    Hi as a writer I know I can improve, I would like it very much if you read my books and tell me what is missing and how it will improve my work. Your opinions matter to me. Please send them to my email id harpreet786@gmail.com,. My writing for sometime has come to standstill and your words may add some fire to it.Thank you all.I am a writer and writing has been my passion from my college days, but I have given it complete free reign over everything else, only in the last few years. As a journalist, I have worked in many newspapers and magazines and gathered over 13 years of experience. But I am still gathering experience for my writing. Every day is a learning experience and adds to my profile.

      This book is a collection of quotes, which I came across over the years and have made a lasting impression on me. They have sometimes helped me to understand human behavior and sometimes elevate my mood when I was depressed with life’s misgivings. I hope these help the reader as well, yes everyone has his or her own way of helping themselves and I hope to this book is one of the ways to help. I dedicate this book to The Rose and my teacher.
