Don’t hesitate to tell each other “I love you” if you really feel it, without an occasion, without waiting for special days, and you will see how wonderful the life is. Appreciate your parents while they are close to you, and tell them whenever possible: “I love you”. Encourage young children, be nice to them, don’t hesitate to say “I love you”, thus, they will grow in a pleasant atmosphere and will be open for communication with you, the parents. If you have grandparents, call them at least sometimes, and tell them simply, “I love you, Grandma”, or “I love you, Grandpa”; it will be so nice both for them and for you to know that you have pleased them at least a bit.

Love life, love people who make your life more beautiful, and tell them a sincere “I love you”... in the greatest possible number of languages.
