Because we have become takers of negativity, ego, anger, frustration and waste. This needs to be changed. The thinking has to become positive. With the power of positivity, we refuse to give up. Remember, though situations don’t last but tough people do. Let us try to be a better person. It will change everything around you, because change always begins from inside. If I’ll change, the WORLD will change with me.
