Fire...the single most important force ruling our life. 

We are

Born by the fire of passion 

Taught by a burning curiosity

Guided by the light of knowledge

Blinded by burning desire

Motivated by the fire in the belly

Confirmed lifeless by the lack of body heat

Consigned to flames as the final rite of our existence.

A fight starts with the intent of one, but fueled with the contribution of many and ends with the happiness of none.

If you want your existence to be strong and long like the banyan tree, then choose the ground well, on which you will stand. Sometimes it is wise to be a flowing river so that you don't accumulate dirt from stagnation. The ground you need to stand firmly is your family. The ground you need to flow swiftly to different levels/ladders is your profession/job. If this is the other way around, they you will mess up your life.

Money is a very important utility for sustaining our life; but not the yardstick for measuring how well it was lived.

When the blood is young and the anger is fresh, everyone wants to speak out their views, change the world and save humanity. When experience and age kick in, they realize it is clever to just shut up, only change themselves, and save their dignity.

Your enemies help you overcome your failures by pointing out your weakness. Your friends help you succeed by highlighting your strength. Be grateful to both.
