Tough times test your valor, persistence and ability to make decisions. They force you to fight for your dreams.
Paulo CoelhoGoing to a charity tea party and thinking that you've done your bit toward putting an end to social inequity in the world.
Paulo CoelhoNever asking a direct question, even though the other person can guess what it is you want to know.
Paulo CoelhoYou still haven't managed to heal the scars left by some of the injustices committed against you in your life and it doesn't do you any good. All it does is feed a constant desire to feel sorry for yourself, because you were the victim of people stronger than you. Or else it makes you go to the other extreme and disguise yourself as an avenger ready to strike out at the people who hurt you. Isn't that a waste of time?...It is human, but it's not intelligent or reasonable.
