The Measure of a Person

It's not about the crowd, but the core.

Life doesn’t lie in having a number of friends in your calendar but in being a friend when the other man is in the calendar.

It’s not how many people above you see potential in jumping on your bandwagon but how many are willing to stay loyal even after you have failed.

It is not the number of people you have to turn around and count that matters but the number that matter is how many do?

If someone is good because of you then you also must forgive their shortcomings. Hold on to that because the majority of people have that sheer disconnection in their minds, and they only record the negative.

I still see ‘love’ as the enormously powerful controlling force and don’t believe you should ever lose any of the people you care about. Love those who love you in any way for as long as you possibly can. Make sure to thank them for they have stood by you throughout.

Thank you for reading!
