thoughts of the day!
from the book-know your limits and then ignore them!
Start where you are!
Start with what you have, not with what you don't have. Opportunity is always where you are, never where you were. To get anywhere you must launch out for somewhere or you will get nowhere.
Hamilton Mabie said,"The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had the means, time, influence and education advantages, but what he will do with the things he has." Each of us has an ability to begin to create what we need from something that is already here.
Teddy Roosevelt said,"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
The truth is, you can't know what you can do until you try. The most important catalyst to reaching your dream is starting where you are. Edward Hail said,"I can't do everything but I still can do something; and because I can't do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do."
No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.

everyone's on a journey, the journey of their lives!
a thought came to my mind this morning before I woke up and I thought it was beautiful.
This is what it is. Everyone we meet is on a journey of his/her life, including ourselves. During this journey, we go to a lot of places and have a lot of short and long spells of time chapters.
We tend to meet certain people during the journey of our lives. During this time, they are also on the journeys of their lives and when we meet them, our paths cross. We stay together within them for a while.
For example, we were born during the journey of life our our parents. They decided to live the journey together and make it one journey. And that's why a man-woman relationship or the husband wife relationship is so important. Two human beings on the trip of their lives one day decide that now the journey will be together.
We stay with our parents during the journey of our lives. We stay with our teachers during the journey of our lives. With siblings and friends. All of them meet with us for long time chapters or short time chapters. Then either they move on their journey or we do.
I didthe MBA with so may wonderful people. They were from different places and different backgrounds. We did not know each other before the MBA time chapter. The beauty of that time chapter would depend on how we make the best use of the time that we got with whoever we meet on our journey.
In Dubai one of my roommates was Satpal, now he has moved on and so have I. Now it is Nilang, within a few months he and I will move on our journeys.
The idea is to make the best of every time and every moment available because you never know when they leave you. And sometimes, very few of those times, extend the time chap till the end of life and decide to walk the same journey. Only one person in this world will be such who will walk the journey of my life with me. That is, of all those I meet and have any sort of power of decision over. And that does not include parents and siblings.
Everyone else will come and leave. I will like some of those people but I know they will leave. And i know I will leave. Wow, I did not know this thought flow will lead me to realising the importance of that one person. Yes, marriage is the most importane decision in life for it's about sharing the journeys and making them one. It's about the one.
Having said that, we must make every attempt to make every moment beautiful because at the end of the time chap, when people leave, you never know if they will ever meet you again.
life is just too fickle to be trusted. Isn't it? The readers of this post have all the right to think I have lost it!
while on the journey, love everyone who walks your way, for once they leave, they may never come again!!never again...and if they are too precious, do not let them leave.....but if they must leave, they will leave....wata life

happy 2009!
The New Year has walked in, smiling at you….You opened the door with hopes and expectations dint you?
Like almost every year, it will have 365 days, starting now
Would you treat those days well? Smiling, caring, contributing…You need to ask how?
We are blessed for we are alive; unfortunately many don’t realize that nothing quite matters as much-colour, religion or country as much as being a human
We could be the part of thousands of those who leave every day
For some reason, we have been chosen for now, chosen to stay
We need to prove that we deserve our stay
We must strive for more; we must pay
If you make a resolve, stand by it
Mean every word you say
Love everyone who comes your way
Everyone’s on a journey, we are all tender, say whatever they may!
New Year is the time to start afresh
After all, all we need is an excuse
Enjoy every minute; be useful to yourself and others while having fun
Promise yourself never to bow to a life of mediocrity
Promise yourself, that you will be the one!
I wish you a pulsating year
Full of reverberating success, enduring love and vivacious health
I wish you never bow down to failure, for victory is just a few steps
Very close is the finishing line
Rejoice, Resolve, Renew today
I wish you my pal
Rocking 2009! Amar
