Image life as a game in which you are playing some five balls in the air. You name them—work, family, health, friends and spirit, and you’re keeping all these balls in the air.

You understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be marked, damaged or even broken into pieces. They will never be the same. You must understand the balance in your life. How?

Don’t reduce your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because each of us are special.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to meet risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be taken back.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don’t let life go away by living in the past or in the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be enjoyed slowly each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That’s why we call it—the present.
