Happiness
Arrow goes forward only after being pulled backward. Bullet goes forward only after the trigger is pressed backward. Every human being will get happiness only after facing challenges and setbacks. So do not be afraid to face your challenges. They will push you forward!

Life is Beautiful
A teacher once arranged a painting competition. The theme was “Life is beautiful!” Whoever could capture the true meaning and beauty of life in a painting would win. On the day of the competition, three paintings were selected for the final round.
First one was a painting of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for the peaceful mountains surrounding the lake. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. There was a beautiful home on the top of the mountain where a perfect family lived happily. All who saw this picture thought that it perfectly captured the beauty of a peaceful life.
Second one was a picture of a jungle. There were green trees, blue sky, beautiful waterfall, birds and animals in the jungle. There stood a lion roaring gloriously. Everyone who saw the picture said the lion was fearless and courageous. He was the King of the jungle. They felt the picture perfectly captured the glory of strength and courage in life, the beauty of living life fearlessly.
Third one was a picture of a mountain that was rugged and bare. Above was a dark sky from which rain fell and in which lightening played. There was a foaming angry waterfall below. Behind the waterfall a tiny bush grew in the crack of the rock. In the plant a mother bird had built her nest. There in the midst of the barren rock, rush of angry water, dark sky and storm sat the mother bird, holding on to her nest. This did not look beautiful at all.
The teacher gave the prize to third picture. When everyone asked why, he explained – “Beauty of life doesn’t lie in perfection. Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise or trouble. Peace means to be amidst of chaos and still be calm in your spirit. Courage does not mean the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. Courage is not roaring with power and dominating others when you are unchallenged. Courage means to not give up when life challenges you. Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain. That’s the true meaning and beauty of life!”
