at some junctures of life when life looks to be moving very slow its is always good to recollect the insipirational ones to boost your energies and keep going. So go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.Keep interested in your own career, however be humble; it is a real possession in the changing of fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism.Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less then the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you may conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.With all it's sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. did any of these inspire you?

well said princeofasia. kids are always a living inspiration to their parents as much as the parents are to their kids.

hi dubiamt. who am i to forgive you friend? everyone has his own say on what is placed under his eyes. even i do. but i dont mind if you read something like this before and some issues may be in line with what you might have read. its natural there will be some points in common when many people talk on a single topic. anyway i believe in living as i am and make the best or bring out the best out of me when all my thoughts are culminating to burst out. it is simple to be happy but it is difficult to be simple. this inspires me every second when i am awake or when i am asleep. hope this inspires you as well....
