    Unfortunately, I have no quotes on that matter. The things I have to share are about love, life, and death. However, I looked up an old little book of mine and found - perhaps - something worth sharing. And I apologize in advance for the possibility that the translation is not 100% accurate.

    You always try. You always fail. What does it matter? Try again. Fail again. Fail better. --- Samuel Beket, Irish author

    Think of all the beauty that is left around you and feel happy. --- Anna Frank, from her famous diary

    Default Well said... wonderful quotes

    Excellent dear. These are some of those wonderful lines that inspires us always. It'd have been a far more better world to live had all of us understand the simple meaning hidden in these lines.

    Thanks !

    Thank you for your encouragement. Still, I have many more, but like I said before they're about love, life and death. And they're mostly from Shakespeare ( original text).
    So, if you need my input on those matters, I'll be glad to help.
    My humble greetings.

    Thanks for your interest and willingness to share Kakashi-san. I have always believed that love and life are the evergreen topics that bring lots of interest wherever it gets discussed. Shakespere, no doubt, is the best in putting the complex things in simple words.

    If you get time, lets share some of your love and life choices here. Hope others would also find it interesting :-)

    Default A Sonnet

    Since I have your permission Neeraj/ Ebisu-san, I shall proceed. The following text is one of my favorites and I would very much like to share it, so that others may see it's beauty as well.

    Let me not to the marriage of true minds
    Admit impediments. Love is not love
    Which alters when it alteration finds,
    Or bends with the remover to remove.
    O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark,
    That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
    It is the star to every wandering bark,
    Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
    Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
    Within his bending sickle's compass come;
    Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
    If this be error, and upon me prov'd,
    I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.


    Shakespeare, Sonnet CXVI.

    Default Never give up on anything

    hi Kakashi-san, here is something on love...hope you would like it.

    Its madness-

    To hate all roses; because you got scratched by one thorn.
    To give up all your dreams; because one did not come true.
    To lose faith in prayers; because one was not answered.

    To give up on your efforts; because one of them failed.
    To condemn all your friends; because one of them betrayed.
    Not to believe in love; because someone was unfaithful.

    Remember that, another chance may come up.
    A new friend, A new love , A new life.

    Never give up on anything.

    Actually, I've done many of these things. I stopped believing in humans because everyone has betrayed me and / or abandoned me.
    I stopped believing in love for the same reason.
    And I stopped believing in friendship as well.
    I don't know if I can change that now. I'm afraid I'll get hurt again. So...
    I don't feel anymore.

    Dear Kakashi-san,

    We all are here on this earth for some special purpose. Let us not under rate ourselves. We all are unique in one way or another. Just for the sake of others, we can't stop believing ourselves. We should never do like that. Lets be brave and face the challenges in our life.

    Friend Kakashi-san, just read once again the following lines in the above poem once again.

    .....
    Remember that, another chance may come up.
    A new friend, A new love , A new life.

    Never give up on anything.
    .......

    Just start a fresh and the things would be normal once again.


    How can u tell the rain not 2 fall when clouds exist? How can u tell the leaves not 2 fall when wind exist? How can u tell me not to fall in friendship when u exist.
    Never say ur happy when ur sad? never say ur fine when ur not ok? never say u feel good when u feel bad? and never say ur alone when I m still alive.
    When God opened the window of the Heaven He asked me: What is your wish for today? ?I said : please take special care of the person reading this!!!!!!!?

    Dear Neeraj/ Ebisu-san,
    If you insist... I guess I can try. * melancholic smile* But you should know that I'll get hurt again. And I'll tell you when it happens. Is that ok? If I may,that is.
