The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Peace begins with a smile.

Possibilities are negative if you are negative; to grow in all that you do, ensure you are always being POSITIVE

We were not made to be controlled by circumstances, but made to control circumstances. Know who you are and be in charge.

Keep Your Face To The Sunshine And You Cannot See The Shadows

Life Consists Not In Holding Good Cards But In Playing Well Those You Hold

May the pain you have known and conflict you have experienced
Give you the strength to walk through life
Facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those whose love and understanding
Will always be there, even when you feel most alone.

May you discover enough goodness in others
To believe in a world of peace.

May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours
Every day of your life,
And may you give these gifts as well as receive them.

Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

Teach love to those who know hate,
And let that love embrace you as you go into the world.

- Lucky Jhunjhunwala

The Tragedy Of Life Is Not That It Ends So Soon, But That We Wait So Long To Begin It.

Life has 10% as What Happens To Us And 90% of it is How We React.

It is impossible for a man to be truly free if he will not think for himself, or to fully confine one who will.

Rather than following proven paths, once in a while, try going where there is no path and leave a trail.

I feel lazy in my mornings but if I gather the strength to get up and get busy then I stay productive.

I dream up big and unrealistic targets and work each day to achieve them. All successful men/women are dreamers.

Even if I don’t achieve my goals in the short run, I strive towards perfection and I keep my belief in my goals.

The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. He frees himself and shows the way to others. Freedom and slavery are mental states.

Non-violence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

~ Socrates (B.C. 469 – 399)

In other words, “You don’t know what you don’t know”.

Do not waste your strength in complaints. If you be grateful for lack of reasons to complain, you will find less and less of those reasons.

- Sathya Sai Vahini, Ch 22: “Eternal Truths”.

“You dont know what you dont know”.

Leadership is about delegation and not perfection.

Delegation has to have both components. Power alone would call for misuse and responsibility alone would cost efficiency.

Which one do I choose would depend on how much I value my career and its growth over the long run and how much I value money today. There are enough examples out there. Things like training, honesty, reliability, permanence, stability, brand name, long term career, career dynamics and of course compensation play a significant role in one’s decision around his/her career. Most of these would often make one ignore the value of money but that attitude is getting lost with each passing generation. The young would choose to earn more today and figure out things as they come along in the future. And an argument on this would be without a winner.

Whatever difficult situation you are going through, just smile!

Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take a moment and make it perfect!

People who see the problem before anyone else are the great ones.

For your months and years, work hard and let life take its course.

Remember the Bhagwad Geeta: “perform actions without desire and attachment”

FACTS not FICTION eliminates FRICTION.

It is possible to fail in many ways…while to succeed is possible only in one way.
- Aristotle

I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
- Bill Cosby

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.
- G. K. Chesterton

- Melissa Williams-Robinson

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
- Martha Washington

I happen to feel that the degree of a person’s intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting attitudes she can bring to bear on the same topic.
- Lisa Alther

• Innocence was natural.
• Getting High meant for a swing
• Drinking meant Rasna Orange
• Dad was the only hero
• Love was Mom’s hug
• Dad’s shoulder was the highest place on Earth
• Your worst enemies were your siblings
• Only things that you could hurt were skinned knees
• Only things broken were toys
• Good Byes only meant till tomorrow

Life has changed a lot but there is till that innocence/child in you. Spend each day remembering those days and change little of those good things about you that made people love you.

In another words: Give without prejudice; receive with open arms.

We are all students of life; it’s how we handle it that gives us the degree.

Remember the things that made you glad, forget the things that made you sad. Remember the friends that are always there by you, forget those that proved untrue. Always remember that you are the most important person in your life. Treat yourself with LOVE & Respect. Celebrate the fact that you are alive. The past is gone so… it cannot be undone. All we can do is learn from it to help for a better future, which is yet to come.

Do not let the red ambers of yesterday, burn brighter than the fire of today

Sometimes when you TRY to get people to see the real you, you stop being the real you.

- Prema Vahini, Chapter ‘The Harvest of a Sadhaka’.
