FEW QUOTES OF WISDOM!!

We cannot escape fear.
We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures..
Take a risk a day--one small or bold stroke that will make you feel great once you have done it.
(Susan Jeffers)

What makes someone a hero?Napoleon maintained,''True heroism consists in being superior to the misfortunes of life.''
To have never tasted failure,defeat or misfortune is not heroism or happiness,for that matter.
A truly heroic way of life lies in squarely confronting and courageously overcoming the pounding vicissitudes that life always throws in our paths.
(Daisaku Ikeda)

Develop interest in life as you see it:in people,things,literature,music--the world is so rich,simply throbbing with rich treasures,beautiful souls and interesting people.
Forget yourself.
(Henry Miller)
