王珍

"Ask a flower in the field: ‘Do you feel useful? After all, you do nothing but produce the same flowers over and over?’
6 P- f. f" i* E) I3 W) q6 ]And the flower will answer: ‘I am beautiful, and beauty is my reason for living.’

Don’t try to be useful. Try to be yourself: that is enough, and that makes all the difference."---paulo coelho
