About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn new things

PHILOSOPHY

"“The very nature of kindness is to spread.
If you are kind to others,
Today they will be kind to you,
And tomorrow to somebody else."
(Sri Chinmoy)

"No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth."
(Robert Southey)

"To thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
(Hamlet; Shakespeare)
