Invasion of armies can be resisted
But not an idea whose time has come

True wealth is having enough money and enough time to do what you want and when you want

Never let Negative people steal your dream

Realize your dreams instead of compromising your dreams

Opportunities are never missed. Someone else just takes advantage of them first

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life— It goes on.

We are what we repeatedly do

For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

And above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning

The best way to keep one's word is not to give it

All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared

For myself, I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else

Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm

The price of greatness is responsibility

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give

Thoughts
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.

Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations. There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because, you see, humor is truth.

Humor is just another defense against the universe.

Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.

Warning: Humor may be hazardous to your illness.
Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.

If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
MUhammad Ali's Thoughts
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams — they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do — they all contain truths.

The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

Forgive

Forgiving is a best medicine to releave our mental ulcer and in the long term to releave stomach ulcer also !

Chemist who falls in acid will be tripping for weeks!

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the act of strong.

Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts.

Starting your own firm
Some realities
Most engineers make for very poor salesmen, financial planners, marketers, and strategists. Which are as essential to a business as good technology or product.

A software startup need 3 kinds of people
You need someone with creative energy and vision who can ariculate that vision in a way that motivates both clients and employees. You need a financially minded individual who can see the vision and convert it into dollars and cents - making sure that its a viable venture. and you need an imaginative technical lead who can turn the vision into a product that meets the needs of the client and keeps to the bottom line. It's not just a matter of writing code and raking in the bucks.

Starting a successful software company has more to do with having a realistic idea of exactly what you need to do, and a *tremendous* amount of perserverance.

Thought... Don't Listen to negative people

Story of a baby frog
Once upon a time there was a bunch of baby frogs....
participating in a competition.
The target was to get to the top of a high tower.
A crowd of people had gathered to observe the race and encourage the participants.....
The start shot rang out.......
Quite honestly:
None of the onlookers believed that the baby frogs could actually accomplish getting to the top of the tower.
Words like:
"Åh, it's too difficult!!!
They'll never reach the top."
or: "Not a chance... the tower is too high!"
One by one some of the baby frogs fell off…
...Except those who fastly climbed higher and higher..
The crowd kept on yelling:
"It's too difficult. Nobody is going to make it!"
More baby frogs became tired and gave up...
...But one kept going higher and higher.....
He was not about giving up!
At the end everybody had given up, except the one determined to reach the top!
All the other participants naturally wanted to know how he had managed to do what none of the others had been able to do!
One competitor asked the winner, what was his secret?
The truth was.......
The winner was deaf!!!!

The lesson to be learned:
Don't ever listen to people who are negative and pessimistic...
…they will deprive you of your loveliest dreams and wishes you carry in your heart!
Always be aware of the power of words, as everything you hear and read will interfere with your actions!
Therefore: Always stay… POSITIVE!
And most of all:
Turn a deaf ear when people tell you, that you cannot achieve your dreams!
Always believe: You can make it!


After the game the king and the pawn go in the same box

Some Soothing Thoughts
Trouble is a part of life . If you dont share it, you dont give a chance to the person who love you a chance to love you enough

No one can go back and make a brand new start. But anyone can start now and make a brand new ending.

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you have to say. Good friends listen to what you don't say!

When you feel down because you didnt get what you want, just sit tight and be happy because God has thought of something better to give you.

If we want to gain someone's attention
Or want to do something good for human being or want to be a good person
Then much difficulty and problem may occur in our way
But we should never give up hope
Instead keep on doing till we reach our goal
Once we may not succed, try twice, if no success then try thrice
Give enough time to the full capacity , then wait for the result
As we know that
God helps all those who are constantly trying to achieve something.

There are lots of stars in the sky
But few are radient enought to catch your attention
Among those that you chose to ignore
There will one star that will continue shining for you
Even if your glance remains elsewhere
It does not need to expect anything from your side
And have no regrets
Whether you stare it or not
Its upto you
How you look upon it
