Under - Stand

Never confuse bravery from closed - mindedness and pride and neither confuse cowardice from compromise.

More often, a closed - minded person thinks he is brave enough to stand up for what he believes, but actually, it is NOT about what he BELIEVES but rather it's about WHAT HE WANTS. He thinks he is brave enough not to compromise nor bend but the truth is, he is just too scared to lose his pride. Therefore, he is the real coward.

On the other hand, a wise person knows how to understand every angle of the situation. He understands things even though he doesn't agree with it. A wise person knows how to compromise for he knows that BEING BRAVE MEANS YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF COMPROMISING, BEING BRAVE MEANS YOU'RE NOT SCARED TO FORGIVE, TO LOVE, TO ENDURE.

A WISE PERSON KNOWS THAT BRAVERY NEVER COMES WITH PRIDE FOR THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS.

So next time you act with pride, think again... you're not as brave as you think and neither there is WISDOM in you.

...and yes, I always believe that it is wise and brave to always act with kindness.

P. S. Never teach your children to hold grudges and pride in their hearts, for if you do... you're stealing from them real happiness and treasure.

For in getting what I want, I'm also giving someone what he needs.

It's always a pleasure to have a drink that satisfy your taste and at the same time your soul, knowing that each cup gives hope to someone in need.


I'm happy that each year I am able to contribute something to those organizations that this planner is giving in to.

...for it is a pledge of mine that I will never stop supporting Charities, even in my own very little way.

For blue is the color of "what if".

"What if" is a very strong phrase that I don't believe into.
For it is just a state of mind that tries to create chaos in the present life of an individual. Don't get me wrong, I've got "what if's" too, I just don't entertain it.

If you dig a little deeper on every "what if's" in life, you'll realize that it is just an irony of everything you have at the moment, every decisions you have made, every chances you have taken...
Because if you think about it, if you go with your "what if" today, sooner or later you'll be asking yourself again that same question that made you take that risk of the first "what if".
You'll be asking yourself "what if I stayed" or "what if I didn't take that chance".
You see, in every angle there will always be what if's. Whether you take that risk or not, you will always find "what if" in every given situation.

That is the reason why I don't believe in what if's.
But I do believe that we should take risks ONLY IF the risk is worth taking.

And I believe in embracing the present, the moment you have right now.
Because where you are right now was just a part of your decisions before that you wouldn't have done if you don't think it's right.
Where you are right now is just the out come of the risks you have taken before that you wouldn't have taken if you think it didn't worth it - right?

So embrace the beauty of the present situation.
Embrace it like you will never be here again.
And never let "what if" ruin the beauty of what you have at the moment.
