Life is a long lesson in humility.  I would rather be a little nobody than to be an evil somebody.  Everyone wants to be the sun to lighten up someone's life, but why not be the moon, to shine in someone's darkest hour ?  Be someone who leaves a mark in people's lives, not a scar; who lifts people up, not casts them down; who brings out the best in people and not the stress in them.  When a bird is alive, it eats ants.  When the bird is dead, ants eat the bird.  When the flood comes, the fish eat ants.  But when the water dries, the ants eat fish.

The universe will never require you to set yourself on fire to provide heat for others.  Good actions bring good results; bad actions bring bad results.  What goes around comes around.  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  Every action must have a reaction.  Don't seek revenge.  The rotten fruits will fall by themselves.  Holding a grudge doesn't make you strong; it makes you bitter.  Forgiving doesn't make you weak; it sets you free.  You cannot do harm to someone because someone has done harm to you.  You will pay just like they will.  People pay for what they do, and, still more, for what they have allowed themselves to become.  And they pay for it simply by the lives they lead.  How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.  If the good is sown, the good is collected.  When positive things are made, that returns well.  You can't do ugly things to people and expect to live a beautiful life.  Be a light for those who lost their will to burn.

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.  When you destroy someone's life with lies, take it as a loan, it will come back to you with interest.  Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.  A promise means everything, but once it is broken, sorry means nothing.  Trust is like glass.  Once broken, it will never be the same again.  It's not always the tears that measure the pain.  Sometimes it's the smile we fake.  People may not always tell you how they feel about you, but their actions will speak for themselves.

Life is full of joy and full of great sorrow, but you can't have one without the other.  Sometimes, you must hurt so you can heal.  Fall so you can rise again, lose so you can gain.  End so you can start again.  Some of life's greatest lessons come from the worst pain.  Moments become memories and people become lessons.  Don't let a few bad memories stop you from having a good life.  You cannot have a beautiful life if you always focus on ugliness in others.  Don't let the ugly in others kill the beauty in you.  When things go wrong, don't go with them.  Do good and good will come to you.  Never play with the feelings of others.  Because you may win the game, but the risk is that you will surely lose the person for a life time.

Never stop being a good person because of bad people.  Do what you think is right, not what people think is right.  Never regret being a good person to the wrong people.  Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.  If you want to live a peaceful life, accept yourself for who you are, and respect others for who they are.

Never apologize for having high standards.  People who really want to be in your life will rise up to meet them.
