I have watched men climb up to success; hundreds of them, and of all the elements that are important for success, the most important is faith. No great thing comes to any man unless he has courage.- James GibbonsKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1165999354545486462006-12-13T14:12:00.000+05:302006-12-13T14:12:34.640+05:30Impossible To FailAll that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it is impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure towards success- Dorothea BrandeKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1157099535760037762006-09-01T14:02:00.000+05:302006-09-01T14:02:15.760+05:30We don't have a storyWe are the first generation bombarded with so many stories from so many "authorities," none of which are our own... We are saturated with stories; we're saturated with points of view. But the effect of being bombarded with all of these points of view is that we don't have a point of view and we don't have a story. We lose the continuity of our experiences; we become people who are written on fromKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1157099336491004082006-09-01T13:58:00.000+05:302006-09-01T13:58:56.490+05:30The wast nothingnessWhen men who have spent their formative years in extroverted action first turn toward the unknown country of the soul, they soon reach a desert -- the vast nothingness. Before rebirth comes the painful awareness that we have long been dead. Before feeling comes the dreadful knowledge that we have been anesthetized and are numb.- Sam KeenKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1157099208671701912006-09-01T13:56:00.000+05:302006-09-01T13:56:48.676+05:30Nice gets you a C+ in lifeGood men and good women have fire in the belly. We are fierce. Don't mess with us if you are looking for somebody who will always be "nice" to you. ("Nice" gets you a C+ in life.) We don't always smile, talk in a soft voice, or engage in indiscriminate hugs. In the loving struggle between the sexes we thrust and parry.- Sam KeenKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1157098987247845392006-09-01T13:53:00.000+05:302006-09-01T13:53:07.340+05:30Honor your angerAnger is a necessary part of the dance of love. Think of clean anger as the voice of the wise serpent on the early American flag who says, "Don't tread on me." Without anger we have no fire, no thunder and lightning to defend the sanctuary of the self. No anger = no boundaries = no passion.Honor your anger. But before you express it, sort out the righteous from the unrighteous.

The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.- Ethel BarrymoreKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154715591384964592006-08-04T23:49:00.000+05:302006-08-04T23:49:51.400+05:30Do Something BeyondUnless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.- Ralph Waldo EmersonKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154715045494013912006-08-04T23:40:00.000+05:302006-08-04T23:40:45.506+05:30Al big men are dreamersWe grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who hope that their dreams will come true.- Woodrow WilsonKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154714758150213742006-08-04T23:35:00.000+05:302006-08-04T23:35:58.873+05:30Great Desire!Bad will be the day for every man when he becomes absolutely contented with the life he is living, when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger.- Phillips BrooksKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154691861408720002006-08-04T17:14:00.000+05:302006-08-04T17:14:21.423+05:30Patience to accept frustrationDo not ask for fulfillment in all your life, but for patience to accept frustration. Do not ask for perfection in all you do, but for the wisdom not to repeat mistakes. Do not ask for more, before saying Thank-you for what you have already received.- Brenda ShortKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154691553167322802006-08-04T17:09:00.000+05:302006-08-04T17:09:13.166+05:30Hidden treasureTo be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.- AkhenatonKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154691403615614132006-08-04T17:06:00.000+05:302006-08-04T17:06:43.616+05:30Learn wisdom from failureWe learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.- Samuel SmilesKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154691333126640832006-08-04T17:05:00.000+05:302006-08-04T17:05:33.126+05:30Too proud to weepWisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep,too grave to laugh, and too selfful to seek other than itself- Kahlil GibranKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154691159992836012006-08-04T17:02:00.000+05:302006-08-04T17:02:40.463+05:30Wisest personThe wisest person is not the one who has the fewest failures but the one who turns failures to best account.- Richard GrantKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154600855098305682006-08-03T15:57:00.000+05:302006-08-03T15:57:35.096+05:30A butterflyWhat the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.- Lao TzuKiranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11099952621987787747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952565.post-1154600634167199062006-08-03T15:53:00.000+05:302006-08-03T15:53:54.166+05:30Enough is EnoughThere is no greater sin than desire, No greater curse than discontent, No greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself.
