Philosophy of century

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 7 Feb '09

“The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next”

--Henry Ward

My Thoughts:
Yes it is. A few decades back supercomputers or rather computers were rather a philosophy or great ideas.

But now they are so common. Even the old supercomputers can’t compete with today’s mobile phones. So that only means that your kids would be much smatter than you are!

Discover Wisdom

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 6 Feb '09

“We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.”

--Marcel Proust

My Thoughts:
You have the capability of being wise. But wisdom is not that you can buy. Nor can someone pass it to you.

You have to search for it. And you have to search it first in yourself. And you can find it by having a journey; the journey of life which no one can take for you.

We are not lost

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 5 Feb '09

“We're not lost. We're locationally challenged.”

--John M. Ford

My Thoughts:
That’s a management way of saying that I am lost. Just enjoy the quote!

Rubber Sword

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 4 Feb '09

“Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood.”

--Mary Hirsch

My Thoughts:
I have tried that, many a times, and it certainly works. You could hit the point; get your work done even without hurting someone.

But let me tell you that this does works in all situations. You cannot go to war with a rubber sword. So when you actually have to draw blood, this wont work.

Hate not him

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 3 Feb '09

“Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.”

--J. G. C. Brainard

My Thoughts:
If your best friend was suffering from certain disease, would you hate him? Certainly not, but you would hate his disease.

Similarly, a person is not evil, but his actions are. He is actually suffering from a disease of evil. So don’t hate the person, hate the disease of evil and vice in him.

What you give them to think

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Monday, 2 Feb '09

“You are not responsible for what people think about you. But you are responsible for what you give them to think about you.”

--Stanley Ferrard

 My Thoughts:
Of course you don’t have control over people’s mind and thoughts. Nor can you stop them from thinking. But like process needs an input to get an output, like wise, the thought process also needs an input to give an output - the better the input, the better the output.

And this is now in your hands that you feed people with good input. And the input here is your actions. The better your actions are, the better people would think about you.

Don't Love your Company

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Sunday, 1 Feb '09

“Love your job but don't love your company because you may not know when your company stops loving you.”

--Dr. Abdul Kalam

My Thoughts:
So that’s more direct quote, especially in times when companies have started laying off people.

That’s it from my side, not much to say.

Find the ridiculous

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 31 Jan '09

“Look for the ridiculous in everything and you will find it.”

--Jules Renard

My Thoughts:
As I have told I my previous thoughts that a person, specially the so called knowledgeable men, would see everything as ridiculous.

But if you understand, then every thing is what it is for a reason. And it is totally ridiculous to think that something is ridiculous because it is not the way you wanted.

Magical Roses

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 30 Jan '09

“All of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.”

--Dale Carnegie

My Thoughts:
Don’t we all day dream? We all do that. We think of big things, and that’s OK. There is no harm in thinking big. In fact you should think big to act big.

But that does not mean that you be lost in your big thoughts and dream and stop living your present and real life. No, enjoy the present because it’s a present so that you can achieve your dreams.

Spotlight of hard work

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 29 Jan '09

“Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.”

--Sam Ewing

My Thoughts:
Hard work not only highlights the character of a person but also many more things. It tells you how a person looks at things.

His attitude towards life and work, how he handles situations and take decisions.
