“A strong wind is blowing and there are little crests of foam on the waves. Look carefully at the millions of shimmering white bubbles rising and then vanishing with each wave. Over and over again, new bubbles come to the surface and then vanish in time with the waves. For a brief moment they are lifted on the wave’s crest and then they sink down and are seen no more. We are like that. Each one of us no more than a tiny glimmering thing, a sparkling droplet on the waves of time which flow past beneath us into an unknown, misty future. We leap up, look around us and, before we know it, we vanish again. We can hardly be seen in the great river of time. New drops keep rising to the surface. And what we call our fate is no more than our struggle in that multitude of droplets in the rise and fall of one wave. But we must make use of that moment. It is worth the effort.”

“A strong woman
She is one who face's the world boldly
Even while her heart is breaking
The one who carries the pain of others
While her own pain is hidden from the world
The one who sheds tears at night
And in the day she laughs like there is nothing in this world that could break her
The one who could mother any child
Yet she has none of her own
The one who is a good daughter
And doesn't get treated accordingly
The one who always loves immensely
But the one she adores has no idea
A strong woman is hard working
She is dedicated
Her strength isn't based on her material wealth
Neither is it based on a bank balance
Her strength is based on the world she carries on her shoulders
