Thought for the Day

[Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another] - Napoleon Hill
 
[There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that result from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. We can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. On the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy] - Dalai Lama
 
[If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success] - John D. Rockefeller
 
[Everyone has passions and talents.



You can have things that you are passionate about but not talented at. You can also have things that you are good at but are not passionate about. Then you have those rare things that you are both passionate about and talented at.



It is a fatal flaw to spend your life pursuing either something you are talented at but not passionate about or talented at but not passionate about.



Make it a journey of yours to find those rare things in life that you are both passionate about and talented at] - Timothy Dodd
 
[When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighbouring communities and so on.

[Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again] - Franklin P. Jones

[Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away] - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
 
[However capable and skillful an individual may be, left alone, he or she will not survive. When we are sick or very young or very old, we must depend on the support of others. There is no significant division between us and other people, because our basic natures are the same. If we wish to ensure everyone’s peace and happiness we need to cultivate a healthy respect for the diversity of our peoples and cultures, founded on an understanding of this fundamental sameness of all human beings] - Dalai Lama
 
[Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success] - Dale Carnegie
