A QUOTE FROM THE WEB

Sad to see the way  some accepted the comments given by those who were never be with them earlier.That is a very bad example indeed.Also never promote videos with liquor/smoking  in social media . Someone will get addicted to it. 

The bad example is trying to take an advantage of the situation when someone close to u  keep silent over ur mistakes.Do not fall into a such a position at all.If we cannot learn something from our own mistakes the future of such people will be dark.It's a waste of time reading some of the quotes published here if one will  never learn from past mistakes.
