One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.

Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.

Be a fountain, not a drain.


You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. (Plato)

We must use time as a tool, not as a coach. (John F. Kennedy)


All the Dears are not Nears and all the Nears are not Dears.
It is easy to remember the Nears but very difficult to forget the Dears.


Somebody whom you love comes to your life just for two reasons:
Either for loving you forever OR to teach you not to love again ever.

It is Possible to cross an ocean without wetting your legs
But it is Impossible to cross Life without wetting your Eyes.


Your Silence which persuades people to talk with you is much better than your talk which compels others to make you Silent...

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind. (Buddha)

Friendship is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.Muhammad Ali (Boxer)
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - Excellence.
To know how to do something well is to Enjoy it.


People who lead a lonely existence always have something on their minds that they are eager to talk about..

Courage and cheerfulness will not only carry you over the rough places in life, but will enable you to bring comfort and help to the weak-hearted and will console you in the sad hours.

Your Pain May Give Laugh To Somebody But Your Laugh Shouldn't Give Pain To Anybody.----!!!! Charlie Chaplin

No matter how noble your intentions are, World judges you by your presentations & No matter how good your presentations are, ALLAH judges you by your intentions.

Strong feelings do not necessarily make a strong character. The strength of a man is to be measured by the power of the feelings he subdues not by the power of those which subdue him.

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting...

Don't try to have relations with the personality who achieve great heights,Have relations with the personality who can hold you when you fall from a great height.

A loyal personality is better than a royal personality.

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning. Bill Gates

If you can't make it good, at least make it look good. Bill Gates


You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? O man, because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God."

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do to you if you do not act on upon them? Buddha

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes. Peter Drucker

If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

Thumbs up

If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream. Martin Luther King, Jr

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. Dale Carnegie


Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. Lin Yutang


The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.


Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers. Robert Ingersoll


When hope is hungry, everything feeds it. Mignon McLaughlin


The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope. Samuel Johnson


Things which you do not hope happen more frequently than things which you do hope. Titus Maccius Plautus


The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination. Marian Zimmer Bradley


Hope is grief's best music. Author Unknown


Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.


HELEN KELLER:
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

“Obey the principles without being bound by them.”

“Let the spirit out - Discard all thoughts of reward, all hopes of praise and fears of blame, all awareness of one's bodily self. And, finally closing the avenues of sense perception, let the spirit out, as it will

To the world you may be but one, but to one you might be the world.


You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.
Plato

Women are made to be loved, not understood.
Oscar Wilde

The best way out of a difficulty is through it.
Will Rogers

Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Aristotle

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong. Winston Churchill


If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. Buddha


I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Dalai Lama

“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” – Alexander Graham Bel

“One has to live in the present. Whatever is past is gone beyond recall; whatever is future remains beyond one’s reach, until it becomes present. Remembering the past and giving thought to the future are important, but only to the extent that they help one deal with the present.” – S.N. Goenka

“Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life… Therein he cannot be re*placed, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.” – Viktor Frankl

The sky has never been the limit. We are our own limits. It’s then about breaking our personal limits and outgrowing ourselves to live our best lives.

If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. Milton Berle

“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.” – Jim Rohn

“Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities” – Terry Josephson

(Tool+Training+Experience) x Mindset = Goal/Success —- BUT if your mindset is zero then equation is (100 + 100 +100) x 0 = Failure

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

There’s no next time. It’s now or never.”

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.~

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once. Lillian Dickson

The moral duty to be expected in different ages is not a unity of standard, or of acts, but a unity of tendency. At one time the benevolent affections embrace merely the family, soon the circle expanding includes first a class, then a nation, then a coalition of nations, then all humanity and finally, its influence is felt in the dealings of man with the animal world.-- Source Unknown

Have a purpose in life and having it, throw into your work such strength of mind and muscle as God has given you. -- Carlyle

If anyone advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life in which he has imagined, he will meet a success unexpected in common hours. -Henry David-

"I believe everything happens for a reason! People change so you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so that you will eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes, good things fall apart, so better things can fall together." --- Marilyn Monroe

True success comes to those who strive for greatness without surrendering to defeat. You can overcome anything when you possess the unstoppable drive to do so.

"There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it."-Napoleon Hill

Having complete control over your own mind will allow you to manage any situation at hand. If you can maintain a positive approach, you can achieve anything.

"Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working 24 hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force." -Tom Blandi

Part of being a successful person is remembering others and how everyone may thrive from your actions and ideas. True happiness and self-satisfaction are not measured by material possessions. It is rather the way you influence others and how you develop from your accomplishments, which makes your life significant.

Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy. (Aristotle)

All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind. (Aristotle)

“To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility -- these are marks of maturity and graciousness.”(William Arthur Ward)

“Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire.” (Kurt Tucholsky)

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” (John Fitzgerald Kennedy)

“Every generation needs a new revolution.” (Thomas Jefferson)

There is no fire like passion
No crime like hatred,
No sorrow like separation,
No sickness like hunger,
And no joy like the joy of freedom.
(Buddha)

The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom. (Buddha)

By the skilful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise. ADOLF HITLER

We want the people to be peace-loving, but also to be courageous.

I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few.

It matters not whether these weapons of ours are humane: if they gain us our freedom, they are justified before our conscience and before our God.

If freedom is short of weapons, we must compensate with willpower. ADOLF HITLER

I go the way that Providence dictates with the assurance of a sleepwalker. ADOLF HITLER

Life never forgives weaknesses. Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (My Struggle)

If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things. Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (My Struggle)

What we have to fight for … is the freedom and independence of the fatherland.

While the Goddess of suffering took me in her arms often threatening to crush me... my will to resistance grew and in the end that will was victorious. Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (My Struggle)


In this world him who does not abandon himself the Almighty will not desert. Him who helps himself will the Almighty always also help; He will show him the way by which he can gain his rights, his freedom, and therefore his future.

I say that they [problems] can be solved; there is no problem that cannot be, but faith is necessary. Think of the faith I had to have eighteen years ago, a single man on a lonely path. Yet I have come to leadership of the German people... Life is hard for many, but it is hardest if you are unhappy and have no faith. Have faith. Adolf Hitler


Only so you can appeal to your God and pray Him to support and bless your courage, your work, your perseverance, your strength, your resolution, and with all these your claim on life. Adolf Hitler

It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge. Adolf Hitler

"We do not learn history just in order to know the past, we learn history in order to find an instructor for the future and for the continued existence of our own nationality." Adolf Hitler

Every form of force that is not supported by a spiritual backing will be always indecisive and uncertain. Adolf Hitler


Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin. Aesop

The judgment whether a person is virtuous or not virtuous can hardly be passed by a human being. That should be left to God. Adolf Hitler

The more blatant a lie, the more people will believe it. Adolf Hitler
