Of Ends And Beginnings

By Marguerite Theophil , The Times of India, Ranchi (Saturday, January 1, 2011) A gift of a bracelet from Ghana at first looks like a series of linked hearts, but on closer inspection i notice a stylised bird.

DON’T GIVE UP ..........

Don’t give up whatever life brings Continue to move forward & strive to succeed Don’t give up on your hopes and dreams But hold on to them diligently. No one said life would never be tough No one said things would never be rough. It’s easy to be strong When things are going well, But it takes extra courage When things aren’t so well. If what comes your way does not break you, Then all it can do is to strengthen you. And in a little while, it will shape you – Into a tougher, wiser, and more confident person. Relax if need be, but do not give in. Remain strong and don’t be beaten. Your strength is not in giving in But in not quitting and in hoping to WIN. (I found it today in an old diary, which I had noted from a magazine (perhaps WISDOM) 14 years ago)
