Teacher: Why didn't you study? Me: A year has 365 days for you to study. After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days left. There are 50 days in the summer that are way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left. We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days. If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days. We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year. We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days. Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year; hence you are only left with 46 days. Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days. Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days; you're left with 3 days in the year to study! Let's say you only go out for 2 days... You're left with 1 day. But that 1 day is your birthday. That is why I did not study. Teacher: Class dismissed.

To be born is a blessing.

Please, do not forget to smile. When you cry, it's unbearably sad...

Do not look back in remorse.

Just remember that we were here... fighting together and laughing together...

Like brothers and sisters... or like parents and children.

Be proud. Meeting you was most fortunate... and it brought happiness.

Your existence saved me... and drove away my loneliness.

Thoughts of you... cause strength to rise from deep inside, like a fire.

If possible, everyone would desire... to live and stay by each other's side.

But they had to make a choice. Live or die. Win or lose.

But to have any choice at all is fortunate.

True suffering is like an avalanche. It swallows a person in an instant and offers no choice.

They just wanted to protect others. Other lives were more important than their own.

Happiness isn't about the length of your life. I want you to see the depth of happiness I have.

I have never thought for a moment... that I was unhappy.

We never gave up or ran away... and we kept the faith.

And we always... gave it everything we had.

Many strong feelings became an immense blade... and defeated the enemy.

That was due to everyone's strengths.

Victory would have been impossible without even one of us.

Life itself is a miracle.

You are precious.

You are important.

Please, live the best life you can...

My most beloved friends.
