Meaningful quotes...

If an egg is broken by an outside force, a life ends.
If an egg breaks from within... a life begins.
Great things always begin from within.



It's better to lose your ego to the one you love, than to lose the one you love... because of ego.
This is a good reminder to those couples, one of whom has a big ego.

When you trust someone, trust him completely without any doubt... at the end, you would get one of the two: either a lesson for your life or a very good person.
Pakatan turncoats come to mind.

The worst in life is 'attachment'. It hurts when you lose it. The best thing in life is 'loneliness', because it teaches you everything and, when you lose it, you get everything.
I remember being taught about 'attachment' in Buddhism - you 'suffer' when you lose anything which you are attached to.

“I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.”

- Chinese proverb

To me, there is much truth in this.

Whenever someone introduces himself or herself, and if the name is one of those uncommon ones, then unless it is spelt out, I am unlikely to remember it.

When you are driving in search of a new place, any mistake is likely to be remembered and you are definitely better at recognizing the route. Compared this with someone else driving and chances are that you will not pay attention.

With languages, it is always easier to read (especially recognizing Chinese characters) than to write; easier to listen and understand than to be able to speak. When a language is treated like a spoken dialect, being able to converse does not necessarily mean being able to read and write. There are native English or Chinese speakers who cannot really write properly, usually with spelling mistakes.
