History

A million thanks to Steve for sharing some of his fantastic collection with me!

A billion thanks to Mohammad Ali Jinnah for all his efforts  for all of us.

In future we will be the witness that the history was written on 25^th December.

History is a novel for which the people are the author.  

Power

Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character.

He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better.

The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

New Year

“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning, but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.”

What kind of experience are we sharing in the world.

Weakness or Strength ?

Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move.

"Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.

"No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue."

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"

"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grip your left arm."

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

ACTION

You are a stand-alone device.

You have to manage your own storage.

And you need to be confident enough to take the responsibility of any mistake done by you.

There are risks and costs to action.

But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.

Words In Our Daily Life

No matter how simple precious gems of wisdom maybe,

 Yet they have depth of actual learning that most oversee.

This is because they are taken aback by the mere string of words.

However, where the real essence is concerned,

It is what exists between each word.

The space between the words is where the meaning is hidden.

On meditating on proverbs can one actually learn the actual famous proverbs meanings and weave it into their lives…

Good Morning

A person who has come into my life has come either to teach me something, or to learn something from me.
