St. Andrews, Scotland, is one pf the most beautiful and scenic places that I have lived in. It's an amazing experience of my life. The University of St. Andrews is the oldest and most prestigeous University in Scotland, now more than 600 years old. I am proud of my past association with St. Andrews, and The University of St. Andrews....the best memories of my education in the United Kingdom.

.....the personal commitment to Integrity means: Speaking the honest truth at all times, even though it might hurt the listener, and create conflicts for you personally. It also means never to settle for anything less than what you deserve in your relationships with others. Living with Integrity is not easy, because she demands your total commitment to your personal values that must be higher than ordinary. She also expects you to make choices based on what you believe, and not what others tell you to believe. All being said, living with Integrity even for a day is million times better than countless years of life without her. A life with Integrity is the only life well lived, in my view. So go ahead, take that bold step, and live the life with Integrity.

Be yourself! Dare to respect yourself before anyone else! Self-respect is the precursor to Courage. Most people realize soon that one of the major regrets of life is yielding to the wishes of others, instead of doing what their heart desired most, and not being themselves. So be yourself, and you'll never regret.

Brilliantly disguised as Hard work, Opportunity always knocks only once, and hence gets missed by many. Temptations, on the other hand, lean on the doorbell and get the welcome reception. Successful persons recognize the true Opportunity hidden within the challenge, and turn it into a great Success Story. Recognize and welcome the Opportunity, when she knocks on your door. Good luck!

Cuando las personas pasan por fase de la negación en vez de aceptar la verdad, no se dan cuenta de que lo que se niegan a aceptar siempre sigue a quedarse con ellos. La vida se mueve tan pronto como aceptamos la pura verdad, porque sólo la verdad puede hacernos libres.

Firework” is a wonderful self-empowerment anthem by Katy Perry, in my view. This highly inspirational song is directed exclusively towards most people with untapped and unrealized potential. The song says loud and clear that every one of us is essentially a firework, which may seem ordinary, ineffective, ugly, or covered in an insignificant wrapping. And yet, when the right situation arises, like a flame brought to a fuse, they would ignite and show how amazing, extraordinary, and beautiful each one of them is in actuality. What an awesome and powerful positive message, and so true too!

I always strive to be objective and well-balanced spectator of the situation, instead of enforcing my personal viewpoints on my readers. I believe that such an elegant approach does the best justice to subject matter. Objectivity is always the key and most important parameter in all processes of Life!

Il n'y a rien à romancer propos de l'obscurité froide et amère de la nuit. Ce qui nous maintient en passant par est l'espoir que, bientôt, la nuit va se terminer, et le premier rayon lumineux du soleil pénétrer l'obscurité pour éclairer notre monde. peu importe combien de temps et lonesome cette nuit pourrait être, la réalité est qu'il finira finalement. Il est l'espoir qui nous maintient en passant par ces taches sombres misérables. Voilà pourquoi il est important de ne jamais perdre espoir. Dum vita est, spes est! Tant qu'il ya la vie, il ya de l'espoir!

Les vrais amis sont comme le soleil qui brille dans le milieu de la tempête, à mon avis. Ils égaient et illuminent votre vie, et apportent souvent de bonheur pour vous, tout comme les rayons du soleil créant un magnifique arc en ciel pendant une tempête violente. Parfois vous avez besoin d'une tempête afin de voir et d'apprécier la beauté divine d'un arc en ciel. Merci Beaucoup. - Deo

Life is always what you make of it. It cannot be yours if you allow others to write on the blank pages of your book of Life. You must take charge, and lead your life the way you believe it should, with the values you believe in. Start writing the chapters of your book of Life with your own wonderful words, not dictated by others. Good luck!

One of the genius writers of 20th century, Hermann Hesse, Nobel Laureate and my most favorite author, wrote: "Most people...are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path." I like this quote, because it is so enlightening and powerful. It's also a constant reminder that you are the Star, and you must maintain your character - no matter what others say or do. Also not to forget that the Star does have ability to turn into Supernova, which brightens the Universe with such a powerful light that can only come from millions of Suns. Always strive to be that shining Star, and ultimately Supernova, to illuminate the world.

Only when we grow up and mature, not just physically but also emotionally, we begin to appreciate that the colossal challenges, the searing sorrow, and the melodramatic melancholy in human life are not there to create agony, anguish and anxiety; but to toughen and to purify the human soul. There is always a purpose behind every act from almighty omnipresent Supreme Power, which we are expected to understand in time, if not right now. This self-realization is a wake up call, a reality check that truly changes our mindset and transforms our behavior thereafter.

Scars are neither something one should feel embarrassed about, nor something one should try to hide. Scars are beautiful, in my view, because they show what you've been through, and how you've come out of that challenging phase of life. Your scars represent your courage, determination and endurance, and that's why they are so beautiful.

Some people bear startling resemblance with lovely Lotus flowers that grow in the mud, and yet rise above the murkier waters as astoundingly beautiful flowers. The mud of adversities, challenges and obstacles doesn't stop their growth, but offers the nourishment and strength to rise above the dirt. I often think that it must be the strong desire, tenacity and perseverance of Lotus flower that makes her so unique in rising above and beyond the normal limitations. Lest we forget, not everything that grows in the mud turns into an elegant Lotus flower. In my view we must strive to develop the same mental strength, perseverance and passion within - so as to grow above the mud of compelling circumstances, hate, hardships, social rejections, and discriminations that we often encounter in the real world. Only then we'll be able to transform into eloquent Lotus flowers, gently opening our soft and supple petals one by one, to make our world most beautiful.

Sometimes in life, you've to let go of things that are not meant for you, no matter how wonderful those may be or how deeply you loved them. It's most important to do it gracefully, respectfully, and with remarkable dignity that you'll be proud of later.

Souvent, lorsque nous sommes moins attendions, la vie met en place un défi vraiment difficile de tester notre courage et notre capacité à combattre. Nous ne devons pas prétendre que rien n'a été fait, mais devons nous lever et faire face à la réalité avec le plus grand courage. Nous devons accepter les faits que le défi ne va jamais à attendre, et que le flux de la vie ne renverse pas. à ces moments de test dans la vie, le courage est ce qui nous permet de tenir debout, relever le défi et de surmonter tous les obstacles. Le courage est ce qui nous rend vraiment qui nous sommes, comme nous nous débattons avec nos démons de triompher. Bonne chance!

Time proves to us that every failure carries the seedlings of success. Every disaster contains within itself the blessings from God. And for every closed door of opportunity, there is always a new door opening a brand new opportunity in life. The point is to first find it and recognize it for its potential value in life- and that can be a tough challenge sometimes! It's easy said than done, and still you got to do it!

When you're surrounded by deepest darkness, it's hard to even think about a ray of Sunshine. Likewise it's difficult to think of justice, when you see the triumph of evil and deceit, and the defeat of truth and honesty all around us. Nonetheless, just as the first ray of Sun penetrates the dark and illuminates our world, the justice of Supreme Power prevails to uproot and smash the evil. The promise is that you will always get double of what was taken away from you; see e.g. the following lines from Holy Book: "Because you got a double dose of trouble and more than your share of contempt, your inheritance in the land will be doubled and your joy go on forever." The justice from Supreme Power shall thus prevail - always! Never lose the Hope and keep your Faith strong!
