Intelligence is the capability 

to face life's challenges. 

Character is the way you 

choose to face such challenges. 

Don’t allow anyone to take 

your enthusiasm away from you.  

Negative influences must be eliminated. 

Always. At all costs.

You disrespect yourself when you 

don't provide the care necessary 

to become the balanced person

 that you virtually already are.

                  In this ‘time of noise’, 

                  allow yourself to spend 

                  some time alone every day, 

                  in silence.

No one has the right to interfere 

             with the choices of another.

                       'They' shouldn't interfere in yours.

                               'You' shouldn't interfere in theirs. 

                            If you become that someone 

                            you secretly long to be, 

                            you will feel proud of yourself. 

                            And your life will be more serene.

Some people are not interested

 

in kindling any higher interests or purpose. 

They are like a candle whose wick 

doesn't burn properly.

It’s up to you to decide to hold 

the wheel of your destiny, 

and steer it in the right direction.

A street vendor displays fire-red watermelons. 

You may believe that ‘all’ the watermelons are red. 

It may not be so. 

What about your life's expectations?

If you want, you can create a new reality. 

How? By transforming the old one -

the one you falsely believed to be 

the ‘only’ available - into a better one.
