For me, happiness is a journey you must take for you to see your destination. You have to go through some obstacles in your life but if you strive further, you will reach your goal.      With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Hope that we can still repair the holes that we created and mend it. This is not the first time or will be the last time that I have heard in t...

We all know that dogs are known for their discerning noses, which can be used to sniff out bombs, finding a missing person, or track down criminals. Basically, dogs are four-legged crime fighters. Based also on my sources, some dogs could sniff and detect cancer.
