The following are thoughts to ponder:

Of precious wood. When it was finished,

All who saw it were astounded. The said it must be

The work of spirits.

Thanks for reading. ENJOY!

The best on earth for pondering is to know thyself and try to know others on earth. Human being’s is most important than any other thing on earth. Your thoughts can shape your feelings can shape your actions.  Thinking is powerful stuff whether you’re shaping your moment, or shaping your lifetime.

The real beauty is that thinking is a skill and you can develop throughout your lifetime.  To build our thinking skills, we can draw from the wisdom of the ages and modern sages.  And quotes are one of the best ways to do that.  Whether it’spositive thinking quotes, or critical thinking quotes, there are so many words of wisdom and sayings that make us think.  Perhaps one of the most powerful thoughts on thinking is this.

I think that Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence. A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.

@jhsayyar , Man is the master of his own self, so we cannot dictate anyone to do what we want them to do and feel what we want them to fee,l There are individual differences, so no matter how we want them see and feel the beauty that would reside on them, I am so sure that this world will be filled with so much love.

This time, it seems children have no more have safe places to play.Simply because many youths and even mature person indulge themselves to illegal drugs, instead of making themselves busy finding ways to shape and reshape their lives.

Many youths this time are influenced by our technology,They no linger like to study seriously. They just want to enjoy now and never care if they will suffer later.

If they only read quotes, I am so sure their young mind would never allow to make it a victim of wrong roads.
