2 My name is Gossip. I have no respect for justice. I have no honour and I have no dignity, I am fickle and completely untrustworthy. A relevant thought.... very pertinent throughout times...

3 I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning, malicious and gather strength with age. The more I am quoted, the more I am believed. I flourish at every level of society. My victims are helpless and unaware most of the time. They cannot protect themselves against me because I have lots of names and lots of faces. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become.

4 I am nobody's friend. Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same. I topple governments and wreck marriages. Ruin friendships and kill relationships. I LOVE to attack everyone's honour and dignity, And leave despair and disgust in its place. I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and illnesses.

5 I spawn suspicion and generate grief. I make innocent people cry in their sleep. Even my name hisses. I am called GOSSIP. Office gossip- Shop gossip- Party gossip- Telephone gossip- Internet gossip- Community gossip-

6 I make headlines and hell on earth. Before repeating a story, ask this: is it true? Is it fair? Is it necessary?? How sure are you ?? Would you testify to it under solemn oath?? If not, do not repeat it. KEEP QUIET. GREAT minds discuss ideas.. Average minds discuss events.. Shallow minds discuss people.. Before repeating a story, ask every time: Is this me ?? And more importantly, Is this who I want to be?

7 Everyday some incidents end & the new one starts. Someone in some moments come too close and, in the next, they depart. Except it, its nature & forget the pain. Neither surrender nor stop the life's cart no matter how you move it-slow or fast- but don't be the prisoners of past. “A winner is someone who sets his goal, commits himself to those goals, and then pursues them with all the ability he has.”

8 Smiling Opens the Heart Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendships and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your attitude and are reflected in your eyes and smile. Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen. The Words That Escape A Friend's Mouth Are "I'll Be There When You Say You Need Me" But The Words That Are Unheard From A True Friend's Heart Are "I'll Be There Whether You Say You Need Me Or Not."The Words That Escape A Friend's Mouth Are "I'll Be There When You Say You Need Me" But The Words That Are Unheard From A True Friend's Heart Are "I'll Be There Whether You Say You Need Me Or Not."
