''Give a man a fish
and feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish
and you feed him for a lifetime.''

it's the same like-
when somebody asks you something concerning to English,
and you give him an answer that he needs,it's good;
but it's better when you teach him all the time,it'll help him for a lifetime.

P.S.
I want to say THANK YOU Torsten for thet he helps us with English training ,
which will be necessary for a lifetime
:D

Hi Naira
I agree with this one; life is more than one moment because each moment you learn somthing new or maybe when you fail you need to star again and overcome this failure and that's why we shoul learn how to live our life.

Hi Aryam
i agree with you,no one can say-I know everything-it's impossible.
Judge others by yourself and you will rarely be mistaken.

hi Fimbriae
well,in some cases you are right,but in other i can't agree with you.why?
Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics can be written by you...
we all have our own rules in our life,so that's why in some cases we can say life is game
and we all should play it .......

Hi there. what a nice discussion you made!

Life is a dream for the wise,
A game for the fool,
A comedy for the rich,
A tragedy for the poor...
Sholom Aleichem

I do not quite agree with this quote, but it's well-spoken :)
I think that life sometimes is a dream, sometimes a game, a comedy or a tragedy...
Because we sometimes act like a wise or like a fool ones...
Life is everything, it depends on a lot of things, and most of all it depends on who you are and what's your look at things...
:) Life is a wonderful miracle, a great riddle which is not meant to be unfolded, it's just for living...

But it is also said: "Life is hard. After all, it kills you" hehe :)

Hi Nara.
A good life is long enough... do you agree with this?
Usually good, happy moments we live seem to be very short and we always lack for it.
But those sad ones seem to be very long and endless.
When you're happy you don't even notice how the time flies.
Then after that happy moment is over, we remember about them... and these good memories can last really for a long time... I think so:)

By the way, are you an optimistic person?

Hi Levon.
I am realist
but sometimes i finde me on the way of being optimist,
maybe the reason is that sad moments,that you've mentioned above,may be...

well, to be a realist is good, to accept reality as it is...
"The pessimist sees difficulties in every opportunity and the optimist sees the opportunities in every difficulty".

"Always borrow money from a pessimist, he never expects to be paid back" :)
soory I dont remember tha authors' names:)
