Sometimes, many unwanted negative situations try to immerse student’s life in sea of failures and disappointments. All doors of dreams appear to shut and everything around begins to fall apart.

It worth a plenty of courage and effort to get rid of depressing feelings and remain positive and stay instigated. According to experts, many thoughts can boost your mood and take them back to right path of success and achievement.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anywa
The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained
I am by heritage a Jew, by citizenship a Swiss, and by makeup a human being, and only a human being, without any special attachment to any state or national entity whatsoever
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves.
I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I. -men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep-hole and missing laundry list school. Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering
We live in a time where “personal happiness” is the ultimate good. It has triumphed over all other goods, even Goodness Himself, God. And the media is doing a really good job promoting this new god.
There is nothing wrong about personal happiness, in its right context. God commands us to be a cheerful giver, so we know He is not a kill joy. But when personal happiness becomes king, that is where the problem starts.
When our personal happiness goes before charity and God, it becomes “personal selfishness”. People have sacrificed everything and everyone for the sake of finding personal happiness (even though they themselves do not know what it is).
The “personal happiness gospel” is often promoted by T.V shows and movies. We watch an unhappy woman leaving everything behind to eat, pray and love. So she ate. She prayed. She loved.
But did she?
I will not go to the eating part, nothing to explain there.
But did she really pray? One aspect of prayer is losing oneself. For Christians, praying is more about God than ourselves. But her prayers were self-centered. She was not reaching up to God. She was grasping at herself, hoping to find herself.
Did she really love? St Thomas Aquinas defines love as “to will the good of the other as other”. But she wanted to love the man on her own terms. And she wanted the man to love her on her own terms. There was no “other” on the equation. Just her.
These kinds of movies and shows reinforce our selfishness, all under the banner of “personal happiness”. A mother leaves her family to “find herself”. A father goes off with another woman because she “gives him what he is looking for”. Children abandon their parents to “explore the world”. Mother’s murder their own unborn child so that her “life won’t be disturbed”.
So what happen to these people who have gone off to leave everyone behind to find themselves?
They find the same self they supposedly left behind. Just more selfish.
The paradox of personal happiness is that it can only happen when you forget yourself in love. It is in loving Jesus first, Others second and Yourself last, that you will find J-O-Y.
There is no joy apart from love. And real love is always joyful.
God (who is Love) created us for love. Love is the air we breathe. And love is not selfish.
If you want to find personal happiness, then don’t make it personal. Be a person for all. Then, true happiness, real joy will happen behind your back.
“For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it
