Making others happy is not a question of sacrificing our own happiness. Trying to make others happy, even when we do not always succeed, is a source of great satisfaction. Anger and hatred are signs of weakness, while compassion is a sure sign of strength.

Why would you want to go back to your old water wasting ways when you managed just fine on 50 litres a day? Do you really need that long shower or bath? Are you not proud of what you achieved by saving as much water as you could. Why go back?

I always consider that the shape of the future is in our hands. The past is past and can’t be changed, but the future has not yet arrived. Young people have the opportunity and responsibility to shape it by creating a better world.
