Philosophy
Make life a learning experience. And learn from the heart.
The beauty of all things lies in your ability to appreciate them.
If you want something in life, reach out and grab it!
It is our light, not our darkness, that we shall reinforce.
If you care only for yourself, others will begin to care less for you.
Live in a way able to lead you to the feeling of being useful.
«Be the change you want to see in the world.» - Mahatma Gandhi.
«You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.» - John Lennon.
