Hey, it's been a while? How have you been?
ReplyDeleteI usually come over to listen to your playlist and always checked for new posts. I love your round up and agree with all the points. Thanks for sharing.
Nice posts...
ReplyDeleteWonderful list..I agree with it implicitly.
ReplyDeleteHi DSB Greetings:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful words to become wonderful human beings and fantastic success in life. These words of wisdom must be read at least once a day to become a second nature to us. How amazing the world would be if every one thinks on these lines and modifies their lives accordingly.
But some how the last one about rich and famous sounded a bit discordant to all that you have written. I personally feel there is nothing wrong in becoming rich and famous and all of us should strive hard to become some one well known, influential and wealthy. After all most things can be obtained by such people and, if they are kind and generous, they can also do a lot of things to make other poor people's lives a bit easy and reduce the sufferings of the humanity at large. The blood color of the rich and famous is the same as any other human being but it must be appreciated that they are successful people. They used the God given talents to rise above the common people. Perhaps a lot can be written on this but I don't want to go off at a tangent.
Have a wonderful day DSB:)
