Some Thoughts About Life 1

I came across a beautiful quote by one of the world's greatest philantropists, Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Just in time though, for my nonchalant attitude about the state I am in, is it a coincidence that I was able to read her aphorism? I like the last two lines - the lines my mum would always tell me.


“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”
― Mother Teresa
