31 Ways to Happiness Quotes

“The right way to discover your potential is to experiment in life as much as possible. When you experiment, you will either succeed or fail.

You can now hear the slightest sound of the horn from a vehicle plying on the road, or a conversation between people or the crying of a child in your neighbourhood. When it is night and the silence is deep, you can hear the ticking of your clock. When the silence is even deeper, you can even hear the vibrations of the universe and the beating of your own heart.”

The greater is your goal, the higher is your energy level for achieving the goal and the less time you have to get bored.”
