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.

Quotations
Life
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
We never live; we are always in the expectation of living.
-Voltaire
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
-Ernest Hemingway
It can only take a moment to waste the rest of your life.
-Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk
"Snuff"
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
-Rabindranath Tagore
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
-Deep Trivedi
Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat and man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs.
-Sri Chaitanya "Sri Chaitanya"
The evil ruler spoils the word, the plan of life, by his teachings. He, indeed, deprives me of the exalted goal of good thought. With the word of my spirit, I pray to You, O Wise One, and to truth!
-Scriptures "Avesta, Yasna 32.9"
