Amazing life Quote by Anonymous

“We have two eyes and just one tongue: which means we need to look twice and talk once. We have two ears and just one mouth: so we need to listen more than we talk. We have two hands and one stomach: so we need to work twice as much as we eat. We have two major brain parts: the left and the right…” quote by Anonymous

“We have two eyes and just one tongue: which means we need to look twice and talk once. We have two ears and just one mouth: so we need to listen more than we talk. We have two hands and one stomach: so we need to work twice as much as we eat. We have two major brain parts: the left and the right, and one heart: so we can think twice and love only one. Isn't it amazing that our body parts remind us how to live?”
