Life is beautiful. You have to be thankful that we are living. Wherever you look is beauty. I know about the bad things, but I look for the good things.
In any case, life is beautiful, extremely beautiful. And when you are old you appreciate it more. When you are older you think, you remember, you care and you appreciate. You are thankful for everything. For everything.

And life is beautiful, love is beautiful, nature and music are beautiful. Everything we experience is a gift, a present we should cherish and pass on to those we love.
Music saved my life and Music saves me still.
It depends on me whether life is good or not. Not on life, on me.

When you are optimistic, when you are not complaining, when you look at the good side of your life, everybody loves you.
