When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn’t understand the assignment.

I think WTT needs a like button
I think a set of buttons as per some other forums would very handy, though this has been discussed before. Unfortunately it seems that WTT may not be receiving the likes of a Report button or a Reputation button(Like/Dislike).
However, you can always comment.

Teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change. Learning is more than absorbing facts, it is acquiring understanding. -William Arthur Ward
"Evil men seeking empire did not make us or the world this way. We made their existence possible through our denial, love of ease and non accountability".Joe Bageant (1946-2011). "Running ahead of the pack, a glint in each eye, of many miles passed by". I said that.
"No one yet knows with absolute certainty the outcome of our terrible common plunge towards truth. But even in the worst of times,there is glory in the sheer electricity of life, the expression of it's juiciness, those moments when the enternal fecundity of the flesh struts by in a tight skirt, or perhaps sporting the perfect unshaven jaw, offering everything and nothing". (Joe Bageant).
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediment.
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, nor bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no!
It is an ever fixed mark, which looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark whose worth's unknown, although it's height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within His bending sickle's compass come.
Love alters not with His brief hours and weeks, but bears it out, even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
~Sonnet #116~
by William Shakespeare
1 Corinthians 13 1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels,
~but do not have love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith that can move mountains,
~but do not have love,
I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,
~but do not have love,
I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies,
they will cease;
where there are tongues,
they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge,
it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and
we prophesy in part,
10 but when completeness comes,
what is in part disappears.
11 When I was a child,
I talked like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I put the ways of childhood behind me.
12 For now we see only a reflection
as in a mirror;
then we shall see
face to face.
Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain:
~faith,
~hope and
~love.
But the greatest of these
~ is love.
~Quotes From A Letter~
To: The Corinthians
From: St. Paul
Taken from my local forum :
The Buddha explained how to handle insult and maintain compassion.
One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."
Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"
The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."
The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."
"If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy."
The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Buddha. "You are right, o Enlightened One, "he said. "Please teach me the path of love. I wish to become your follower."
The Buddha answered kindly, "Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants to learn. Come with me."
Beautiful Quotes
If you are right then there is no need to get angry
And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.
Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence, and
Patience with GOD is faith.
Never Think Hard about PAST,
It brings Tears…
Don't Think more about FUTURE,
It brings Fears…
Live this Moment with a Smile,
It brings Cheers.!!!!
Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is ours whether we become victim or victorious !!!
Search a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.
Beautiful things are not always good
but good things are always beautiful.
Remember me like pressed flower in your Notebook.
It may not be having any fragrance
but will remind you of my existence forever in your life.
Do you know, why God created gaps between fingers?
So that someone who is special to you, comes and fills those gaps by holding your hands forever.
"One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision." Bertrand Russell.
(For all my fellow Aussies and our New Zealand neighbours, on this very special day, a day to remember and reflect upon those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, not only for our islands, but the world as a whole, Thankyou!)
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them! Lest we forget!
#1. Love God Above All Else
#2. Love Your Neighbor As You Love Yourself
#3. Love Yourself As God Loves You
Surprisingly for some, #3 is the most difficult to consistantly apply.
Effectiveness, ability and consistancy to apply #1 and #2 is proportionate to the degree of ability to effectively apply #3.
Where A = ability for effective and consistant application:
[A(#1) + A(#2)] : [A(#3)]
Additionally, degree of difficulty in application of #3 is proportionate to the degree effectiveness and ability to apply #1 and #2 is compromised.
[-A(#3)] : [-A(#1 + #2)]
