Thought of the day - 133

Too often, we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Not everyone will have the heart you have, not everyone will appreciate you and what you do for them. It won't be easy having a kind heart in a cruel world. But be prepared. Take up the challenges. You can have all the degrees in the world but, if you don't have a hustler's mentality, ambition and common sense, you will be lost. You need to stop doing the things for someone when you find out that it makes no difference to them. People never seem to appreciate what you do for them as long as they don't earn it. Don't let your loyalty become your slavery. Don't lose your dignity and self respect trying to make people love and appreciate you when they aren't just capable of it. If they miss you, they will call. If they really want you, they will say it without any hesitation. If they care, they will show it. If they love you, they will make you feel it in every best way they can express. But if they don't, they don't deserve you. You don't have to break your heads chasing them. Be with someone who knows exactly what they have when they have you. Not with someone whom you have to remind of you. 

Cheers.
