Is that a diamond or a pebble?

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 7 Jan '09

“A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.”

--Joseph Roux

My Thoughts:
If you gift someone with something, then the receiver has two options – take that gift as precious belonging or just take that gift and throw it in the junk box.

Same is with advise and quotations, it is up to the receiver of the advise – either treat it as precious and use it or to throw it in the junk box by not using it.

Heart and Mouth

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

“The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.”

--Benjamin Franklin

My Thoughts:
My Dad says this “a closed fist is worth million rupees”. Unless the other person knows what is inside your clenched fist, he might think that it’s something precious you are holding, even if you are holding nothing.

So show your wisdom by holding your tongue, wherever you can

The Genius Idiot

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 27 Nov '08

“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”

--Douglas Adams

My Thoughts:
Every genius has a fool inside him and every fool has a genius inside him. Just find out in which category do you belong.

And by the way enjoy the quote.

Ask you Fool…!

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 26 Sept '08

“He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.”

--Chinese Proverb

My Thoughts:
We are always shy to ask. We think that if we would ask, then others might take us as fools or ignorant people.

The fact is there is nothing wrong in asking. We are all born with almost no knowledge. We can learn a lot by asking. If we don’t ask, we would be as ignorant as we were before. So don’t be shy to ask.
