MOTIVATION


The most precious gifts in our lives, and consequently the things we happen to take for granted the most, are our senses: our sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell; the building blocks of how we perceive and understand our world. However, we overly depend on technology which made us hard to stay connected to our senses.
