Power of Words

Wisdom for heart and soul

By Rohitha LankaPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

Praise people with words

More valuable than giving pearls as gifts

Hurt people with words

More serious than stabbing with a spear and sword

When others help us, we will remember for the rest of our lives

We help others, don't take it to heart

Water that is too clean, will have no fish

People who are too strict will have no followers

Dissatisfaction, frustration

Should be what makes us speak up more

Should not be what makes us

Despondent, depressed, and surrender to obstacles

In our lives, friendship

Is like a lamp

Which shines on our souls

Brighten up and makes our lives have beautiful colors

Jealousy is an obstacle to friendship

Suspicion is the worst enemy of love

Love without honesty and sincerity

To each other, we cannot trust each other

Dirty body always thinks of taking a bath

Dirty feet always think of washing feet

But dirty heart never thinks of cleaning the heart

People who are too confident in themselves

Are the most lonely and lonely

Nothing is worse than arrogance

Those who think they are not good enough are good enough

Those who think they are good enough are not good enough

Want to see the truth

Even though the truth may hurt us a lot

Use the mind that likes to criticize others

To criticize yourself

Use the mind that likes to forgive yourself

Forgive others

Noble but not arrogant

Win but not arrogant

Smart but know how to get off the stage

Strong but have patience

Before defeating others

You must defeat yourself first

Before criticizing others

You should look at yourself first

Before knowing others

You should know yourself first

Those who know others are smart

Those who know themselves are mindful

1. Speak less 2. Worry less

3. Little desire 4. Sleep less

If these 4 things are less, you are close to becoming an expert

People cannot escape death, but

But the meaning of death is not the same

Some are worth more than a mountain

Some are worthless, lighter than a feather
