A birth certificate shows we were born.

A photo album shows we have lived.

A death certificate shows we have died.

But that is not life all about. The purpose of life is to spread the fragrance of our good deeds, in our own small way and make a positive difference, even if it is to just one person or a little bit to the environment around us.

A sharp tongue can cut our own throat.

One thing we can give and still keep is — our word.

We lie the loudest when we lie to ourselves.

If we want our dreams to come true, we must not oversleep.

If we lack the courage to start, we will never reach anywhere, let alone attaining our cherished goal.

Ideas won’t work unless ‘we’ do.

One thing we can’t recycle is wasted time. In fact, waste of time is the most extravagant wastage of all.

Of all the things we wear, our expression is the most important. It should be cheerful and bubbling with enthusiasm. The best make-up for the face is the smile which makes the face beautiful.

Happiness and unhappiness are in the way we meet events not in the nature of these events themselves. Our happiness depends on the quality and texture of our thoughts, which determines our attitude towards ourselves, others and the world around us. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what you might have been.

Friends are like balloons; once we let them go, we might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we not even notice that we have let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong that we forget what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes we just don’t realize what real friendship means until it is too late.

The best vitamin for making friends is….. B1.

The heaviest burden we carry is a grudge…

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So we should love the people who treat us right and forget the ones who don’t.

Accept the fact that everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, but most say that it would be worth it.
