A Better you 2011

History has shown us, the making of a great man doesn't come overnight... Most importantly, we have to make sure our inner-self is cleansed before the rest can be filled in. Always remember to fight against our vices, never to give in to them always. We may not be vice-free but we can keep them to a minimal. Be friendly and helpful to the people near you, making peace with them will add more love and care to you in return. So add another resolution for the coming year- to be a better person each year.



To make the world a better place, it got to start with you first.



Love Rach
