I got an e-mail today with the attachment given below. It had some of the things that I strongly believed in.
One of them is that you always need to hold on to your values and do what you think is right. No matter how bad the situation is, and you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by selling out, don't do it! Even though you won't gain anything by doing the right thing, the plus point is that you don't have to deal with whatever repurcussions that come along with doing the wrong thing.
Another point is to always be aware that there are others in the world you have WAY bigger problems than us. Whenever I get really down or frustrated or unhappy, sometimes I remind myself of people who are living with AIDS or the little children in Africa who are starving for days. At least I'm not going through all of that! But there
are times when nothing seems bigger than my problems!!! :)
The main things in life for me are:
- A house to live in a safe neighbourhood
- Good friends and family
- An interesting job with a reasonable salary
I guess I'm lucky to be blessed with the above, but you can never predict the future. There was a period of time in my life which was sheer hell. One day in Feb 2005 I lost everything I had taken for granted. I had to go through it for around 8-9 months, after which I regained everything I lost. The very first day was unbelievable, I never believed it possible to feel so miserable; cried till I was numb. But as time passed I grew used to it, and it didn't seem so bad. Human nature is such that you can get used to anything given enough time. That first day, I received an e-mail in office with a poem that inspired me so much! It went along the lines of no matter how bad it seems now, to cling on to the belief that it'll get better, and that nothing remains the same. Good times will come, you only need to survive the bad times. I dreamt last night that I was back at that awful time, or that it had happened again. I'm still getting over the nightmare, I guess! :)

It’s nice to find people who still think like you! :) Someone who can be happy with the simple things in life.
Life has wacky sense of humor. You happily plan for things, and bang, life or fate or whatever comes along and does something to turn everything upside down. This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t plan, of course we should. You just don’t give up when things go wrong.
Another point is to always be aware that there are others in the world you have WAY bigger problems than us.
No matter what problems we have on our little Paradise Isle, we are way luckier than some of the people living in Africa and some other parts of the world.
Anyways good luck with ya life
Cheers and Adios!
