“Each of us has a treasure within that often goes undiscovered because we are so busy in the routines we have created for ourselves. Discovering this treasure is the search for our destiny and the journey towards unravelling our full potential; it is the pursuit of happiness. When you find this treasure, you would also have discovered your unique contribution to
humanity”.~Nilmini De Silva, Fate or Destiny, Living Life with Passion
