MY FAVOURITE QUOTES

  • Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore

  • When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps

  • If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader

  • You must be the change you wish to see in the world

  • The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them

  • No great man ever complains of want of opportunities

  • If you can imagine it, you can achieve it

  • If you can dream it, you can become it

  • Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength

  • In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years

When Champion Cries...



When this champion is a sportsman and when almost the whole world is watching him and his game (some of them wanting him to win, and the rest wanting the opponent to go one more step ahead and clinch the title).
A champion cried. A successful champion cried at the door of failure. Its hard to know what might be going on in his mind at that point of time, but nevertheless he cried.

Why will a champion cry ?
When will a champion cry ?
What will happen when a champion cries ?
It might mean anything, everything and it is totally left to your interpretation and perception.
But !!!!!!!!
I learnt and felt a few things out of this (in)significant incident. The felt part of it might not be of much use, but this feeling along with the learnt part of it might of some use…. for all of us!!!
If it had been any other day, I would not have given it a thought at all. But, once he was unable to talk, unable to face the crowd who cheered enthusiastically even after losing the match, it pearced hard into my mind.
I know what it feels like when one gave his everything, fighted hard enough but still couldn’t finish it successfully.
BUT thers one leaning here.....................
“You can always change your plan but only once you have one !!!”.
This is what i learnt. He had a plan. He tried it. He failed. But he will come back with another plan next time. May be he fails again, but he will continue having a new plan everytime.
Isn’t that the single simple thing that can drive all of us ! - Yes
Things go wrong even for the best established and for those who are at any level/position.
“Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things”.
Hope these two quotes will remind us of our strengths and efforts to put it. All the best.And yes, what will happen when a champion cries…. his world cries !!!
I cried too.

I promise that i will put my best efforts in achieving things i have dreamt of

MY MOM

When I came drenched in the rain,

My GrandFather told why dont you take an umbrella with you.

My Sister said why not you waited till it stopped.

My Dad angrily said only after getting cold, you will realize.

But my MOTHER,

as she was drying my hair with her saree,was shouting not at me........................................................

But at the RAIN.
