Life can be hard, but a smile 

costs nothing, yet it performs miracles. 

If you smile more, many misunderstandings 

could be clarified before reaching dangerous points. 

What counts is to live fully. 

             Unfortunately, many seem 

                        to prefer ‘how long’ rather than 

                                        just ‘how’ one’s life is lived.

You are encouraged to judge 

according to the ‘amount’. Therefore

 the widely accepted creed is that

having more, as well as saying more, is essential. 

 Defeat is a mental perspective. 

You are defeated only when you say so. 

And you 'believe' it.

Is there a pattern in Life that

pre-determines important choices, 

those that actually ‘create’ 

some compulsory experiences? 

 How does remembering 

past events with the understanding 

of today make you feel?

The beautiful bubble that is there 

for an instant or two - 

and then it is no more - 

may remind you of Life.
