Waves of the Life
My grandfather took me to the fish pond on the farm when I was about seven, and he told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone reenex.
"You may create lots of splashes in your life, but the waves that come from those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures," he said. "Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles."
"You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both."
That was the first time I realized that each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger reenex.
We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world,creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life reenex.

Something to Look Forward to
Days spent in expectation come and go really very fast. Very soon I Finished primary school, went to junior and senior school, and finally to college; with ever greater desire for more varied things: for graduation with honors, for an ideal job, for a successful career, for more earnings to share my parents' burden, for a satisfactory wife... Climbing the upward steps of hope I had become a fully grown man before I was aware of it, a busy breadwinner with a family on my hands wedding event management.
Life began to show its various facets. Whether I have turned more vulgar or great, I have always something to look forward to. It may be arrival of a letter, publication of an article, the bonus-distributing day, a gratifying result of something , a get-together or a pleasure trip...Such expectations serve as a prop to a person's faith in life.
A day without hope would be unimaginably pale. There must be something to look forward to each day to brighten one's life and keep it out of shadows. To a person cherishing hopes every morning rises a new sun. Even if it is a fantasy or an illusion , so long as it shows a ray of hope it still urges you on in pursuit of that little sparkle without letup.
Deprived of moisture content, soil turns into desert. Deprived of hope, what is there left to a person? A small hope sustains a person for a day, a great one for a lifetime.
Human beings cannot do without something to look forward to.
