Kannadasan a tamil poet --
Why god has become a stone?
Because The men's heart has become stone hard
One who sees evil lose his vision
One who stops an evil lost his speech,
One who see mercy lost his wealth
One who is good to All lost his self,
The Conman is Rewarded Intelligent
One Who Suffers is accused
One who speaks truth is Criminal
This how the world rules
You Need Consceince
That is Angel of Justice
For All deeds He is Witness
And He never comes to court
This was song from a tamil flim. U guys must listen to Kannadasan, Vali and MGR Songs. U appreciate.

If you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
but make allowances for their doubting too.
If you can dream but not make dreams your master,
and think but not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with triumph and disaster,
and treat those two imposters both the same,
If you can bear to hear the truths you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
or see the things you gave your life to broken,
and stoop and build them up with worn out tools.
If you can make a heap of all your winnings,
and risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
and lose, and start again at your beginnings,
and never breathe a word about your loss.
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone,
and so hang on when there is nothing in you
except the will which says to them
hang on.
If you can walk with kings and keep your virtue,
or talk with crowds, nor lose the common touch,
If neither foe nor loving friend can hurt you,
If all men count with you but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds of
distance run,
Yours is the earth and all that is in it, and which is more,
You will be a man my son.
This poem titled "If" by Rudyard Kipling is one of my favorites.
Years ago I was having some tough times and an old man I didn't know befriended me and taught it to me.
It never fails to inspire me.

"Life's a Dance" which we all know is in a song. But none the less true. "If I only knew how to dance." so many have said. But we are the rythum, steps, and flow in time. Through out history couples have demostrated the labors involved with making a relationship/family work. Each step, turn, twist and dip to life's mysteries are shared, timed and incorporated to their loves music.

"f&%k what the english teacher said, you have a voice use it or lose it, baby." Yeah, I live by that one, I love that quote, among other ones.Like, "If they give you ruled paper, write the other way." They are about not letting society control you, have a mind for yourself and you will learn alot more. Or, "If we were meant to walk everywhere, God wouldn't have invented rollarskates." Hope these help.

The absolute best advice anyone has ever given me is not to invest a little bit of time into everything, but invest a lot of time into one thing and become superior to others.

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grow it under his feet. James Oppenheim
Happiness is a perfume which you can't pour on someone without getting some on yourself. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own;
He who, secure within can say;
"Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today." Horace

Be nice to everyone on your way up the ladder of success...
They may be the ones passing upwards as you
