Be friendly to everyone and look forward to them being kind to you. And it works.
Useful to me.

This makes me very happy.

Don't wait for someone else to do it-you do it too.
I think this is the reason to help others and create a better life.
I met many good people and many bad people.
But this is life.

When I was 17, I gave birth to my first child and two more --
Three children.

Today, when they had children, they started doing business.
They did not do so in my time.
When you were pregnant on my day, this man married you and you were very happy.
When I got my high school diploma, I was 63 because I couldn't get it when I was young, but I was determined to get it.
I took it by letter and I have to pay but I don't mind.
I got what I wanted.
