There is nothing you occupy

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 25 Oct '08

“If he could only see how small a vacancy his death would leave, the proud man would think less of the place he occupies in his lifetime.”

--Jean Baptiste Legouve

My Thoughts:
Most of the times I get the feeling that if it hadn’t been me, the job would have not been accomplished; it was because of me being at this place that things are happening.

But then, I calm my excitement by asking one simple question…..what if I was dead? Someone ought to do that work, nothing great in that. We all must have faced such situations and you need to understand that you are not that great, but lucky, that you are doing that job.

Motivation and Habit

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 24 Oct '08

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”

--Jim Ryun

My Thoughts:
Most of times I find myself doing things which I would have not done if I wasn’t been inspired by something. But then that inspired motivation gets lost some where.

When you make a habit of doing things, you could keep up the motivation going.

What is Progress?

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 23 Oct '08

“Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.”

--Khalil Gibran

My Thoughts:

Do not layback under the impression that a small enhancement would change things and that change would mean progress. No, that isn’t.

You should not stop your efforts until you reach a point where you wanted to be. And that’s real progress.

Nothing is Useless

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 22 Oct '08

“Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.”

--Thomas A. Edison

My Thoughts:
This is a very simple, yet powerful statement. Every thing has a purpose, bet it living or otherwise.

So the next time if something or someone doesn’t work the way you wanted. Don’t worry, it is not useless but it is meant to do something else.

The Gem inside you

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 21 Oct '08

“The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials”

--Chinese Proverb

My Thoughts:
A Gem is just a stone until it is polished. And polishing is a painful task for the Gem as well as the polisher.

Similarly a Person is like just any other person until he is polished trials of times. And it is of course a painful task. So the next time when you face a trail then see it as a yet another polishing of the Gem inside you.
