Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.

Too strong a media emphasis on death and violence can lead to despair.

The feeling of being happy or unhappy rarely depends on our absolute state, but on our perception of the situation, on our capacity to be satisfied with what we have.

Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.

It is important to reflect on the kindness of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to others' hard work. The buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat, are all provided by others. None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us.

We can only transform humanity and create a happier more compassionate world through education.
