No exceptions. No complaining. Just the best thing that day, even if it was just a good cup of coffee. This had the effect of starting our evening off on a positive note and it changed our relationship.

And above all, in those eyes I saw that she feels the same about old, arthritic and wrinkled me.

Now three weeks had passed and the old man called the children over to him for the last time, "Children, unfortunately I have no money, so I can't give you any more." The children, "No money, no noise" and so they stopped rubbing the sticks on the balcony railing.

Similarly, the reason we study maths or any other subject is that they help build our mental muscle, develop logical thinking, and help us make sense of the world by recognizing patterns. By studying, we are able to build mental models about the world, so that we can respond to situations more smartly than a monkey or an ape would do."

Parents even express their love openly when introducing their children to people. The tone of their voice says, "I love you" when they say, "He/she is my son/daughter, he/she went to XXX college." The pride in their voices say, "I love them so much, they are my life. I live for them."

If one spends sufficient time in learning, and never gives up, whatever, the conditions will be, I bet, no one can stop him/her from becoming successful.

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

It should be, "Hey Asim, what shall I tell Jake? I suggest we agree to his terms because I feel if we push him any further it'll just delay things by weeks, possibly months. The last time we made a change it took us 7 weeks to get sign off." Look for small ways in which you can add value. And make it a habit.

If you can communicate your thoughts very well to your partner and you have an understanding for each other even when one of you is upset.

I can totally relate to that feeling when she was watching me learn how to walk.
