Don't live in the shadows of people's judgment. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom."<br /> -Amitabh Bachchan

Laugh your heart out. Dance in the rain. Cherish the morning. Ignore the pain. Live, Laugh, Love. Forgive and Forget. Life&#039;s too short to be living with regrets.<br /> Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn&#039;t be done. Amelia Earhart
