Do not let your fire go out, spark by an irreplaceable spark,

in the hopeless swamps of the approximate,

the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish,

in lonely frustration for the life you deserved,

but have never been able to reach.

Check your road and the nature of your battle.

The world you desired can be won.

It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country.

One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony.

He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?"

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.

There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.

Some of us waste our time waiting for people

to live up to our expectations.

We are so concerned about what others are doing

that we don't do anything ourselves.

Its not so important what others are up to;

compared to what you are doing.

Focus on what you do, your work; Not on others.

Think big, and your deeds will glow.
Think small, and you will fall behind.
Think that you can, and you will.

It is all in the state of mind.

Geniuses know very little about most things and a lot about a few things.

Anyone can give up.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do.

But to hold it together,

when everything seems like falling apart;

That's true strength!
