winning.

fact is an essential part of wisdom.

- Krishnananda

We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other. To meet, to
love, to share. It is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is
a little parentheses in eternity. If we share with caring,
lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for
each other, and this moment will have been worthwhile.
- Deepak Chopra, M.D.

As fuel that is wet burns with that which is dry, so a sinless man
is punished equally with the sinful in consequence of constant
association with the latter

It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.

Have a great week ahead full of joy and success!!!!!!!!!

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the
opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have
maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
- Swett Marden quotes

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect.
There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect
conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you
will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and
more self-confident and more and more successful."
- Mark Victor Hansen quotes

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream
of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part
of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea
alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual
giants are produced."
-Swami Vivekananda

There is no parallel to the peace of mind that people get when they
are content and happy. Just look at the other extreme, people
who are greedy and dissatisfied are running from pillar to post in
search of wealth.
-Subhashita

We measure the effectiveness of the true leader not in terms of the
leadership he exercises but in terms of the leadership he evokes;
not in terms of his power over others, but in terms of the power he
releases in others; not in terms of the goals he sets and the
direction he gives but in terms of the plans of action others work
out for themselves with his help; not in terms of decisions made,
events completed, and the inevitable success and growth that follow
from such released energy, but in terms of growth in competence,
sense of responsibility, and in personal satisfaction among many
participants. Under this kind of leadership it may not always be
clear at any given moment who is leading. Nor is this important.
What is important is that others are learning to lead well.
—ROBERT W. GALVIN

The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is
also the return of art to life.

aspires to victory should spare no pains to form his soldiers.  And
he who hopes for success should fight on principle, not chance.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by

Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they
think they can do. You can go as far as you mind lets you. What you

physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close
collision in critical moments that man measures man.

life, and not something you do in your spare time.

-Marion Wright Edelman



To enhance the quality of the day... That is the highest of the arts.

- Henry David Thoreau



The goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent
in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we
say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what
he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he
discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of
infinite knowledge.

-Swami Vivekananda

itself or after an eon, great men never step a foot away from the

carefully ponder over its consequences. Or else, the result of  an
act done in haste keeps piercing the heart like an arrow even after
death.
-Subhashita

Our greatest battles are that with our own minds.

As gold is tested in four ways by rubbing, cutting, heating and
beating - so a man should be tested by these four things:  his
renunciation, his conduct, his qualities and his actions.
-Chanakya niti


Grief drives men to serious reflection, sharpens the understanding
and softens the heart.
- John Adams


Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius,
magic and power in it. Begin it now.
- Goethe

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem
half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are
important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way
you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to  loving
others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote
yourself to creating something that gives you purpose  and meaning.
- Morrie Schwartz

Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it's

right. - Walt Disney

Wicked people decry a modest person as dull, a person observing
religious vows as showy, a holy person as a charlatan, a  brave one
as cruel, a hermit as foolish, a soft-spoken person as meek, a
bright one as vain, an orator as a glib-talker and a  patient person
as weak. Is there any quality of the virtuous that the wicked do not
condemn?
-Bhartrhari

Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the
ability to learn new things and to move forward with your life.
- Dr.David M. Burns

Listening is a high art of loving. Ask yourself, "When was the last
time I really listened to my child? My parent? My brother  or
sister?" When someone is ready to share, three magic words amplify
your connection, and they are: "Tell me more."
-Rev. Mary Manin Morrissey

Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was

That which we persist in doing becomes easier - not that the nature
of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased.
- Emerson

The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal.
It can't be organized or regulated.
It isn't true that everyone should follow one path.
Listen to your own truth.
-Ramdas

Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value.
- Albert Einstein

The path of service is formidable.  It is difficult even for a yogi
to follow.  If a man in service remains quiet, then he is  called
dumb. If he is quick-witted, then he is described as loquacious.  If
he stays close by, then he is taken to be  audacious, and if he
maintains a distance, then is considered as shy.  If he is tolerant,
then he is regarded as timid, and  if he is unable to bear
indignities, then he is known as ill bred.
-Subhashita

There is no accomplishment in life better than a peace of mind and a
happy home.

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and
probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in
hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded
will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing,
asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.
- Daniel H. Burnham

Every truth has two sides. It is well to look at both sides before we
commit ourselves to either side.
- Aesop

A man of culture does not speak unpleasantly though burnt by the
burning coals of displeasing talk. Does the fragrant aloe  wood
abandon its natural fragrance when being burnt?

Accumulated wealth is saved by spending just as incoming fresh water
is saved by letting out stagnant water.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present

-Ramdas

Throughout the years of your life you will face many challenges,
remember that you can climb the highest mountain, drive through the

good deeds.  He conceals the unseemly secrets of a  friend,
projecting only his good qualities.  He does not desert his friend in
difficulties, but gives timely assistance.   Saints describe these as
the characteristics of a true friend.
-Subhashita

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind
word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest  act of
caring,all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
-Leo Buscaglia

In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had
better aim at something high.
- Henry David Thoreau

inside. It is as though something inside your body responds  and
says, yes, this is how I ought to feel.

what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the
interrelated structure of reality.

It is wise to keep a wicked person at arm's length even if he or she
is full of knowledge. Isn't a snake dreadful even though  it is
crowned with a jewel?

colour and suspense to all our lives.

With the ocean set ablaze
The smoke yet manifests not
Only the one who gets burnt
Envisions the heat of loving thought

To me - old age is 15 years older than I am.
- Bernard M. Baruch

We have every reason to look forward into the future with hope and
excitement. Fear nothing and no one. Work honestly. Be good, be happy.
And remember that each of you is unique, your soul your own,
irreplaceable, and individual in the miracle of your mortal frame.
- Pearl S. Buck


Without haste, but without rest.
- Goethe

One well born, though insulted, does not hit back in the same strain
due to his inborn natural courtesy. The sandal tree does  not exude
filth even to him who cuts it with an axe.

wife, food given by Providence and wealth acquired by  honest effort;
but one should never feel satisfied with the following three; study,
chanting the holy names of the Lord  and  charity.

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a

everything to do, and you've done it.

Have a great week ahead full of joy and success!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teamwork is neither "good" nor "desirable." It is a fact. Wherever
people work together or play together they do so as a team. Which team
to use for what purpose is a crucial, difficult and risky decision
that is even harder to unmake. Managements have yet to learn how to
make it.
- Peter F. Drucker

When people have nothing, all they want is a handful of grains. When
they become wealthy, they treat the world like a straw.  Material
objects by themselves are not great or worthless. It is the
fluctuating fortune of people that makes things appear  big or small.
-Bhartrhari

I am responsible for my own well-being, my own hapiness.  The choices
and decisions I make regarding my life directly  influences the
quality of my days.
-Kathleen Andrus

Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness,
fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas  that are in
the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.
-Swami Vivekananda

Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday
life and share with the people the same happiness.
- Kahlil Gibran

Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it
for yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit  of joy
greater than you ever believed possible.
-Norman Vincent Peale
