There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth. v   Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, what the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead. v  As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it. v   The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman. v  Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it.

Such friendships will never give you any happiness. v  Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend.

An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the Beauty and the Youth.
