Smile...please!

  • Never waste fresh tears over old grief.
  • A great relationship is just 2 people who specialize in forgiveness. 
  • Never let your memories, be greater than your dreams. 
  • Every once in a while, someone comes into your life, and makes you wonder how you ever lived life without them. 
  • Most couples don't have hundreds of arguments, they have the same argument hundreds of times. 
  • Having a thousand friends isn't a miracle. The miracle is to have a friend who will stand by you when thousands are against you. 
  • People will hate you, rate you, break you and shake you. How strong you stand is what makes you. 
  • Apologizing doesn't mean your right or wrong, it just means you value your relationship more than your ego. 
  • When you set out to be original, be prepared to be copied! 
  • When you sense someone is competing with you, you've already won. 
  • If people are talking behind your back, congratulations! It means you're far in front.

Measure of happiness

The best moments in life are priceless as they can only be recalled not relived. Measure your happiness not by how much your worth is but how worth it being alive is.

Humankind's everlasting point of conflict

"Religious bigotry has existed from time immemorial. Religious bigotry manifests itself as a holier-than-thou attitude towards others. The religious bigot has in his/her head the idea that those belonging to his/her religious groups will be saved and the rest will go to hell. They firmly believe that they and they only have a special connection with the Almighty and that which others lack. This in turn leads them to think that only they have His special favors and others do not."

Extinction of a World's (Last) Language

(http://news.discovery.com/human/the-65000-year-old-language-goes-extinct.html)

"When eighty-five year-old Boa Sr. died on January 10, 2010, she took with her the last of her native language of Aka Bo (also called Bo). Boa Sr was an Indian Great Andamanese elder in the Andaman Islands of India; she was also the only person of the roughly 52 remaining natives in her village who remembered any Bo, so when she died the language became the world's most recent language to go extinct.

Extinct languages are different than “Dead” languages because dead languages (like Latin and Sanskrit) are kept alive by scholars who study them. Extinct languages are permanently gone when the last native speaker dies. Though Aka Bo is the most recent language to disappear, it may not remain the world's last forever. It is estimated that half of the nearly six thousand languages spoken in the world will become extinct within the next 200 years."
