“Tell the truth, be cordial and reasonable – put aside the worry of what others will think – and expose the consequences of your act naturally.”
“সত্য বলুন, সৌহার্দ্যপূর্ণ এবং যুক্তিসঙ্গত হোন – অন্যরা কী ভাববে তার উদ্বেগকে একপাশে রাখুন – এবং স্বাভাবিকভাবে আপনার কাজের ফলাফল প্রকাশ করুন।”
― Mozammel Khan

Amaka Imani Nkosazana
“Everything that looks good may not be good for you. In life, we all take chances. You must carefully examine the pros and cons. People often times have certain hidden agendas. And, you might not realize until you're in too deep.”
― Amaka Imani Nkosazana, Sweet Destiny
