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.

Is it done...?

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 7 Nov '08

“I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done."

--Gautam Buddha

My Thoughts:
I have heard about a research that says if a driver while driving looks at the road and not at the obstacles, then he is having a lesser chance to hit any obstacle.

Here I am not trying to teach driving but it is very important that you concentrate more on your goals and don't look back to what has be done...!

What the world needs?

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 6 Nov '08

"You can not do all the good the world needs, but the world needs all the good you can do."

--Anonymous

My Thoughts:

A Zillion drops make a sea. If you take away one from from it, it does not matter. But still that drop had its part in making the sea.

Similar are our good deeds. Each small one count to make this world a better place to live.

Forgive and don’t forgive

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 5 Nov '08

“Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.”

--Ausonius

My Thoughts:
Give a thought on this noble quote….every time we forgive ourselves, we are actually pampering ourselves. And that’s human tendency……everything is forgiven if it is me.

We have to actually learn to discipline ourselves and try to forget others.

The exact timing

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 4 Nov '08

“Between too early and too late, there is never more than a moment.”

--Franz Werfel

My Thoughts:
Every event has a specific time. A time which is predefined by the Almighty, and all the events have to follow the timings.

So there is nothing like too late or too early. There is only one exact time.

Encouraged with difficulties

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Monday, 3 Nov '08

“Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.”

--William Ellery Channing

My Thoughts:
As we have seen in the previous quotes, difficulties are the way how life teaches you a lesson. Difficulties are meant to train you to think big, act big.

Learn from your difficulties…..that is the basic Mantra of life….!

Success and failure

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Sunday, 2 Nov '08

“Success isn't permanent, and failure isn't fatal.”

--Mike Ditka

My Thoughts:
Success is a timely event that last for a span of time. Achieving Success doesn’t mean that you would be always at the top.

The other way round is for failure; if you fail, it doesn’t mean that you are a looser. But the only condition for this is that you have to learn from your failure.

Economize

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 1 Nov '08

“He who will not economize will have to agonize.”

--Confucius

My Thoughts:
We all know the story of The Ant and The Grasshopper. The Ant works in the summer and collects food for winter where as the Grasshopper dances and sings all summer until it has no food to eat for winter.

Pointing to this story I am not talking about conservation, but of a thin balance of managing things. During this time of Economic crisis, the world over, this Quote is more applicable than ever before.

People and History

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 31 Oct '08

"History never repeats itself, as most people fear. People usually repeat history."

--Divine Chikobvu

My Thoughts:
It is we Humans, who make History and Repeat them. It is we, who do not learn from our mistakes or from mistakes of others.

So if you don’t learn from Mistakes, you would then make a mistake of saying that History repeats itself.

Common Sense

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 30 Oct '08

“Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing”

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Thoughts:
I have heard and observed that these days Common Sense is a bit un-common these days. We all tend to be and act in an un-common way….we, in our daily life, try to unnecessarily make simple things complicated.

But remember one thing, making things simple and dealing with them in a simple way would make your job simple.
