Best of times, Worst of times

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct
the other way"

- A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens

perspective ....
thts all it is ....the whole wrld rotates around jst one point ..the psyche ...if today u hve made up ur mind of "u r the best" ....say tht ..."n"number of times ...type or write or speak ...it will shift from ur subconscious mind to ur conscious ...nd u noe tht can be either lethal or can give ...out of proportion results ..."its all in the mind"...."despair or hapiness"...which one wld u chose ..?????

shweta: Like Emerson said..."Attitude is more important than facts"

rose: Although the lines that I've quoted are from 'A Tale of Two Cities', it is Pip from 'Great Expectations' who is my all time favorite character...somehow, I'm always able to connect with him. :))
