the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.

tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi

In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic; a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts; an enabler rather than a reformer.

A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something.
