Being cheerful is like a butterfly! <br />If you try to catch the butterfly <br />by following it very seriously; <br /> <br />it will be flying further and further, <br />You can’t catch it for ever, <br />You will be tired getting a feel, sour! <br /> <br />If you keep sitting quietly, <br />The small creature, butterfly <br />will sit on your shoulder naturally! <br /> <br />Searching and chasing more <br />in the outer world for cheers, <br />you can’t fetch it in your hands! <br /> <br />If you cultivate the habit of being <br />kind, quiet and prudent, cheers will stick <br />on to you permanently like butterfly!<br /><br />Dr.V.K.
