“Never expect that people who were good to you will always be good to you; people change and move on when you don't understand their importance in your life and appreciate what they have done for you.”
Shiva Negi

Arthur Schopenhauer
“By a peculiar weakness of human nature, people generally think too much about the opinion which others form of them; although the slightest reflection will show that this opinion, whatever it may be, is not in itself essential to happiness.
Therefore, it is hard to understand why everybody feels so very pleased when he sees that other people have a good opinion of him or say anything flattering to his vanity.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims

“No matter how talented and successful you are, you have to go through what you have to go through. So learn to accept pain and be happy despite the circumstances. Be happy with what you have. Also, learn to appreciate the impermanence of everything: Of Life itself surely. Also, of name, fame, wealth, success and glory. And of failure too. Focus instead on what you love doing and do it very, very well. Simply, if you create great, unputdownable work, both you and your work will be remembered. Forever.”
Vaani Anand and AVIS Viswanathan

“Many people believe that ignorance is bliss because not knowing something can bring happiness. In reality, it often means that avoiding certain things or people in life can lead to happiness!”
Md. Ziaul Haque

Pai Hsien-yung
“As the saying goes, 'People do not stay in favor a thousand days; flowers do not stay in bloom a hundred days.' Nobody can count on being happy and prosperous a whole lifetime.”
Pai Hsien-yung, Taipei People
