It follows that impossible is a word found in the lexicons of cowards. Those who dare to go that extra inch only can make seemingly impossible to Possible.

That's the point. Color coding is not reliable when it comes to judging one's attitude.

People's choices and tastes are fickle. My little research shows that in 1900 pink was for boys and blue for girls. However after the second world war things changes and the norm became blue for boys and pink for girls.
To put it in a nutshell - The whole history of color coding was a gimmick of mass manufacturing.

Remember Impossible is nothing. Muhammad Ali
The Bible says - 'All this are possible for him who believes.'
Nothing good comes without a price to pay, we can all work towards it.

It all amounts to one thing. Nothing will stay forever. Over a period the inevitable CHANGE wipes off old beliefs and brings in new trends.
Wisdom lies in going along with the Change. I have no particular preference for colors. Whatever trendy an comfortable are my preferences.

Gender bias? How can choice of colors be call bias? I love pinks.. Pink is a feminine color that highlights the soft qualities of womanhood beautifully. Men are indeed sadly stuck to a few colors ( though not all men)
Pink and blue are colors identified with specific genders, I agree. However, a decade (or more I guess) ago pink was the in color for men's shirts. Every party I attended men wore pink shirts or ties. It suddenly got an identity as a unisex color. I don't know if anyone here remembers this.
Websters would define Bias as
a tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others that usually results in treating some people unfairly
: a strong interest in something or ability to do something
Unfair colors.? ??
I love blue too.. sky blue is a favorite color of mine not just pink.

There are few countries that I would love to visit on the list. Saves us a lot of trouble. If we could have friendly neighbors all around what a great place this world would be.

One who conquers his wants is considered as the conqueror of the world. Such conquerors can rule the world. People kneel down before them and hold them in the highest esteem.

Sofs- what you said is very much true but as we all know it's almost impossible for common man in this cut throat age. But yes, on a serious note- the wants are the basic reasons for all the problems which in fact are spreading like wild fire lately.

That means who has command over himself one can attain peace of mind. But all good things are not easy which come and fall in your lap. One has to perspire to attain a good thing.

Peace like happiness and sadness is a sate of mind. You have to make a choice whether you will run after wants and needs or be content with what lives brings with it and be at peace.
I would say it is a learned state of mind.. Meaning, you teach yourself to attain that state. Difficult but not impossible.
