Strengthen your Mind

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 29 Oct '08

“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.”

--Seneca

My Thoughts:
At first when you try to perform a strenuous physical activity, you tend to get tired. But as you make that activity a daily routine, it won’t tire you. This is because your body has been strengthened.

This is same with the mind. If you keep on engaging your mind with difficult task, it is surely going to strengthen against these difficulties.

Proud of what I do

“Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor”

-- Ulysses S. Grant

My Thoughts:
I usually see that people look upon people like Housekeeping personnel, sweepers, janitors and people like them with disgrace. They think that they are doing a job which is disgraceful. But the reality is that if they would have not been doing that job, imagine what would have happed. You might had to do all that stuff by yourself.

As Saint Kabir Das says “what a Sword can do a needle cannot and what a needle can do a sword cannot.” So a Labor, whatever it may be, is certainly not a disgraceful thing. And at the same time, people who don’t do Justice with their job, they are the one who disgrace their labor.
