on the road he takes to avoid it.
Your mind is like this water,
my friend.When it is agitated,
it becomes difficult to see.
But if you allow it to settle...
...the answer becomes clear.
Quit, don't quit.
Noodles, don't noodles.
You are too concerned
with what was and what will be.
There's a saying:

Of parallel lines: who were never meant to meet.
Of tangent lines: who were together once for short moment but then parted forever, And
Of asymptotes: who could only get closer and closer, but could...never be together!

Remember that we are all doing the best we can at the time. - Diane Paul
I know that I need to forgive someone, not for their benefit, but for my own peace of mind. Don’t do it for them, do it for you! - Cathryn Kent

The emotions people bring to work are as important as their cognitive skills, and especially so for leaders.
Because it's not possible to check our emotions at the door when we get to work — even when that's expected — it pays to be aware of what we're feeling in any given moment.

Observe the environment and the people around you. How they reach to things that you do. 2. Network with people who don't look, think, act or dress like you. Talking with opposites inevitably sparks new ideas, new insights and ultimately corrects a course, individual or societal.3. Experiment with the world by personally trying out new things, taking stuff apart or doing things differently Matka/HTMLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07326437678139019311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808379135045668901.post-17502076385239372852012-02-26T13:19:00.001+05:302012-02-26T13:19:23.772+05:30Thought of the dayमैं क्या जिया?

At a company I frequently visit, there is a woman who works at the
entrance and hands out the tickets for valet parking. She's worked at
her job for years. When I pulled up a couple of days ago, it was
freezing outside, and she was all bundled up. Even so, when I got out of
the car she greeted me effusively, as she always does. She called me "Sweetheart," she gave me a huge smile, and her Matka/HTMLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07326437678139019311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808379135045668901.post-47856172733852927442011-11-09T20:29:00.000+05:302011-12-26T13:31:55.111+05:30Thought of the dayThis one comes from "How i met your mother"

I saw following possible sources for meaning:
in work (doing something significant)
in love (caring for another person)
in courage (doing what was right even in difficult times)
in acceptance (learning to move ahead with experiences from my mistakes and failures)

Do we care about you?

I'm not a big fan of Chetan Bhagat but his speech published here really made it's point http://www.chetanbhagat.com/speeches/spark/ It has bits and pieces copied from other such stories but all credits go to him for combining everything in one; do read it whenever you get time.
