Shut up! After all it's the wisest thing to do.

At times, even the Sun’s brightness
is overshadowed by clouds.
Why can’t yours?

No matter how dark and dense the clouds may be,
Sun will shine back.
And it will shine the brightest.
Why can’t you

Do not make your aim like the garden
because everyone walk on it

But make your aim like
the sky so everyone
wish to touch it.

When
There’s more
Doubt than trust
But
Life is at its strongest
When you learn
How to trust
In spite of
The doubts …

If you can't beat them, you join them!
