==================

Always remember that you are alone in this life's journey...
So, never look for a soul mate.

No matter how hard you try to keep a relationship, it breaks...
So, never break any relationship.

You will always be judged.
So, it is better to bring out your bads.

You will always have your excuses
So, never try to find fault in others.

You can never win an argument
So, keep quite in a heated argument.

You can never please anybody
So, never listen to what others Say

You can never follow the quotes from the book you like most
So, never stop forwarding good quotes

Love never exists, hence it never dies.
So,stop snding flowers and chocolates on Valentine's day..

Nobody will trust you anyway
So,Follow your heart, do whatever makes you happy...

Follow your Heart

Follow Your Heart…..
My Thoughts...
by Manidipa Bhattacharya
1/29/2011
---------------------
I always beleived in one thing, that is infact quote of my every emails I write….
i.e.., ‘Smile ...because Life is too short’.
Life is actually too short.
I have started the fear of death when I was diagnosed with a deadly desease , few years back.I think everybody at some point in their life will go through this feeling.It is strange but true.Truth is always bitter.
After dealing with a denial phase for quite somtime, you will cry one whole day to accept the truth.Sooner, the better….
That does not mean you will have to be sick.
It could be anything.
Few examples:
If your boyfriend does not love you anymore,but he once told you…now you still take his affection as love and you want to prove you are right!!You are wrong!!
Just let go.
One who wants to go, let them go…
One who returns, will come back to you anyway
One who is gone, was never yours….

What to do?
Go shopping, make friends….

Just remember, anybody and everybody cannot be your friend.
If two people believe in same philosophy, can be friends.
If two people have similar feelings for each other, can be friends.
If two people care for each other, can be friends.

If you find a friend, trust him/her completely
Don’t be afraid of gtting cheated.

It is okay to get cheated by trusting someone.
It is not okay to dis-trusting someone.

Donot expect anything from anybody.
Whether it is your friend,boss,co-worker,enemy,ex-spouse,children,parents,siblings,spouse,boy friend/Girl Friend, cable companies,facebook,banks or your neighbours….

If you get a bonus, just be happy….if not, donot keep blabbering about it all the time.No body has time for you.
If somebody wants to know more about your problems, they are happy that you have problems.

If you are sad, set a timeframe to show your sadness, then get over with it.
If you are upset, set a timeframe to show your upsetness, then get over with it.
If you are angry, set a timeframe to show your anger, then get over with it.

Share your happiness with others, keep your sorrows within.

Follow your heart…….Do it, if you like it. Enjoy, if that makes you happy…..

If a hug makes somebody smile, give them a hug.

Smile…..bcause life is too short!!!
