Success by accident

“To succeed is nothing, it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.”

--Marie Leneru

My Thoughts:
I our society, there are predefined things, you do this – you succeed; you do that – you fail. And almost 90% of things fall under this criteria.

So to succeed is just another thing. But yes, when you follow something and then believe that you have followed the set rules, then if you succeed – it’s by accident. Whereas when you believe in you yourself and in whatever you do – that’s your character.

Courage and Fear

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 27 Feb '09

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.”

--Mark Twain

My Thoughts:
You cannot be a driver without a car. When there would be no car, how would you drive. Similarly, you cannot be courageous without fear. Where there would be no fear, against whom would you show the courage?

Courage is not the absence of fear, but it is doing the right thing, correct actions in spite of that fear.

The incomplete truth

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 26 Feb '09

“Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.”

--Charles A. Dana

My Thoughts:
Of course you should fight for your opinion. If you think something is correct then you should stand for your point of view. But there are times that whatever you know could be half the story.

And this half knowledge of yours would have led you to a wrong conclusion. Thus, do not rule out the case that you could be wrong. So stand for your views but don’t be adamant by ignoring the facts that come your way.

Energy of Love

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 25 Feb '09

“Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.”

--Corita Kent

My Thoughts:
Emotions are so contagious. Look at some happy face and you just smile. And look at the sad one and you become sad…

Wherever human emotions are involved, they move beyond that person, beyond all boundaries. These emotion, whether positive or negative, are strong energies that flow in all direction and affect everyone who comes in contact with them.

Society and Salty Water

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 24 Feb '09

“Society, my dear, is like salt water, good to swim in but hard to swallow.”

--Arthur Stringer

My Thoughts:
I always felt that in our society, there are many things that shouldn’t be there. Or it could have been little better.

But then still as it is, without any changes, I can stay in the society – stay happily! But then it is OK that I can stay in this society but difficult to accept few things.

Don’t think of Future

“I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.”

--Albert Einstein

My Thoughts:
Life is so fast moving! You are there just thinking about it and then life surprises you with all together a new thing.

It’s great that you are planning for future, but don’t be so engrossed in the planning that life may surprise you with something new.
