Un résumé de l'ensemble de la vie se trouve juste en face de nous, dans les processus perpétuel de re-oxydation et de désoxydation des atomes d'hydrogène, dans une seule goutte d'eau .... c'est aussi l'essence de la vie sur notre planète terre et de l'univers, par la grâce de Dieu.

La vie humaine est souvent comparée à un jardin de roses. Il est parfaitement logique pour moi. que nous marchons à travers le jardin, nous sommes toujours rafraîchi et rajeuni par la brise qui transporte la capture étonnamment parfum exquis de belles fleurs tout autour. La vie semble si merveilleux en ce moment même. Et, en certaines occasions, un spectacle de plantes séchées, avec des pétales secs qui traînent, cueilli des fleurs et des tas de feuilles mortes morts tout autour de nous attrister beaucoup. Une brise froid brutal nous fait frissonner avec le chèque de la sombre réalité choquante. La vie peut être si incroyable et magnifique, et pourtant peut être si froid et cruel parfois .... comme un jardin de roses.

Life is governed by two basic laws. First is the Law of Karma; i.e. what you sow is what you reap in future, or what goes around always comes around. Second is the Law of Connection; i. e. Even though we feel something we do is inconsequential, it's still very important to get it done, because everything in our Universe is very well connected. So it's worth remembering that each step leads to the next step, even though the significance of their connectivity is not apparent prima facie, and everything we do creates our Karma, either good or bad or ugly, and that is guaranteed to return. Complexities of life are so simplified and condensed within these two simple laws. How interesting!

Manage your Anger, because Anger is a highly deceptive and self-destructive sword. Anger would totally destroy the person who possesses it rather than the people against whom it gets directed. Greek Mythology also teaches us that when Gods wish to destroy someone, they always make her/him angry first. So, manage your Anger effectively, for your own sake, so that Anger would never be able to destroy you; never ever!

The most interesting aspect of Life is that it always goes on - either with or without you. Life also moves pretty fast, regardless of whether you take nothing away or you put nothing back. The truth remains that empires collapse and civilizations disappear, and yet Life goes on. La Vie Continue!

七転び八起き or 'Nanakorobi yaoki' is a famous Japanese inspirational proverb. It means 'Fall seven times and stand up eight.' There is nothing surprising or nothing unusual in getting knocked down in life. It happens to everyone, at least once in one's lifetime. It's a given, if you will. What matters in life is not getting knocked down, but getting up and standing taller than ever before. The people, who clearly understand the purpose of Life, do it successfully. They never give up, no matter how often they get knocked down, or how hard the get hit.

Après la longue période de temps chaud et sec, est la première pluie de la saison la création d'un parfum exquis éloquente dans l'air - une odeur terreuse qui imprègne et flotte tout autour de nous, rafraîchissant nos esprits et de rajeunir nos vies. Je aime ce puissant parfum de séduction - émanant de l'union tant attendue de pluie tendre et douce tombe à terre soif sèche, et d'inciter une intimité instantanée dans l'air. Intéressant, cet élégant parfum envoûtant a un nom aussi. ça se appelle "petrichor"; un mot composé dérivé de la langue grecque - comprenant "petra" qui signifie «la pierre», et «ichor» qui signifie «le fluide qui coule dans les veines des dieux" selon la mythologie grecque. à mon avis, petrichor est sûrement un parfum divin qui doit être un cadeau du pouvoir suprême. Si ma vie était un parfum, je aurais sûrement l'aime à sentir comme Petrichor.

Empathy means putting yourself in someone else's shoes, and to think with someone else's heart and mind, so that you can understand where the other person comes from. Empathy is the greatest virtue in any relationship, personal as well as professional alike. When you are able to empathize, you not only make great bonds with others, but also create overall positivity in society. You don't have to experience either pain or struggle yourself to empathize, for empathy will come straight from your heart and will flow in your veins - when it's already there. Cheers!

Il ya environ 140+ ans, le 20 mai 1873, le brevet nous 139,121 couvrant l'invention des «jeans» a été délivré à deux inventeurs américains, Jacob Davis et Levi Strauss. La plupart des inventeurs, encore aujourd'hui, souhaitent secrètement qu'ils avaient inventé les jeans, en raison de la beauté et de la grâce, couplé avec simplicité et confort, que les jeans bleus ont créé dans notre monde. I aime porter des jeans casual wear que pendant les week-ends. Je pense aussi que chaque fois qu'une célébrité ou une beauté ou un génie porte des jeans, il fait toujours déclaration de mode les plus percutants.

In my view, a man who treats every woman as a Royal Princess is an absolute living proof that he himself was born and raised in the arms of a Queen.

Many of us are like Lotus flower that grows in the mud, and yet rises above the murkier muddy waters as an astoundingly beautiful flower, opening her petals one by one. The mud of adversities, challenges and obstacles don't stop her growth, but probably offer the nourishment and strength to rise above that mud. I often think that it's the strong desire, tenacity and perseverance of Lotus flower that must make her so unique in accomplishing way above and beyond the norms; because not everything that grows in the mud turns into an elegant Lotus flower. We must strive to build the same mental strength, perseverance and passion within - so as to grow above the mud of compelling circumstances, hardships, social rejections, and discriminations that we often experience in real world. Then only we will be able to transform into the eloquent Lotus flowers, gently opening our soft splendid petals one by one to make our world most beautiful.

Modern life is full of challenges, such as daily demands, deadlines, hassles and frustrations. Whenever the threat of any challenge outweighs one's perception of her/his ability to manage that threat, it can be an onset of Stress. I find it interesting that William Shakespear had offered a perfect strategy to manage the Stress - in his famous play "Hamlet". In this play, Hamlet makes a powerful statement: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." In this one sentence, Shakespear teaches us that if we change our thoughts about a potentially threatening situation, we should be able to not only cope with the stress, but also lower our stress significantly. By now it's a well-established fact in Psychology that thinking positively, and transforming the threat into a potntial opportunity, empowers us to protect ourselves from the harmful side-effects of Stress.....and William Shakespear knew this fact more than 400 years ago. That's amazing!

Positive thinking often helps while coping with stress in life. However there can be occasions when it may not work for you, and you may get overwhelmed with negative thoughts. At that crossroad, you should make a turn, even a U-turn if necessary, and confront your negative thoughts fearlessly. You should now combat those negative thoughts one by one, mercilessly - by using scientific and analytical reasonings, and demanding substantiating evidence from negative thoughts. Once you start defeating those negative thoughts as irrational or unfounded or baseless, you'll find yourself getting close to the realm of positivity. Combating negativity ruthlessly - that's a new tool in your tool box along with your favorite hammer of positive thinking! Cheers!

You cannot go back in time and make a good start, but you can always start from where you are right now and make a fantastic finish. Life changes in the blink of an eye. Yet for an optimist, life also offers millions of opportunities at any juncture, anywhere, any time. Always be prepared to dance with Opportunity when she taps on your shoulder - because then only you'll be able to tap the power of "Now"!

Enjoy this moment, the present, right now. In the blink of an eye, the world can change, and you may never get your second chance to enjoy such moments again. It's true that Time waits for no one. So, go ahead and enjoy the powerful "Now" right now. Make a great day!

For everything in this universe, Mother is the beginning. Mother's voice is the first voice we hear, even before we are born. Mother's love knows no bounds. It's far deeper than the deepest oceans; and in my view, that's the only ocean of unconditional love we'll ever find in this world. Holy Book tells us, in Genesis: "And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." I encourage you to cherish your Mother, with love, respect and honor.....that's the best way to celebrate Mother's Day.

If you are standing for a reason, stand like a tree, strong, mighty and tall. If you are falling, fall like a seed that germinates and creates a new tree in this world. Our world surely needs many more trees than what we have today!

In a single drop of water lies an epitome of the whole of life, right in front of us, in the continuous cycles of oxidation and de-oxidation of the Hydrogens therein.

Life is never static, and that's what I find most beautiful. It is beautiful, because of its ups and downs, twists and bends, roundabouts and straight roads, and ebbs and flows in general. Nothing is permanent, and only constant is the constant change. "Even this shall pass" is the mantra and a constant reminder for us, on every occasion when we feel excited with life's flows, and also in the darkest moments when we feel down and out with life's ebbs. The disappointments, betrayals, feelings of helplessness, being alone, all these will be ebbing away, as the life goes on. It's amazing how life can be so kind and good, and at the same time so bitter and cold....and yet everything shall pass. So enjoy today, and live this moment to the fullest, enjoying life's ebbs and flows.

Never underestimate the powers and prowess of your small efforts. Think of the "Butterfly Effect", which underscores the fact that even a tiny butterfly stirring the calm air in California can transform severe storm systems next month in Korea.
