- Life never seems to be the way we want it but we have to live it the best way we can! There is no perfect life, but we can fill it with perfect moments.
- Don’t see others doing better than you; beat your own records everyday because success is a fight between you and yourself.
- Hope and end are always there for everyone. It depends on us how we deal with them: a hopeless end or an endless hope!
- Success does not depend on making important decisions quick. But it depends on your quick action on important decisions.
- Don’t be scared by a person who practises a 100 kicks one time; fear a person who practises one kick a 100 times.
- Hurting someone is as easy as cutting a tree within a moment. But making someone happy is like growing a tree; it takes a lot of time, care and patience!
- Experiences are like waves. They come to you on shore of life and drag the sand from beneath your feet. But each wave makes you stand on a new base.
- Efforts towards success will make you a master. But efforts towards satisfaction will make you a legend.
- Every sunset gives us one day less to live! But every sunrise give us one day more to hope! Therefore, hope for the best.
You Are…
You are strong
when you take your grief and teach it to smile.
You are brave
when you overcome your fears and help others to do the same.
You are loving
when your pain does not blind you to the pain of others.
You are true
when you admit there are times you fool yourself.
You are alive
when tomorrow’s hope means more to you than yesterday’s mistake.

Choices
Some people sit, some people try;
Some people laugh, some people cry;
Some people will, some people won’t;
Some people do, some people don’t.
Some people believe, and develop a plan;
Some people doubt, never think that they can;
Some people face hurdles and give it their best;
Some people back down when faced with a test.
Some people complain of their miserable lot;
Some people are thankful for all that they’ve got;
And when it’s all over, when it comes to an end;
Some people lose out, and some people win.
We all have a choice, we all have a say;
We are spectators in life, or we get in and play;
Whichever we choose, how we handle life’s game;
The choices are ours, no one else is to blame.
Time
Time is…
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love, time is eternity.
THE LIFE WE LIVE
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people; first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy.
A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labours of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Only a life lived for others is worth living.
Aiming High
On aiming high it must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfullied, but it is calamity not to dream. It is not disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disagrace not to reach the stars, but it is disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.
