Radhika

appreciate the fact that life can be full of surprises

do not be defeated by failures

when troubles come, don't lose your faith in yourself

be well prepared for ups and downs in life

be kind to people you do not know

face difficulties with courage

try to go up in life without forgetting who you are

learn to appreciate the goodness in yourself

affirm life's magic

be graceful in the wind

stand tall after a storm

be prepared for each season

provide shelter for strangers

hang tough through a cold spell

stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky

be still ... hear your own leaves rustling
