What good is it to gain the whole world and lose your life?

Life has a balance and universe works perfectly to everyone.
What ever you do in this life, don't forget that it will return to you later.
Depends on what you do in your life.

What goes around comes around.. Do you believe in karma?
What ever we act, help or hurt, being honest or dishonest, God sees us, follow us and teaches us. Our actions affect our future lives.

Most people have dream to be a famous or to be rich..
Money, fame, power, pleasure...

Money equals power and opens all the doors for you.
Fame and pleasure, attract people's attention.

Sound amazing, doesn't it? But don't forget that everything has a price!

Some famous singers choose the shortest way to be rich or famous for their prestige. Then, their lives begin to fall because of their choices. This is actually another topic. Everything you see on TV is an illusion. People hate or enjoy it after watching a single frame, but we do not know what's behind it.

The reason is, they fall because, issues of drug, loneliness or their lives controlled by a person, by the time they can not handle it anymore.

Let's take a look what celebrities says about life;
"It doesn't matter about money; having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You're still left alone with yourself in the end."
-- Billy Idol

"Anybody who thinks money will make you happy, hasn't got money."
-- David Geffen

"The formula of happiness and success is just, being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can."
-- Meryl Streep

"My secret to a happy marriage is just being married to the right woman. I got lucky with the wonderful Rita Wilson. I'm the luckiest man alive."
-- Tom Hanks

"If you can do what you best and be happy, You are further along in life than most people."
-- Leonardo Dicaprio

"Happiness is a state of mind. It's just according to the way you look at things."
-- Walt Disney

Let's think about it for a second, you gained the whole world in your life. You have everything. Money, fame, power, pleasure, prestige, etc... but unfortunately will not give you the happiness and it will never be... Money, fame, power can not buy the happiness!

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
