Some people find happiness in doing simple things like reading books, walking in the park, praying, answering puzzles, reading funny jokes, chatting or blogging.

     For me, I find happiness in singing. My way to relax and best exercise ever. Gradually, this pleasure goes into an ambitious imagination or dream. Wanting to get heard in every corner of the world. I guess, there is nothing wrong with having an ambition in life. Though I know it is very difficult for one to become a singer. One must

Not easy for us as teachers, students have their own view, they do what make them happy without considering the consequ

Hi everybody!

I've been thinking about the currencies used around the world. Unfortunately, I've come up with only a handful: the dollar, the euro, the pound, the lira and few more. It's right that I know the names of some, yet there are many other currencies which I neither know where they're used nor how they look like. As a result, I thought that it'd be nice if you help, poor me, enrich my information by telling the members about the name of currency used in your country including a  photo of

1. Don't judge people on the way they look

 As we were kids, my mother always told us not to trust people's appearance. And to help us to understand what she was meaning, she told us the story of an old man she knew who looked and lived as a tramp but in whose house his family found millions after his death.

2. Never wast food

My mother was quite strict and when my 5 brothers and sisters and I were sitting around the table for the meal, we had some rules to follow. one of them was to empty our plat

As you all know by now, Steve Jobs died on October 5th at the age of 56. I learned the sad news last night.  I was walking in a charity event for cancer with my family in Toronto. We were walking in memory of my mom who died at the age of 51. Thousands of people were holding red balloons that lit up the night sky. As we walked past the cancer hospital where my mom spent many days before she died, a girl with a blue Cancer Survivor T-shirt looked at her iPhone and gasped. I turned around and hear
