LOVE, Kloudiia

We can learn a lot from trees: they’re always grounded but never stop reaching heavenward.

~ Everett Mamor

The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

                        ~ Allan K. Chalmers

There are two things to aim at in life; first to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind has achieved the second.

                ~ Logan Pearsall Smith

We don’t laugh because we’re happy. We’re happy because we laugh

~ William James

Our stories are singular, our destiny is shared.

                            ~ Barrack Obama, US president-elect 2008

Why does this particular sentence hit me out of the entire acceptance speech Mr. Barack Obama, US President-Elect in 2008 gave at Chicago, minutes after he was confirmed his place at the White House?

I’m not kidding. When I first heard of this, it just jumped out at me. How one destiny is shared among billions of people in the world, each with a story of their own to tell. Maybe that sounds too large-scale, but we can always shrink it down into our own perspective, and see how our lives are co-related with each other, can’t we?

The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.

He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.

                                                                  ~ Lao Tzu
