When you were born you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Does this riddle have two answers?


How about if you put the / on the = like this:


5 + 5 + 5 Image 550


(Image means ' does not equal to')


Salaams
