I have a client. Meanwhile, however, I still have no luck in finding one so my payment will not be that much :(

Let's hope next week will be better!

How many languages do you speak? One? Two? Are you one of the multilingual speakers who can talk more than two languages?

If you speak more than one language, then you must notice the expanse of the world that you can see through language. How une and un describe the object; how kaniktshaq, anijo, and ivuneq are used to picture a simple snow; or simply how the language itself brings you closer to people you could proudly call as friend.

Language is fascinating. For me language is the closest thing that we human have to magic. How's not? Language bears culture. Language could be a mirror of one's personality or emotion. Plus, do you see how great authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling created a new magical universe through their words? Word, language, magic.

Thus, wouldn't it be a pity if one language is endangered?

Before anyone asks, no, the title above does not mean happy birthday at all in Elvish. I took it from a Sindarin song, Evenstar, voiced by Fiona McNeal. It means "It's not the end, it's the beginning". Sounds fancy, right?
