The 24 interludes of life:
1. Don't go for looks, it can deceive;
Don't go for wealth
- even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes
you smile
coz' only a smile makes a dark day seem bright.
Hope you find
that person.
2. There are moments in life when you
really miss
someone that you
want to pick them from your dreams
and hug them for
real! Hope you dream of that someone.
3. Dream what you want to dream; Go
where you want to go;
Be what you want
to be cuz you have only one life
and one chance to
do all the things you want in life.
4. May you have enough happiness to
make you sweet,
enough trials to
make you strong, enough sorrow to keep
you human, enough
hope to make you happy
and enough money
to buy gifts!!
5. When one door of happiness closes,
another opens but
often we look so
long at the closed door that we don't
see the one which
has been opened for us.
6. The best kind of friend is the one
you could sit on
a porch, swing with,
never saying a word,
and then walk away
feeling like that was the
best conversation
you've had.
7. It's true that we don't know what
we've got until we
lose it, but it's
also true that we don't know
what we've been
missing until it arrives.
8. Always put yourself in other's shoes.
if you feel
that it hurts you,
it probably does hurt the person, too.
9. A careless word may kindle strife;
A cruel word may
wreck a life; A
timely word may level stress;
A loving word may
heal and bless.
10. The beginning of love is to let
those we love be
perfectly
themselves, and not to twist them with
our
own image - otherwise, we love only
the reflection
of ourselves
we find in them.
11. The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the
best of everything;
they just make the most of everything
that comes
along their way.
12. Maybe God wants us to meet a few
wrong people
before meeting
the right one so that when we finally
meet the right
person, we should know how to be
grateful for
that gift.
13. It takes a minute to have a crush
on someone, an
hour to like
someone and a day to love someone
- but it takes
a lifetime to forget someone
14. Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who hurt,
those who
have searched and those who have tried.
For only they
can appreciate the
importance
of people who have touched their lives.
15. Love is when you take away the
feeling, the passion,
the romance
and you find out you still care for that
person.
16. A sad thing about life is that
when you meet
someone who
means a lot to you only to find out
in the end
that it was never bound to be and
you just have
to let go...
17. Love starts with a smile, develops
with a kiss and
ends with
a tear.
18. Love comes to those who still hope
even though
they've been
disappointed, to those who still
believe even
though they've been betrayed,
to those who
still love even though they've
been hurt
before.
19. It hurts to love someone and not
be loved in return,
but what is
the most painful is to love someone
and never
finding the courage to let the
person know
how you feel
20. The brightest future will always
be based on a
forgotten
past, you can't go on well in life until
you
let go of your past failures and heartaches.
21. Never say goodbye when you still
want to try -
never give
up when you still feel you can take it
- never say
you don't love that person anymore
when you can't
let go.
22. Giving someone all your love is
never an assurance
that
they'll love you back! Don't expect love
in return,
just
wait for it to grow in their hearts but if
it doesn't,
be content
it grew in yours.
23. There are things you love to hear
but you would
never
hear it from the person whom you would like
to
hear
it from, but don't be deaf to hear it
from
the person who says it with his heart.
24. When you were born, you were crying
and everyone
around
you was smiling - live your life so that
when you die,
you're
smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Life is a painful truth....
A poem from a girl dying of cancer:
Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste,
not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
