&quot;Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.&quot;<br /> &mdash;Antoine de Saint-Exup&eacute;ry<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t Be Afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That&#039;s only initial impression.. The Important things is not the Retreat; You have to Master Yourself

If only we knew peace
instead of pain
If only we knew birth instead
of death
If only there was truth
instead of lies
The world would be in a
much better place

Homeliness is caused by
laziness
Achievement is earned with
hard work
We discover things by being
curious
So why is everyone being so furious

Weapons cannot hurt you
Fire cannot burn you
Water cannot drown you
So why wait to search for truth

Truth lies within us
So get out there and find truth
But slow done for truth isn’t easy to find
Don't be afraid. Get out there and hope
That you find truth
