“The world does not give us very much now; it often seems to consist of nothing but noise and fear, and yet grass and trees still grow."
~ Hermann Hesse 
Some people just act like they are trying to help you. 
“There is a place in the heart that will never be filled,
a space,
and even during the best moments
and the greatest times,
we will know it,
we will know it more than ever.
There is a place in the heart that will never be filled,
and we will wait and wait
in that space.”
– Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense 
“There are people whose death leaves you with an ache of grief. A slight sting. And then there are people whose death stops time. Deaths that leave the sky murky all day long because even the sun is grieving. Deaths that shut down your muscles and stop the music. Deaths that turn every corner of your mind a shade of grey.”
― Patricia Amaro 
“Out of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.”
–Mark Twain 
A man called John Francis took a vow of silence that lasted 17 years in an effort to improve his listening skills. In those years he earned himself a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree and a PHD.
"I said, you know what, I'm just going to shut up for the day," Dr Francis says.
That quiet day brought with it a revelation: that whenever he was speaking with someone with opinions different from his own, he would simply interrupt to press his point of view.
"I realised that I hadn't been listening to anyone, because … I was thinking all the time of what I was going to say back to them," he says.
"I had stopped learning."
That one day turned into 17 years of silent learning.

Important things to remember when you are married or in a serious relationship:
Don’t ever assume your partner feels loved.
Date nights are a must.
Doesn’t matter if you go out, or stay in.
Talking openly about what you want to change in your relationship is important.
Learn each others love language.
We all don’t perceive love the same way.
Go to bed mad sometimes.
Don’t force a resolution.
Sleeping on it does help.
When you get into a fight, don’t just say “I’m sorry”. Say what you are sorry for, and how you will react differently next time.
It will get boring sometimes.
Every couple goes through the “boring” stage.
It’s normal.
It will fade.
This is the time in your relationship you will have to put the most effort in.
Some days you will have to pull more weight than your partner, and vice versa.
It’s important to check in on each other’s mental health.
It’s okay to go to couples counselling.
It helps.
It doesn’t mean you two are ending, or failing.
Talk about money.
Talk about your financial goals.
Let your partner know what you expect from them, and vice versa.
Turn off the phones an hour before bedtime and just talk to each other.
Ask questions like
“What do you need to see more of from me?”
“How can we understand each other better?”
And most importantly, be kind to each other.
Love each other.
Fight for each other.
Remember, love is never easy, and it’s one hell of a ride.
But damn, is it ever beautiful, and worth it. 
How do you even have such friends
"This person took his part, but affected others. He exercised his freedom, but with injustice. Freedom can’t be exercised as everyone wants. Justice disappears when you harm others. I’m not talking about morality, I’m talking about the bad exercise of freedom."
-collected 
Jack Ma once said, 'When Selling to close friends and family, no matter how much you're selling to them, they will always feel you're earning their money, no matter how cheap you sell to them, they still wouldn't appreciate it.'
There will always be people who do not care about your Costs, Time, Effort, they rather let other people cheat them, allowing others to earn, then supporting someone they know. Cause in their heart, they will always be thinking, 'How much did he earn from me?' instead of "How much did he SAVE/MAKE for me?"
This is a classic example of a poor person's mentality!
Jack Ma on Sales: 'When doing Sales, the first people who will trust you will be Strangers, Friends will be shielding against you, fair-weather friends will distance from you. Family will look down upon you.'
The day you finally succeed, paying the bill for every get-together dinner, entertainment, you will realised: Everyone else is present except the Strangers.
Motivational Stories 
Your worth is not measured by how visible you are.
It’s okay not to be the center of attention. Everyone has a unique role to play, even those who work behind the scenes.
So, the next time you feel like you’re not doing enough, remember that your value is not determined by your visibility. Embrace your unique role, whether it’s in the spotlight or behind the scenes.
Because in the end, it’s not about how loud you are, but about the impact you make.

"I don't pay attention
to the world ending.
It has ended for me many times
and began again in the morning."
- Charles Bukowski 
Bert Hellinger said the "black sheep" of the family (they should be called "lions of the family") are actually born seekers of liberation paths for the family tree
"Those who from a young age constantly sought to revolutionize beliefs, leaving the paths marked by family traditions, those criticized, judged and even rejected, those, are usually called to free the tree of repetitive stories that frustrate entire generations."
"Those that do not adapt, those who shout rebellion, play a basic role within each family system; they repair, detoxify and create a new and flourishing branch in the family tree. Thanks to these members, our trees renew their roots. His rebellion is fertile land, his madness is water that nourishes, his stubbornness is new air, his passion is fire that rekindles the hearts of the ancestors."
"Let no one make you doubt, take care of your "rarity" like the most precious flower in your tree.
"You are the dream come true of all your ancestors." 
“The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're okay. They see your strength and assume that you are invulnerable to the trials that others might falter under. They forget that strength can be a mask, a shield against the relentless tide of inner turmoil. In truth, the strongest people often bear the greatest burdens in silence, concealing their wounds behind a façade of resilience.”
– The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger 
Listen
👂 it speaks 
You wake up at 7 a.m., and it's raining outside. Your mother tells you to stay in bed; you won’t be going to school today because of the bad weather. You turn on the TV and watch cartoons. After a while, your mother brings you hot cocoa directly in bed so you can stay warm and cozy. She tucks you in, and you spend the morning peacefully, with no homework or worries.
It was really nice being a child… We were happy without even knowing it.
