My First Recital "AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER"
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. You only pass this world but once.
"Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop."
You never know what you can do until you try.
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
Nowadays the world is becoming increasingly materialistic, and mankind is reaching toward the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions. Yet by this vain striving for perfection in a world where everything is relative, they wander even further away from inward peace and happiness of the mind.
