To me, it is a time of reality. For I know that in every fairy tale written there are obstacles to overcome, and evil beings who stand in the way a character's dreams.

who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. - Theodore Roosevelt

I will increase my knowledge of mankind, myself, and the goods I sell, thus my sells will multiply. I will practice, and improve, and polish the words I utter to sell my goods, for this is the foundation on which I will build my career and never will I forget that many have attained great wealth and success with only one sales talk, delivered with excellence.

Surrender -Nandranie Singh
When life's turns lead you to a dark abyss
When comfort begins to fade and give place to much amiss
When amidst all the burden you still have to carry your load
Do not despair, for it is meant to be a wake up forebode
When you cannot understand despite all your years of prayers
When even your loved ones seem to add to the murky layers
When you have not the strength to go on but you must
Do not let the feeling that you are an outcast become just
For it is said that action and reaction are equal and opposite
Just like Karma, only Strength and Faith can combat it
And when these powers are drawn from that Divine
Miracles do happen that bring again the sunshine
There is much to derive
When to that destination you arrive
Where you give total surrender to that Dear Power
And let Him guide through your every hour
