" Begin the day with a clean state of mind. Let not the recollections of yesterday's arguments and frictions, misunderstandings and mishaps, become the pin-pricks of today, and spoil the mood. Brush such thoughts aside. Go ahead with a positive attitude, sincerely doing whatever you have to do. Let it be the 'best today' you ever had ! Good luck, go ahead ! ( Spring Leaves by KMG )
Would like to touch upon a topic in English usage, the 'Oxymoron'. A combination of incongruous words. Two contradictory terms huddled together ! Like 'ugly and beautiful', or 'humble and proud', or 'miserly and extravagant' etc. How can that be ? Is it possible at all ? Yes, see the following, used very often :
1. Clearly misunderstood
1. Clearly misunderstood
2. Exact estimate
3. Small crowd
4. Act naturally
5. Found missing
6. Fully empty
7. Pretty ugly
8. Seriously funny
9. Only choice
10. Original
11. Deafening silence

12. Happily married (?) ( ! )
( Source: a mail recd sometime back )
Doesn't that sound interesting ?
Now, to conclude, here is an inspiring and invigorating statement, to instil hope in hopeless situations !
" An optimist is one who finds an opportunity in every calamity, and, a pessimist is one who finds a calamity in every opportunity "
