Keep Asking For What You Want to Know

It is really irritating when somebody asks us ‘why it happened?’, and just keep asking on various occasions, even if he gets back the answers or not.

It is kind of childish but it is very useful because when we being childish ask questions, we actually show our will to learn more than we know and it is always good to learn. People do not get answers to all of their questions because the person on the other side gets irritated within a few moments and tries to find a way out of that particular...

An Honest and Truthful Man

Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source.

— Henry Miller

Every day, God gives us the sun and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy.

Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived that moment, that it doesn’t exist that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow.

But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic mo...
