Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it,

casts the shadow of our burden behind us.

Scottish Author: Samuel Smiles..

British scientists were eager to try out their new air pollution monitoring equipment – to their amazement, readings in Newcastle, England, showed that it was the most polluted city in England, if not the world. What could possibly be causing these extraordinarily high results? A strange hitherto undiscovered weather anomaly? A series of gigantic coal plants that had somehow been overlooked?

In time, the true reason was discovered. Technicians had forgotten to double-check where in Newcastle their equipment had been placed – by a junior staffer. It was in a parking lot where dozens of diesel trucks came and went twenty-four hours a day!

Well, it did say, this was a Park!

The worst part about being over the hill

is not being able to recall ever being on the top of it.

Take the first step in faith.

You don’t have to see the whole staircase.

Just take the first step.

Martin Luther King,

The trouble with the straight and narrow path – is that it runs through such desolate territory.

The trouble with experience – is that it usually teaches you something you really didn’t want to know.

The trouble with being punctual – is that nobody is there to appreciate it.

A person whose house is only open on the west, can’t see the sun rise at dawn;

it’s only seen when the sun sets at dusk.

If one tries to compare the colour and appearance of the two,

one will go on arguing forever.

The fault lies not with the vision, but with the closed windows.

If you look out of only one opening till the day you die,

you’ll never see anything new.

Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay.

Don’t resent growing old.

Some people never have the opportunity.
