Courage to live

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 29 Nov '08

“But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”

--Albert Camus

My Thoughts:
Most people commit suicide because they think that’s the easiest way to end all problems.

But is it any act of courage? Certainly not, the person who faces the life as it comes is more courageous than the one who kills himself.

Vicious circle

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 28 Nov '08

“We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them.”

--Charles Caleb Colton

My Thoughts:
Many phenomenon work in vicious circles…..you don’t keep in touch with your friend because you think that she is busy and in turn she don’t call you because you didn’t call he.

Same is with most of human relations. Someone has to break this vicious circle, why not you do it?

The Genius Idiot

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 27 Nov '08

“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”

--Douglas Adams

My Thoughts:
Every genius has a fool inside him and every fool has a genius inside him. Just find out in which category do you belong.

And by the way enjoy the quote.

Three important things

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 26 Nov '08

“Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”

--Lou Holtz

My Thoughts:
That’s a straight forward quote…..

…..But the three important things worth observing are Ability, Motivation, Attitude and what make them happen is you.

What do you Reflect?

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 25 Nov '08

“Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some.”

--Charles Dickens

My Thoughts:
All I have to say is that you could say the glass if half filled or you can say it is half empty. In both the cases you would be correct.....

.....but you yourself choose to rejoice or regret....

That’s Bravery

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Monday, 24 Nov '08

"The fearless are merely fearless. People who act in spite of their fear are truly brave."

--James A. LaFond-Lewis

My Thoughts:
People think that bravery means absence of fear. But that’s not the case.

A fearless person is only fearless….he is not brave. A brave person is one who acts in a correct way in spite of the fear.

Team work

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Sunday, 23 Nov '08

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

--Helen Keller

My Thoughts:
A few days back I had started reading this book called Wikinomics. This book says how mass collaboration has lead to a new revolution in how we conduct business, share knowledge, help others and create new lines of business.

And that’s also my experience that a effective team work….or say collaboration can help achieve something that cannot be done individually. And also such collaboration does not follow the one-plus-one-is-equal-to-two law but it is certainly seen that one plus one in this case is always more than two!
