Life is a game of SURVIVAL. If you survive, you win and if you give up, you lose.
It is a game which we have to fight : right till the end.
Life twists and turns. It brings you happiness and sorrows.
It brings you surprises you love and moments you dread.

Life is at times a bed of ROSES and at times a valley of THORNS.
It makes you laugh through your sorrows and cry through your happiness.
Life has an equal number of UPS and DOWNS.
But it seems we come across the downs more than the ups.

SURVIVING HAPPILY is the most important thing of life.

Our lives are something that we all love and treasure,
And something that we all hate.
It is a nightmare but a wonderful dream come true too.
Life is a torture to your mind; but it’s also a pleasure like a beautiful song to your lips.

You want to END your life
But you want to LIVE too.
You leave your true self behind in this crazy life
And exist as someone else.
We leave memories and even people behind and learn
Learn to move on in life.

Life is a learning process.
It is an educational institution :
Once you have corrected your mistake
You graduate to a higher grade.

Things happen to you which you really HATE and DREAD.
In Life, you rarely get
WHAT you WANT and even if
You do get what you want,
You always want more.

Sometimes you sail through
troubles easily and
Sometimes it takes all your COURAGE,
STRENGTH, WILL POWER and ENERGY.

It makes you hurt others
Without ever giving a damn
And then it makes you guilty for
All that you have ever said and done.

It makes you see the good
And the bad too;
It makes you do the right
And the wrong too;
It takes you to prosperity
And to destruction too;
Above all it gives you
The right to choose and
A chance to learn from your mistakes.
In your life, you meet so many people;
People whom you love and
Whom you hate;
People who you admire and
People who you distrust.
You also meet people;
People who love you and
Who hate you;
People who admire you
And people who distrust you.

Sometimes you feel like
Going back into the past,
Sometimes you want to
Go ahead into the future
And sometimes you feel like
Staying right here,
In the present.

Life gives you everything
That you have ever wanted
But indeed gives you
NOTHING.

You are never satisfied with the way
Your life turns out to be,
But you have to come to terms
With life or else
You can never be HAPPY.

In short,
Life is great but
It stinks too;
Life is a mystery and
Is impossible to solve;
Life entangles you and
It releases you;
Life makes you LOVE you
And it makes you HATE you.

But hey,
THIS IS LIFE !!!!
And I love mine.
