WHO IS SHE?

 (…)” I’d wish someone to say that I am a human. Maybe it sounds trivial, but to be honest, I really would like someone to say this (…)

Have respect for yourself

Human being should have respect for himself. He should like himself, develop oneself. We have got lost. We have no time to ask ourselves of anything. (…) Take care of yourself, as you have a responsibility to raise your children, take care of your family. (…)

Pose yourself questions

We have let ourselves be told by some strange people that we must have around ourselves more and more petty things, things that are insignificant, and that it seemingly should bring us happiness. False. These things just litter our home. What a man really needs for living are just a few things. People give up having families, give up contact with families, give up contact with children. Because they just want to work more, more, and more. They want to have more and more money, live better lives, but what means better? This is the real problem.

Love children

I come from a very poor family. But parents loved me so much that I remember this until this day. This is the reason when I am feeling well in this world. Why I do not have to have everything. Why I like people. Parental love I learnt in my family home. If children are bereft of this love, then, no money can make it up for them.
