Glorifying God through my pursuit of a medical career.
Discernment is not simply a matter of telling the difference between what is right and wrong; rather it is the difference between right and almost right.
He that deserves nothing should be content with anything.
To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here.
Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live.
Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.

New Museum, New York

Looking for something to do in the city this weekend since it'll probably be the only "free" weekend we'll have before the work starts picking up again, we decided to go visit the New Museum. It's the only museum in Manhattan dedicated to contemporary art.

The museum consists of five stories, each filled with art pieces of very minimalistic and clean presentation. I really liked the architecture and design of the museum itself, especially since I really enjoy working on design work of my own and keep up with a lot of web design trends. I have to admit though, for a lot of the pieces presented there, I questioned the qualifications for what determined what got to be presented there and what didn't. Sometimes it seemed like it probably took more thought to come up with the blurb about the work than to complete the work itself, but I guess in this type of context, the blurb, or motivation and philosophy behind a work is the main part of the work itself.

Does an extravagant or profound philosophy behind a specific piece actually add value to the piece itself? Does it aid the piece in serving a greater or more effective purpose? Is it possible to have a piece that, without an articulated philosophy or motivation, cease to have a purpose?
