Two reasons to die

“Men die for two diametrically opposed reasons: when they value what they seek to defend, and when there is nothing worth living for.”

--M. J. Akbar

My Thoughts:
There is some purpose of your valuable life – this is what I have been telling in my previous quotes. And I repeat this again.

When you die, people would remember your deeds, the cause you lived for. In this world, there are people who live for a cause and there are others who don’t have a cause. So which group you want to belong?

Never got that

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 17 Mar '09

“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.”

--Jonathan Swift

My Thoughts:
As I had said yesterday, about my appraisal discussion……I tried in all verbal ways to convince my boss that I deserve a better rating but that of course didn’t work.

Then I occurred to me, the words of my Prof. Anthony. He said that teachers don’t give marks to students because they never got those marks. Same applies here, my jerk boss never got a good rating….and the story goes……

Is the ship safe?

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 8 Jan '09

“The world is not interested in the storm you encountered, but whether you brought the ship to safety”

--Anonymous

My Thoughts:
Yesterday I met an old friend of mine. He is in the Indian Army. He shared lots of his army experiences with me and he says that in army they accept no excuses. They say its your look-out, that’s your problem.

Well and I realize that many a times in this world nobody is interested whether you had a problem or some difficulty. All they want to see is you performing and giving results.

Prisoners of mind

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 30 Dec '08

“Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.”

--Franklin D. Roosevelt

My Thoughts:
I have a pre-decided destiny and I believe in fate. And it is said that if something is going to land up with you then nobody can take it away from you and vice versa.

If something is in my fate, then it is surely be mines. Then the question is why should I try? This is how we become  prisoners of our own mind.

Laugh at the Confusion

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Monday, 29 Dec '08

“Someday everything will all make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason”

--Anonymous

My Thoughts:
Yes, everything happens for a reason. And most of us are not intelligent enough to understand this.

So by the time when things start making sense, you enjoy life the way it comes.

Distance within you

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 12 Dec '08

“We may go to the moon, but that's not very far. The greatest distance we have to cover still lies within us.”

--Charles de Gaulle

My Thoughts:
We could have achieved a lot of milestones in life, earned lots of money, fame and achievements. But that’s not a great deal, lot many like you have done that. And that’s not certainly main mission on Earth.

When you discover you mission, you would have made a great leap towards covering that distance within you. That distance which asks – why are you here?

No reason for Loving

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 20 Sept '08

"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."

--Paulo Coelho

My Thoughts:
Why do you love your Parents? Why do you love your Wife? Why do you love your Friends? Certainly you never answered such questions before you loved someone.

There is certainly no reason you can give for loving a person. You simply love that person….nothing much to think….!
