This is a topic i like. I consider wisdom words as answers to the questions of life. Let me start with these:              >the secret of living is giving                     >be humble or you'll stumble                   >the more you look back, the less you get ahead. There's no future in the past                >to win the race you have to stay on the track                      >the fist rule of winning is... Dont beat yourself                      >if you suceed, try something harder.                         ...more to come

Be excellent of what is good,be innocent of evil.

the way they are and say, 'Why?

EMPTY PROMISES!
Promises made promises broken,
promises made by the down trodden.
Words are said,vows are made ,
the mouth has spoken
but the promise made is forgotten
when the heart is no longer broken and the mind is no longer solemn.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

Do u believe that your dream is your desire, your desire is your sentiments, your sentiment is your love, your love is your heart, your heart is your spouse, your spouse is your future, your future is your destiny, your destiny is your ambition, your ambition is your inspiration, your inspiration is your motivation, your motivation is your belief, your belief is your peace, your peace is your target, your target is heaven and heaven is your home?

Do not close your eyes for bad things cos you may not know when good things will pass.

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going

The journey of a million years starts in a day

Time and tide waits for nobody

Slow and steady wins the race
