Muscle Strength

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 11 Mar '09

“Real strength is not just a condition of one's muscle, but tenderness in one's spirit.”

--McCallister Dodds

My Thoughts:
Mother Teresa was a old woman, weaker physically. But does that physical weakness stop her from spreading the message of peace? Certainly not!

All that matters is the strength of the inside. The strength to do the right thing is courage.

A bamboo and an Oak

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Sunday, 16 Nov '08

“The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.”
--Japanese Proverb

My Thoughts:
At times it is difficult for us to accept our mistakes. At such occasions most of us think that if we accept our mistakes, then probably others would look upon us as a weak person.

But the reality is that it is the quality of a strong person that he is able to realize and accept his mistakes. So be like a Bamboo that bends at occasion and not like the Oak that resists and break.

Accept your self

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 8 Nov '08

“The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable”

--Paul Tillich

My Thoughts:
At times there comes a situation where we are unable to do things that others can do. And when we face such situations, we usually get discouraged and demotivated.

But we have to understand that not everyone can do everything. Each one of us is unique having unique set of strength and weaknesses. So accept yourself the way you are and start benefiting from your strenghts and overcome your weaknesses.
