If we could stop for a minute to solve real
problems facing humanity, instead of imaginary problems mystified with complex
mathematics and vocabulary, we may be convinced to realize that education would
have been one of the most luxurious adventures of mankind. If we don't have
time to read a book in the New Year 2015, at least let us read and inculcate
the thoughts of this message. It may make us think, to think is to expand, to
expand is to gain and the thought process goes on. If we look on the bright
side of things, we shall find enough to make us cheerful and
happy. The most powerful thing in life... is our thinking, which has ability to
change any situation. We often make two mistakes in our search of inner
peace... focusing on things we cannot change, and ignoring things we can
change.
As we all know that if we give smiles, they
will be returned to us; if we speak pleasant, cheerful words, they will be
spoken to us again. Our own words are the bricks and mortar of the
dreams we want to realize. Our words are the greatest power we have. The words
we choose and their use establish the life we experience. Therefore let us live
our moments for what we are, not for what we may become. Let us always
find time to tell those people we love, that we love them, care for them, or
whatever they mean to us in our life. Life is precious, and we need to be
grateful for each day we are given. We should not have only dreams but set
goals and achieve what we would otherwise dream! Let us smile in trouble that
can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Time
heals all wounds, but only wisdom keeps them from reopening.
Making hundreds of friends is not
a miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend like you who will stand by
our side even when thousands are against us. The limitations of us are our own
creation, designed to provide cover for our unwillingness to try. We should never
be afraid to change our vision, set new goals, and challenge ourselves. Life is
best experienced without boundaries; so let us live each day ceremoniously. In fact we
are not bound to succeed, but we are bound to live by the light that we have.
Let us stand with those whose stands are right, and remain with them while they
are right. Let us seize the present opportunity; work with dedication
and sincerity and enjoy it; this is the best reward that we can give to
ourselves.
As we all came here, into this
life, with our own music to play; each of us our own set of notes. Let's all
play together nicely so that the world becomes a sweet music along the
manuscript of life.
With these few words i wish you, your
family and friends a very happy and successful year ahead.
