“Sonnet of Life Lessons Rich is not the one who's got a lot of dough, But one whose touch make others forget their woe. Happy is not the one who's always chasing pleasure, But one who forgets all pleasure helping another grow. Success is not about getting recognition, Success is about achieving excellence beyond norm. Achievement is not when you reach a certain goal, But when your goal lifts others beyond your home. Destiny is not a script written by a superman, But one you write yourself with your labor and sweat. Sanctity is not what priests sell you at the church, But how you behave with others outside the church gate. Nobody can give you lessons of life packed in a few lines. If you know to help another, your heart knows all the lines.”

“You Are The Universe (The Sonnet) You don't carry the torch, you are the torch. You don't build the bridge, you are the bridge. You don't pave the way, you are the way. You don't make peace, you are the peace. You don't build the future, you are the future. You don't build civilization, you are civilization. You don't serve the society, you are the society. You don't work for reform, you are reformation. You don't walk the path, you are the path. You don't lift humanity, you are the humanity. You don't make progress, you are the progress. You don't serve the community, you are community. You don't live in the universe, you are the universe. Dimension destiny unfolds only in the human heart.”
