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.

Advance towards Perfection

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 1 Oct '08

"Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood."

--Kahlil Gibran

My Thoughts:
Another Jewel from Khalil Gibran…..this always gives us the courage when we are stuck with something. We had seen in the previous quote that it is no matter of worry if you are advancing slowly, but you have to make sure that you never halt.

Same thing gets highlighted in this quote. We many a times worry about the pains and trials that crosses our path, but bear one thing in mind, these trails are only making you near perfect….Believe me!

Life without Love

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Sunday, 21 Sept '08

"Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit."

--Kahlil Gibran

My Thoughts:
A tree which is giving a fruit or is blossoming is said to be at the peak of its achievement. Similarly, as the scholars say, a person who is in love or is loved by someone is at the peak of his achievement in life.

Is this not a great achievement that someone is loving you….?
