Promise Yourself...
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

One of My Theories on Complicated Relationships
Sit back, relax, try not to get too confused.. I'll make this as easy-to-understand as I can.
SO! Everyone, at some point in his life, gets into a situation like this: You like someone, but that someone likes someone else, who in turn likes someone else, etc, and everyone's heart breaks. Not fun. I'm here to show you my theory on why this happens and why there is always hope for a better future. Ready? Okay.
Once upon a time, Joe liked Mary. But Mary liked Bob. and Bob liked Sally. and Sally liked Joe!
My my, they were in quite a state.
Before I go any further, I'm going to symbolize personalities and characteristics with colors. In other words, Joe is made up of green and blue, representing his unique personality and characteristics. Mary is made up of blue and purple. Bob is made up of purple and red. Sally is made up of red and green.
The thing is, they all have a more-or-less hidden color, and then a visible color. Joe's "visible" color (i.e., what everyone sees when they look at him) is green. His hidden color is blue. Only Joe knows that he has blue inside of him. To everyone else, he is just green.
The same goes for the other three people. Mary's visible color is blue, her hidden color is purple. Bob's visible is purple, his hidden is red. Sally's visible is red, her hidden is green.
Are you starting to see where I'm going with this? Maybe a picture will help.
See it better now? You can see that the hidden blue in Joe is what attracts him to Mary. He sees the blue of Mary, and he feels the blue inside himself, and he is attracted. Mary, however, only sees green in Joe, and since she has no green in herself, she is not attracted to him at all. She is instead attracted to Bob, whose visible color is purple, which Mary has inside herself.
It goes the same way for Bob --> Sally, and Sally --> Joe.
WHAT A MESS!
But here's the hope:
Some day, Joe will meet another girl who is a perfect mix of his two colors. He will be pulled to her, and she to him. They will balance out, and everyone will be happy. Mary will meet a guy who is a perfect mix of blue and purple. Bob will meet a girl who is a perfect mix of purple and red. Sally will meet a guy who is a perfect mix of red and green.
You might look at this and say, Why do we have to go through the first state of things?! Well, the years when you're in the first state are very important, because they help to show you who you are. They make you realize that you're not just what's on the outside. You have a color hidden inside of you. In these years, you really learn more about yourself, and find out who exactly you are.
