"Most of us are sick of our own desires, selfishness and jealousy and living in a cocoon. Think for others too. Always be good even if others are rude to you. Think wise and think twice before you speak. Even speaking badly about others generates negative energy in us, which burns the goodness, so always speak well and think well. Be a leader!"

Written in 2009 by Dr. Pravin Dhikale --- India
