Quotes & Thoughts to Inspire
=========================

Relationship is the rainbow between two hearts shaking seven colors of feelings, love, sadness, happiness, truth, faith, secret & respect.

One thing to learn from life is that getting UPSET will never sort out any issue, but getting ‘UP’ to ‘SET’ the things to right will help a lot in life. Life is a journey with problems to solve and lessons to learn but most of all.... Experiences to Enjoy.

Patience and Politeness are not our weaknesses. They are infact the reflection of our inner strength. Never loose both In Life. 

Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge… is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.
- Bill Bullard

Become very, very discreet. Remove even the slightest trace of anger. Whatever you think, whatever you say, consider carefully all the consequences beforehand. By performing actions knowing their consequences, success is definitely experienced.


In Lighter Sense
==============

Stop or Slowdown

A lawyer is driving a car down the street and instead of stopping at the stop sign, the lawyer slows down. A policeman sees this and pulls the car over and asks the man why he didn't stop at the stop sign. "It's the same thing," the lawyer stated, "I don't believe there is a difference between stop and slow down." "Allow me to prove it to you," the policeman said. He asks the lawyer to step out of his car and suddenly starts hitting him with his baton. After a lot of pain that the lawyer endured, the policeman asked him, "Now do you want me to stop, or slow down?"
