<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once I heard that &#8221; Dreams
<p>are created to not be true &#8221;
<p>but I have always believed that without dreams nothing
<p>can be true …
<p><b>10 – 6 -2005</b>
<p><strong></strong>&nbsp;
<p><b><font color="#ff0000">Saturday </font></b>
<p>To climb the highest mountain .. is an adventure
<p>To fight wild animals in that dark forest .. is an adventure
<p>To cross a barren desert with no fear .. is an adventure
<p>But ..
<p>The huge adventure is .. to live in this world happily and die with smile on your face
<p>11 – 6 -2005
<p>&nbsp;
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Sunday</strong></font>
<p>Sometimes you need to lie to prove to others that you are still what they want you to be ..
<p>12 – 6 -2005
<p>Today .. to live in this world is more frightening than death itself!
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong></strong></font>&nbsp;
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Monday</strong></font>
<p>In court you can be on the defense’s side to prove your innocence ..
<p>Or ..
<p>be on the prosecutor’s side where you can prove that man&#8217;s guilt
<p>But ..
<p>When &#8221; fate &#8221; becomes the judge , none of us will have the ability to open his or mouth or even breathe, and his or her words will be the last thing you hear ..
<p>13 – 6 – 2005
<p>&nbsp;
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Tuesday</strong></font>
<p>If you have the ability to create
<p>Then ..
<p>You will have the ability to change this world, for better or worse!!
<p>14-6-2005
<p>&nbsp;
<p>Everything dies except love. It remains till the last breath
<p>15-6-2005
<p>&nbsp;
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Thursday</strong></font>
<p>Only those who don&#8217;t believe in normality can change the world .
<p>2 -3- 2006
<p>&nbsp;
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Saturday </strong></font>
<p>Humans always have a reasonable excuse for their reactions and mistakes, whenever you tell them they are guilty.
<p>25-3-2006
<p>&nbsp;
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Tuesday </strong></font>
<p>1. Friends are the vein of life..
<p>The heart..
<p>And the smile..
<p>2. A person with no friends has no soul
<p>29-3-2006
<p><font color="#ff0000"></font>&nbsp;
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Saturday</strong></font>
<p>Don&#8217;t be sad cause a year has been added to your
<p>age ..
<p>Be thankful ..
<p>It’s God&#8217;s gift to you and remember that if a year was added here, a year died over there on the other side of the world J
<p>1-4-2006
<p><font color="#ff0000"></font>&nbsp;
<p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Monday</strong></font>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to play after every storm.
