Do you have such a person in your life- not by any choice of yours but due to certain circumstances she just needs to be there and top that off, you can’t stand the sight of her, the stuff that comes out of her mouth and actions?

I don’t want to accumulate bad karma any further with the attitude and negativity that I’ve been sending in her direction. Not very big of me, eh?

So from today onwards, I shall try and heed this Chinese quote;

” 你可以用笑容改变别人,但不要让别人改变了你的笑”

Loose translation of it means – use your smile (or in my case: be magnanimous) to change a person but do not let anyone affect that smile on your face.

If you give it some thought, it’s a rather meaningful quote – show some heart and positivity to the person and you’ll be surprise what comes back, and if not, why let that person spoil your smile, day or mood.

Side note to self: Be big-hearted to that person, Jasmine.
