"If they can do it, let them do it. If they can't do it, how can I do it?"This is the quote I read somewhere, and it made me think for a while. Anyway, it is true also.

But, have your feelings changed the fact? Okay,...View more

Well, as easy it is advising someone that you need...View more

Life........!!!!!A concise word, but it has a profound meaning. I would not be wrong if I said, very few people can know or have learned the fundamental importance of life. I read somewhere if you want to know the importance of life, like them, who just returned knowing death's door. I was always too curious to know,What is life?Life! The word sounds too small, but it is a long journey that few people find pleasing, and for a few, it's unpleasant. If going with the official statement of Life, It is a condition that differentiates plants and animals from inorganic...View more

Everyone suggests you be satisfied, whatever ups and downs come in your way. Instead, I believe being happy is an art. Even though everyone has this skill. But very few people are aware of this. You will agree with me if I say, even if happy people are like you, they are still different from everyone. Happy people always get recognition over those who being sad every time. Being happy does not mean you don't have any issues, you have achieved everything you wanted to, or you don't have to grieve. Happiness is beyond all these things. So, with the...View more
