Say good words, have good thoughts and do good deeds.

Religion aside. This wise saying is published by the Buddhist Tzu-Chi Merits Society Malaysia.

We tend to get irritated by things that turn out to be out of our expectations, unfavourable to us, incite our displeasure and so on. The more we think about these bad things, the more unhappy we are, and the more we become miserable. Why should we carry the burden of unhappiness on somebody else's wrongdoings, faults and offences. Let us look at the bad things and unfavourable situations from the other point of view. Let us think of the things that can positively contribute to our well being. For example, people critisize you could mean that you are not doing something right and perhaps you can improve what you have done. That would mean you are making an concerted effort to improve yourself. So be thankful and say thank you and further improve yourself.

Carry good words in your mouth always, think of the good things that can happen and do whatever you can to help yourself and other people. Turn all the bad words into good ones, change all the bad thoughts and make them good to motivate yourself to a further heights and instead to making other people unhappy, make them a happy lots. As time goes by, you will find your life is more meaningful and is more interesting.
