I was raised to treat people exactly how I would like to be treated by others. It's called respect.
Everybody values respect. One can never get anything until he starts giving. One should always treat others the way they want themselves to be treated. It's all about principles. When you take a step forward and start treating people kindly and properly, you show who you are. It's not about getting back what you give; it is about reflecting your values and morals.
Grief changes shape but it never ends.
Grief is constant. There is no escape from grief. Happiness, grief, melancholy- all of these are parts of life. Grief shows us how valuable happiness is.

If you have been brutally broken but still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings, then you're a badass with a heart of an angel.
When life tries to put you down, you should have the ability to stand up again. When we go through hell, we become unkind and colder. We try to hurt others because we have been hurt ourselves. Everyone faces bad days in different phases of their lives. We should never become a bad person under any circumstances. We should not reciprocate the bad things which have been done to us. We should be kind to others.
You have to change your life if you're not happy, and wake up if things aren't going the way you want.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget to take the time out to enjoy the beauty in life.
We live in a busy world. All of us are busy with our lives. More often than not we try to focus on making our life better than before and in the process of doing so, we overlook what we have. We should take out time and look at the things we have and be thankful for them. We should try to look at the silver linings of the clouds.

It's fun to be hopelessly in love. It's dangerous, but it's fun.

One should live a simple life and try to have good health, which is much more important than money and wealth.
