Always love  

 The best prescription is knowledge

 The soul would have no rainbow,

if the eyes had no tears

Indian saying
  
     

Good advice found on the web.

 

Anyway


People are unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered,
LOVE THEM ANYWAY

If you do good, people will
accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives,
DO GOOD ANYWAY

If you are successful, you win
false friends and true enemies,
SUCCEED ANYWAY

The good you do will
be forgotten tomorrow,
DO GOOD ANYWAY

Honesty and frankness
make you vulnerable,
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY

What you spent years building
may be destroyed overnight,
BUILD ANYWAY

People really need help but
may attack you if you help them,
HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY

Give the world the best you
have and you'll get kicked
in the teeth,
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY.

home in Calcutta.

 Slowdance

 

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain slap on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night
You'd 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
While the next hundred chores run through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told a child, "We'll do it tomorrow."
And in your haste, not seen 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 an unopened gift....Thrown away.
Life's not a race. So take it slower
Hear the music before the song is over.

 The Man In The Glass

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
and the world makes you king for a day
Just go to that mirror and look at yourself
and see what that man has to say

 

For it isn't your father or mother or wife
who judgment upon you must pass -
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
is the one staring back from the glass

 

Some people may think you're a straight-shootin' chum
and call you a wonderful guy
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
if you can't look him straight in the eye

 

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
for he's with you clear to the end
You've passed your most dangerous difficult test
if the man in the glass is your friend

 

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
and get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
if you've cheated the man in the glass
