A lot of money has been invested, but people's lives have improved little.

We are still exploring the options and it is the government which will have a final say on this. I hope it can be put in place as soon as possible.

About time, what I really learned from studying English is: time is different with timing.
I understand the difference of these two words so well. I understand falling in love with the right person in the wrong timing could be the greatest sadness in a person's entire life.

You have to maintain the balance between fast growth and smooth growth. It's like driving a car and knowing when to balance the gas pedal and the brake.

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
