I am a multi-faced individual.
The world philosophers have researched their whole life in order to derive upon philosophies which are helpful in improving life. The central to every philosophy is to attain freedom, move towards freedom and try to achieve the illusion of complete freedom. But also central to these philosophies is the factor - that whatever freedom we achieve - we have to be prepared to do something with it - and the most fruitful thing that we can do of it is to utilize that freedom gained to achieve our dreams. If we are able to do this - then there is no sorrow and we are very near to our life.

The Law of the Seed
The Law of Seed
A very interesting story about the law of seed. Whenever you are feeling down because of failures and mistakes you made in life, do take time out to think about this law of seed.
The Law of the Seed
Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, each with ten seeds.
That's a lot of seeds! We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more trees?"
Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."
This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.
You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.
You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, car, vacuum cleaner, insurance policy, idea.
And you might meet a hundred acquaintances to find one special friend.
When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed.
We stop feeling like victims.Laws of nature are not things to take personally.
We just need to understand them - and work with them.
IN A NUTSHELL: "Successful people fail more often. They plant more seeds."

Delay
My feelings, my desire, my emotions, what to say - sometimes tears shed in solitude, sometimes speech give to myself by myself - - - they will never be felt by my smile and frame that I have framed in which the world sees me.
Delay !!
The radiance of the star that leans on me
Was shining years ago.
The light that now
Glitters up there my eyes may never see,
And so the time lag teases me with how
Love that loves now may not reach me until
Its first desire is spent.
The star’s impulse
Must wait for eyes to claim it beautiful
And love arrived may find us somewhere else.
