I've seen what a good laugh can do. It can transform tears into hope.
-Bob Hope

When water is mixed with milk, the milk gives water all of its own
qualities. Seeing the milk suffer [being heated], the  water
sacrifices itself [begins to get evaporated]. Seeing its friend's
distress, the milk gets ready to take on the fire  [begins to
overflow with effervescence]. When reunited with water [i.e. water
is sprinkled on it], it calms down. Such is the  friendship between
good people.
-Bhartrhari

Often, the greatest challenge facing an organization is recognizing

Laziness is the great enemy within. There is no friend like
dynamism, having whom no person suffers.

Gold is tested by fire; a well-born person, by his deportment; an

of panic; he that is self-controlled, in times of poverty; and

Sages are those who teach their students with words refined through
the study of the scriptures.  If these eminent ones live  in
poverty, it only shows the folly of the ruler of that kingdom, for

gem does not decline because of bad evaluation by an incompetent
jeweller.

achievements through loving work.

cannot defeat me.'

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I."
And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I."
They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They
understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept
responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit....
This is what  creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.
- Peter Drucker

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The
ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational
objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain
uncommon  results.

For all your days prepare
And meet them ever alike
When you are the anvil, bear
When you are the hammer, strike.

Except man, all animals grow horizontally. Only man grows vertically.
Instead of growing horizontally, it is God's will that we should grow
vertically in order to look up. God has given to animals devices for
self-protection; to man alone He has given intelligence
-H.H. Chandrashekara Saraswathi

To have ability for eating when dishes are ready at hand, to have a
