Strive to leave the world a better place than you found it.

We were brought into this world by our parents and have gone through life to the various stages we are in, we should always concentrate our efforts to make the world a better place than we found it, we were brought here by our ancestors and we should make it conductive for our great grand children. This is my humble request to all living people.
