My View of Beauty of Life

Life is a teacher. It teaches the man how to live and not to live. Firstly it shows the choices of living. But the choice has to be made by man. Some choices may be right and some may be wrong. Many man finds the road of living which is complete and thinks that he has chosen the right one but actually he has made the wrong one. According to me, the complete road indicates that road which had been built by some one else in the past. The right choice is chosen by few men because they have the potency to build the road of life.  The difference between the wrong choice and the right choice is only one thing: Living through others' life and living his own life. This distinction is not at all noted by many men in this world. Finally the Life decides, who gains higher mark than the others.

International Friendship Day

Source: www.theholidayspot.com The tradition of celebrating Friendship Day began in 1935 when the US Congress decided to dedicate a day in the honor of friends. Though it is not known exactly what were the reasons that went into the making of this day, the retrospection of the world scenario of those times can lead us to an understanding. With the devastating effects of the First World War still showing and increasing hostilities, mistrust and hatred between countries providing the perfect conditions for another imminent battle, there was a greater need for friendship and camaraderie not only among nations but also among individuals.  Hence, the US Congress decided to designate the first Sunday of the month of August as Friendship Day and with a formal proclamation in 1935, officially declared the occasion a holiday dedicated in the honour of friends and friendship.
