“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything.”

We often wonder if we should do that thing or not. Well, first of all, you should stop wondering and put your dreams into action. Most of us have heard that ' Great people don't become great because they failed, but because they tried.' They tried to do something that no one else did. I am pretty sure that the others thought or even dreamt of it, but they didn't have the courage to attempt it which these great people had. Time passes fast and when it goes away from your hands, you'll regret that moment.And once a wise guy told me that "Close your eyes and imagine, what all you could accomplish if you weren't afraid."So, before anyone else takes your dream, or destroys it, build up courage and at least try!

“A year from now you will wish you had started today.”

Our habit of postponing things have now started coming in our way of success. We don't get it! Do we? That we are always wishing, but just think for a second, that what if the things you have always wished for came true. It seems impossible for a while, bu then if you see, there is at least 50% probability of you fulfilling your wish and this 50% depends on your will and curiosity to fulfill your wish. Have you ever heard people saying, or maybe you yourself saying that " If I have started that day, I would have finished it by now!" This is the most negative sentence of our lives. Never think of the past, always think about the future, of what you can do now. So, from now on, rather than saying that, you will try to say ' Let me finish this work now!' 

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

We always dream of perfection and end up saying stuff like, ' If I had longer hair, I would be perfect. If I had, If I had, ' But, we don't realise that with just saying these lines perfection will not come to us. Not that I am de-motivating you people, but you can never be perfect, you can only be better. Even if you think you are perfect, people will never think the same as, their meaning of perfection is different. But, the more you try to be perfect, the more you will excel at things you never thought you could. First you have to do the things that are necessary, then do the possible and the you'll realise that you are doing the impossible. 

If you don't like where you are, change it. You're not a tree.

We all have studied something about the difference between non-living things ( Trees ) and living things ( Humans ). But, we always have a question striking our mind that 'why do we need to study all this?' Well, I can't exactly answer that question. But yes I can suggest you to use some of the knowledge gained from that theory and move on. Trees don't have a option, but we do. We even have our minds to think so when god is so generous to give us strength to move and think, can't we be a little thankful and use our minds and legs. Take control of things around you and take a step ahead ( Not the wrong way :P ). So, Follow your heart using your mind, not your mind using your heart. 

“If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies.”

We are mostly in the prison of what other people think, which leads us to think about the imperfection of everything around ourselves and even ourselves. The most usual thoughts that strike our minds are like, ' what will he think? ', ' Will she find me good looking in these pants and shirt?' , ' They will not talk to me because I am not wearing anything branded.', etc. But why don't we think, ' I am looking the best' , ' These pants and shirt makes me look smart.' .' They won't even notice my clothes and unbranded stuff if I keep up my confidence.' , etc. These thoughts even bring positive vibrations throughout our body making us the happiest. When you this type of attitude of taking everything positively, no one will be able to shake you. So, keep up your positive attitude towards everything and everyone. 

“Let go of the thoughts that don't make you strong.”

Most of us have a habit of thinking way too much which isn't even necessary or safe. At the end of our thinking session, we end up putting ourselves into a trap which is so strong that is is nearly impossible to come out of it. So, what we have to do is just try to relax our minds for a while and push away all the negative thoughts that comes into our minds. The moment you have just positive thoughts in your mind, you will be able to find solutions to the problems you never thought you could solve. So, just try to control your thoughts and be positive. The more you be positive, the more progress you'll see in yourself. 

If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good.

We are always waiting for something to happen in our lives, something extraordinary, something interesting and something exciting. But, we often forget that we are the only ones who can make things happen, we have to live up and do the things we have dreamt and wished for.  It's like walking on a straight road and expecting it to have turns and become a hill, etc. If you want to do something, do it now or else later in life you'll regret it. That time you would only be able to wish that you would have done it when you were young. So, make things happen !

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

We always have a fear of failing even before we have started. We think of various failures which aren't even possible. Eg. If you are going to a singing competition and before that you think of various things like what if while singing, I start to sneeze or what if people start throwing stuff at me or what if people laugh at me or, or , or....! Before starting something, you should have to confidence that you will go the whole way even if there are many difficulties. There will be many opportunities that will come in your way, but it is your hands to catch hold of them. You have to atleast start to become someone. Example, have you ever seen how a baby tries. Yes, we all think that babies are dumb and they don't have any knowledge about anything. But, if you carefully observe them, you will learn basic rules of life. The spirit to learn everything, to never give up, etc. So, start with the things you have just dreamt or wished of. 

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

We have many problems, don't we? Problems at work, problems at school, problems at home, problems with friends, problems with our love, etc. But, when we solve these problems, that time we get to know what life really is. Trust me on this, without problems, life will be a simple straight roller coaster which never has any bumps or goes up or down. You'll enjoy it for a while, but then soon, you'll get fed up of life being so simple and boring. Because of these ups and downs only you enjoy life. Have you ever experienced the joy of solving the simplest problem. You feel of yourself so great, and yes you are great and so is your life. You have to start enjoying life the way it is rather than cribbing about it. Take experience from each and everything which will eventually make you good at things and you'll know with experience how to do things. So, just experience life the way it is because the more worse it is now, the better it'll be tomorrow. 

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

We have this mentality, that if someone is rude to us, we will also be rude to them. But, have you ever thought what might have lead them to being rude to you or is being rude in their nature. While if you see, you can't do anything about it when it's in their nature, yes you can atleast try. But, when they are being rude to you for a reason, you have to atleast try to know that reason and solve it. Yeah, there are loads of barriers that come in your way, but crossing them makes you a better person. That person may ignore you when you try or make fun of you. But, always remember that, that person will always remember that you tried. That you tried to solve the problem by love and kindness. That you tried to build the friendship between you two. Have you ever heard that opposites attract? Well, this case seems to be matching this statement as when we bring hate and hate together they worsen, while when we bring love and hate together, they heal. So, try to solve things with love which will keep your mind peaceful and keep you happy. 

"Don't waste your time with explanation, people only hear what they want to hear."

We often complain about the shortage of time, when we are only the victims of wasting time. We are always giving explanations to people even when there is no need and then when they don't listen to us, we get into a belief that they are still mad as us. We are amazing at wasting time, trust me. We can find unlimited ways to waste time. But, just for a second think about what what you could have done in that 5 min. you wasted explaining some nonsense to someone who doesn't give a damn to you. People are stubborn and selfish. We never listen to something we don't desire or would like to hear. When you say ' I didn't see that magic trick because I was late to the party.' It is clear that you were late to the party so then why do you have to say ' ... I had to wash my hair and then my mom wanted me for some work and .....' That person is not really interested in knowing what you were doing in your life before or after the party. And don't take me in the wrong way because sometimes when your higher authority asks you for a explanation, don't go and say that I read that we shouldn't waste time on explanations. That time you will have to give an explanation to your boss, teacher, mom, dad, etc. So, use your time efficiently.  

“While we are postponing, life speeds by.”

Have you ever noticed how fast time goes when we are in a hurry, in the same way, life also fastens when we postpone things. We always postpone things, which later in life becomes the major minus point of us and then we definitely regret it. It's feels at if you have a ton of weight in your hands but no strength. But, don't you worry about that, I am sure you'll be able to handle that for once. Yeah, once, but when it gets twice and thrice, you will feel as if you are going to fall because of the weight of the work. And it is almost proved that if you have less time, the work quality won't be so good compared to when you have time. So, just make an habit to do things on the first time and always say 'I can!'

You can't be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself.

Everyone has a mind, which continuously makes us think, creating fear of nothing. Our mind makes us think and think and think and by the end we think every possible difficulty and fear which will come in our way. Even though the path is really easy, our mind will make it difficult for us even before we have started. Example, you have to present a book and you have prepared really well and are ready with the presentation. But, then you start thinking while you are waiting for your chance and all nasty thoughts like 'what if I say something wrong, what if my presentation has a error, what if everyone laughs at me, etc.' strike your mind and your nervous organ starts working and makes you nervous and eventually make you do errors in your presentation. So, never ever let your mind control you. If you let your mind control you, you can never get anywhere or be anyone. 

Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.

Sometimes the time passes too fast and sometimes it passes so slow that we count the seconds faster than the clock. Just to remind you guys that the clock is balanced and it does not do things fast or slow, it is us on which it depends. When we are excited, happy or busy doing our work, the time will go really fast. It goes fast even when you are too busy and you have less time. Example, the time of your exams or any test, the time will fly away. But, if you are bored or totally free or too sleepy in a class, time will go really slow. I always have a thought in my mind that the clock is not being fair because when we want time, is goes away and when we don't want it, it stays with us and tortures us. It sort of feels ironic to me. So, do one thing, just try enjoy what you are doing, even though it is the most boring work you have ever imagined of. No wonder if you develop interest in that and remember that time is in our hands. 

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

We are always said that ' You want to go into a good college, right? SO, start working from now or else you will end up staying somewhere you never want to say. ' I am not sure if you guys have ever been told this, but I have. This line sometimes feds me up and sometimes motivates me. 75% motivates. Its like, in this line you can see the outcome of the laziness now. We are always chilled saying that ' We have time to do it.' or ' I will do it afterwards.' Theses two lines are the worst lines of your life. These depicts that you aren't focused on your work or even your life. Okay, lets assume that you finish it afterwards on the last min. But, will the work quality be the same as the one you would have done in the starting. In the starting you have time to think and do it, but in the ending, you still have your brain with you, but not time. So, take my advice and do the best you can do out of something cause what you do now will lead you to success tomorrow. 

“The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten.”

As mentioned in the quote itself that we tend to look how long is the journey instead of how far we have reached. We don't do that in a marathon, do we? Yes we do sometimes when we are very tired, but that time we really don't have a choice to look back and go all way back to the starting. That time we have to finish it no matter what. Do you know how it feels after you finish the journey? It feels like your heaven because you have achieved something after so much hard work. Anyways, the past is gone and we should always look at the future ahead of us.
