Once gone, forever gone, The time that's misused . Once gone, forever gone, The word once it's spoken. Once gone, forever gone, The opportunity one wasted. Once gone, forever gone, The occasion that's missed. Once gone, forever gone, The day that is forgotten. After the completion of an action, you can't go back.  Once it's done, it's done.  So before regret has the chance to haunt you, think. Think before every word, every action, because What is done cannot be undone.

"Perseverance”, in my eyes, is something that makes common people stand out. Everything you want to succeed in, comes back to perseverance. You may be extremely talented, you may be outstandingly smart, but without the push of  perseverance,  it really doesn't matter.  Perseverance gives us the ability to see our dreams become reality.

One of the basic rules of this universe is that NOTHING IS PERFECT We all have our flaws, we all have our dents, and our scratches, we have our broken smiles and weird personalities. But that's who we are and it's okay. It's okay to be perfectly imperfect. Nothing in this world is flawless. Perfection simply doesn't exist. Without imperfection, humans would have nothing to learn and nothing to strive for. Perfection is impossible because it means being flawless, it means not being able to make mistakes, not being able to misunderstand, it means not being human. The term "human" means that you will make blunders, it means you will fail, but it's all to overcome with experience, to learn, and to grow. Your mistakes are what have gotten you where you are and your faults are what have made you who you are. Remember: "We all have imperfections, and that's perfectly okay!"

I feel envy is like looking through a microscope, finding those small differences between your life and another's, it is like counting someone else's blessings instead of yours.  Its a cycle of looking at what other people possess, then looking at what you have and feeling the need to have more. It's a cycle that looks very hard to get out of, but in reality,  It is as simple as feeling happy for what other people are blessed with instead of crying over what you are not. [Read that again] The color of envy is clearly dark, but, is there some angel to its figure? According to  studies done at Texas Christian Universit y,  envy increases memory and cognitive function. A good thing?  Evidently not.  The only thing the subjects were sharper about were the objects of their envy.   Some argue envy is positive because it challenges us to reach higher and be better. But another in the same set of studies revealed that envy reduced subjects’ abilities to comple...

  "If you want to fly ,   you have to give   up  everything   that   weighs  you down" ~ Toni Morrison  In life, it is very necessary to remove the burden that's pulling you down, to push away those things that are preventing you from flying high, to cut loose those strings attached to you. Some times those things are pretty hard to just loose, some times there are a lot of emotional attachments with those things. But if those things are drawing you back, it's most beneficial to stay away from them. When I say "stay away" I mean to let go of all the close or even the people that you are not familiar with that keep trying to pull you down.                                  First, we need to identify those kinds of people, then, its time to let go and fly high.

  "Wake up with determination, Go to bed with satisfaction." Easy right? no, there is much more to productivity than you think, it is not just what you do with time but how you run your mind during that particular amount of time. It is rightly said by Paul J. Meyer: Productivity is never an accident. It is always a result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort. Being productive means setting goals for yourself, higher every time, every time you reach your goal, and when you do that your self-esteem rockets. This causes you to keep challenging yourself. Striving towards overcoming those obstacles that you set for yourself gives you energy, focus, and conviction. You'll do more with the time you have. There certainly aren't enough hours in a day to meet up with all the things we wish to do and all our demands. Being productive gives us a chance to find time, the time that we thought never existed. This allows us to do more in lesser time...

A Universe that was Never Meant to be Ours By Annanya Desai As I lay down, on the mighty green grass, and look above into infinity, the snowflakes that I see, just countless stars, that seem to go on for eternity, Diamonds on velvet black, I wonder, are they all ours? or just aliens mocking humanity,  Showing off and revealing our scars, While we are busy flattering our vanity, Thinking that Earth was meant to ours Won't stop the fact that it's a fallacy, Won't stop the fact that we were meant to be stuck behind the bars, Of aliens that left behind a powerful legacy. WIll we reach as far as the red-brown mars? And take on the responsibility, Of colonizing it, so someday there we will drive our cars, Still disrespecting our powerful ability, To conquer a universe that was never meant to be ours? Hey! Don't you ever get lost in your thoughts thinking about questions like How humans ever came into place? Well, that is exactly what I was doing and I started wondering what i...
