The bent head, the averted eye, the faltering voice, the wincing figure- these, and not the unshrinking gaze and frank reply, are the true signals of passion.

About This Quote

When we feel strongly about something, we often face the problem head-on and express our feelings openly and honestly. However, we often need to know when not to say what is on our mind. Today I'd like to share with you one of my favorite quotes. This quote is very similar to my original quote of "Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression". I am sharing this with you because it's amazing how many of us can relate to this quote.

There are two types of people, those who love this quote and those who hate it. The way I see it, there are two types of people in this world; the ones who understand what the quote means and the ones who don't. So let me explain it in detail...When you think about it, life without any meaning is like life without any purpose.

Our life has a meaning which is given by God. We are all living for a reason; to achieve something or to learn something. We are all here for a reason.

The only thing that matters is that we shouldn't be afraid of death because death is just another part of life. It doesn't matter how old you are; everyone dies anyway! It's not an end but just one part in your journey.Focus on today's situation instead of worrying about tomorrow's or next year's or even your entire lifetime! Your time here on earth is limited so why spend all your time worrying about things that can't be changed? If you miss out important events in your life then don't worry about it - just live every moment to the fullest! Enjoy your life while you still have it!One thing that I've noticed in my own life is that I need to do something every day to keep myself busy so that I don't get depressed . When I was in high school, there were many times when I was very depressed because I didn't have many friends at school nor did I have many activities to do at school.

The only thing that kept me happy was reading books or doing homework . Nowadays, even though I don't have much friends at school anymore, I still read books everyday . It helps me relax and think about things other than what's going on in my current situation.The other thing that keeps me busy is writing blogs everyday .

When I'm writing posts everyday, suddenly everything seems less important and more trivial . When I'm blogging everyday, suddenly everything doesn't matter . Later on when someone asked me why, suddenly
