The same hand

I was in the train, on our way back to Basel from Schaffhausen. The train was pretty empty and Didi was busy taking photographs and looking at them. Thought of the our visit to IWC factory and museum at Schaffhausen in the afternoon...Hmm, all about men's watches (Well, you should know who suggested going IWC :P) but it's kinda interesting to know a little more of the history of watch making and how watch making can link so closely to sports and creating awareness in relation to world issues. Thought of the quote that I have read about in the museum...
"People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want. We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and history of the world were written by the same hand." ~ Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)
...I looked out of the window on the other side of the train, saw a beautiful river, water gleaming under the sun...I smiled
