StatusLife status
A good life line is something you noticed yourself, said simply. These are our own observations, written to be short enough for a status and true enough to keep.

हिन्दी
मुश्किलें वही रहती हैं, बस हमें उठाना आ जाता है।
जो बीत गया वह सबक था, जो आ रहा है वह मौका है।
हर सुबह एक नया पन्ना है, कल की स्याही आज पर मत फैलाओ।
भागते भागते जीना मत भूल जाना।
सुकून महँगी चीज़ है, इसे सस्ते लोगों पर खर्च मत करो।
वक़्त सबसे अच्छा गुरु है, बस फ़ीस थोड़ी ज़्यादा लेता है।
छोटी खुशियाँ ही असली पूँजी हैं।
जो है उसमें खुश रहो, जो चाहिए उसके लिए मेहनत करो।
ज़िंदगी की चाय में थोड़ी कड़वाहट भी ज़रूरी है, तभी मिठास समझ आती है।
रास्ते बदलो, इरादे नहीं।
ज़िंदगी ने जो सिखाया, किताबों में नहीं था।
जो है, उसी में ख़ुश रहना सीख रहा हूँ।
हर दिन अच्छा नहीं होता, पर हर दिन में कुछ अच्छा होता है।
रास्ते बदलते हैं, चलना नहीं छूटता।
सुकून ख़रीदा नहीं जाता, कमाया जाता है।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਸੌਖੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਪਰ ਸੋਹਣੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੈ।
ਜੋ ਮਿਲਿਆ, ਉਹਦਾ ਸ਼ੁਕਰ। ਜੋ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਿਆ, ਉਹਦੀ ਮਿਹਨਤ।
ਹੱਸਦੇ ਰਹੋ, ਦਿਨ ਆਪੇ ਬਦਲ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਨੇ।
ਸਬਰ ਦਾ ਫਲ ਦੇਰ ਨਾਲ ਪੱਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਮਿੱਠਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
When a life line fits
Lines about life suit the quiet days: a birthday that made you think, the end of a school year, a long train ride, an evening after good news or hard news. They are also the safest kind of text status when you have no photo to post, because they say something without telling anyone your business.
Turn a general line into yours
A life line becomes yours when you tie it to something that happened. Take "Small joys, counted daily" and add the joy: "Small joys, counted daily. Today: first mango of the season." Take a Hindi line about patience and add where you learnt it: in a queue, in a kitchen, in a hostel. One real detail is enough.
What to avoid
- Giving advice to the world. "Life taught me" reads better than "People should".
- Very dark lines without context. Friends will worry, and you will spend the evening explaining.
- Posting a wise line right after a fight. Everyone can see the timing.
- Long quotations from famous people. If you want real quotations with the source named, see Quotes.
Before you post
- Post the line that matches your week. A line you believe reads differently from one you only liked.
