A lucky person is not one who receives the care of others, but is the one who cares.

A happy person is not one who smiles, but one who makes others smile.

A smart person is not one who has potential, but the one who does something with it.

A poet is not one who writes poems, but the one who gets something out of them.

A dreamer is not one who dreams of reality, but, the one who dreams of something beyond.
