"Most of us are sick of our own desires, selfishness and jealousy and living in a cocoon. Think for others too. Always be good even if others are rude to you.

"Knowledge increases by sharing but not by saving."
Written in 2009 by Dr. Pravin Dhikale --- India
We must share our knowledge with people so it will spread and help others. If you only save it and keep it in your mind and diary, after your death, it will come down to zero. If you share it, it will keep your memory alive forever in the world. So learn to share.
