Greatest glory

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 21 Nov '08

 “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.”

--Confucius

My Thoughts:
Success is always relative. To you, reading this Blog can be a normal stuff, but for a visually impaired person it could be a great feat.

So to be consistently not failing, in other words, always being a winner can be your regular job and that’s not a real achievement. Your glory is manifested when you actually fail, but don’t loose courage till you achieve success. And this is how you see the contrast.

Economize

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 1 Nov '08

“He who will not economize will have to agonize.”

--Confucius

My Thoughts:
We all know the story of The Ant and The Grasshopper. The Ant works in the summer and collects food for winter where as the Grasshopper dances and sings all summer until it has no food to eat for winter.

Pointing to this story I am not talking about conservation, but of a thin balance of managing things. During this time of Economic crisis, the world over, this Quote is more applicable than ever before.
