then it is nothing but the manifestation of your foolishness.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.

"Eleven Minutes"
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
-John Lennon
