William Shakespeare – The Tapestry of Time
Time, thou art a relentless master, weaving life’s tapestry with threads both golden and gray. Each moment thou dost grant is both a gift and a curse; a fleeting instant to cherish or lament. Thy steady march spares no man, and yet, within thy bounds, lies the essence of eternity.
Life is a stage, and we, but actors upon it, play our roles. Some ascend to glory with crowns and swords; others dwell in the shadows, unsung yet no less vital. The world doth turn, indifferent to our triumphs or our tragedies. And yet, ’tis not indifference that defines us but the passions that ignite our mortal coil.
Love, ambition, envy, and hope—these are the forces that animate our being. To love is to be divine; to hope is to be immortal. Yet, beware, for unchecked ambition doth consume, and envy breeds ruin.
Oh, let us tread lightly upon this fragile earth and speak kindly to our fellows. For in the end, all are equal when the curtain falls, and the applause of life fades into the silence of eternity. In thy passage, Time, we find both our limits and our infinite possibilities.

Paulo Coelho – The Alchemy of Dreams
The universe is a mirror, reflecting back the essence of our souls. When we chase our dreams with courage, the universe conspires to help us achieve them. But to dream is to risk – to risk failure, to risk heartbreak. Yet, without risks, there is no discovery, no growth.
I met a shepherd once, his eyes filled with a light that no riches could dim. “I search for my treasure,” he said, pointing to the horizon. I asked if he was afraid of losing his way. He smiled. “The journey is the treasure,” he replied.
Life often tempts us to settle for comfort, to bury our dreams beneath the weight of fear. But those who dare to step into the unknown are rewarded with more than they seek. The journey changes them, transforming ordinary seekers into extraordinary beings.
Your heart knows the way; listen to its whispers. Trust the omens that guide you and the struggles that shape you. Each step, whether painful or joyful, leads you closer to your treasure. And when you find it, you’ll realize that the treasure was not a thing but the alchemist you became.

Laxmi Prasad Devkota – The Poet’s Longing
Oh, to be free, to soar beyond the earthly tether of mundane existence! My heart, like a solitary bird, craves the vast expanse of the unknown skies. The mountains call me with their silent whispers, and the rivers invite me to dance along their sinuous paths. Life is not a mere struggle for survival but a quest for beauty, a journey towards transcendence.
The essence of humanity lies in its dreams, in its eternal yearning to break the chains of mediocrity. I see the farmers toiling under the sun, their sweat a testament to resilience, but where is their joy? I see the scholar hunched over books, but where is the wisdom that liberates?
The true wealth of life is not in riches or power but in the ability to see the divine in a blade of grass, the infinite in a fleeting moment. Let us awaken our dormant spirits, let us live as creators, not mere consumers of life. For what is man if not a child of the cosmos, destined to shine as brightly as the stars themselves ?
