your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
To be joyous in life, a few bites to eat in peace, pouring rains or cool breeze are
sufficient... Whereas for reasons to be sad, you can write thousands of books on
it.

If you can have everything at fifty that you wanted when you were fifteen, you're happy.
