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. 

“When you judge others, you do not define them; you define yourself.”

It's like a habit and trust me, a really bad one. The habit I am talking about is the one we usually develop as we grow older, as we get our perspectives and as we start thinking about people. It is the habit of judging people. We usually have lots of judgements on lots of things which is sometimes fine because we are judging things. But, when we start judging people, we are expressing what is not perfect from our side which is not bad. But, it gets worse when it starts insulting people. That time, you are not defining them, you are defining yourself. It puts an impression in that person's mind that you are inferior and black-hearted which is definitely a bad sign because no matter when or how, you will have to stay with that person someday or somehow. So, have perspectives, but never ever start judging people cause every person on this planet has a story and don't judge them before you know the truth cause it may surprise you. . The day you will judge them, they will judge you. 

“Excuses are born out of fear. Eliminate your fear and there will be no excuses.”

When we have a task to do, we either do it at first or we don't do it based on some of our personal reasons. The reasons may be, it is difficult, if I get it wrong, what if someone does it better than me, what if I don't win, what if.....  Every reason here has a fear behind it which pulls us back. We can also think of I will win, I will be the best, I will try my best, I will...... These reasons have a confidence and positiveness behind them which encourages us to do our best. So whenever you get a task to do, never ever think of excuses not to do it, do it first and then see the result and improve upon it. Fear is generated by our minds which often thinks too much. Control your mind, eliminate your fear and success will run after you. Fear is temprorary, regrets last forever. 

“A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.”

When you set a goal, you get a thing to aim at which increases your confidence, focus and improves you. But, when you can't reach that goal, never ever become demotivated. A goal is just a guide for you which keeps reminding you to achieve something and if you can't achieve that goal, you have certainly achieved some fraction of it. I'll give you a tip, keep your goals according to this :- 

Specific	Measurable	Achievable	Realistic	Time bound
Goals should be simplistically written and clearly define what you are going to do. Include if necessary the What, Why and How.	Goals should be measurable so that you have tangible evidence that you have accomplished the goal.	Goals should be achievable; they should stretch you slightly so you feel challenged, but defined well enough so that you can achieve them. You must possess the appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to achieve the goal.	Goals should measure outcomes, not activities.	Goals should be linked to a timeframe.

“Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, which is why we call it the present.”

The quote tells it all! We often forget how blessed we are to have what we have. We don't even realise that every day we live is creating a history and if we don't try to take a peek of every other coming day, we will forget how to live. So, just keep living life as it is a mystery and never forget that you are the most confident, successful and cheerful person on earth and because of you there is joy all around.
