Happiness....

You say you love rain.....

Shadow....

Your shadow is closer to you than anything else.....


Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself !!

When walking through the "valley of shadows," remember, a shadow is cast by a Light ...

Smile...

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile.

Success....

Hero's Journey

"Success is a journey, not a destination." -- Ben Sweetland

"The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity." -- Ayn Rand




" Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing." -- Abraham Lincoln





Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. -Albert Shweitzer




The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.
- Albert Einstein


Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.
- Barack Obama

Rose..

Oh, my luve’s like a red, red rose,

That ’s newly sprung in June;

Oh, my luve’s like the melodie

That’s sweetly played in tune.

- Robert Burns

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose ...

Beauty..

Beauty is truth's smile

when she beholds her own face in

a perfect mirror.

- Tagore

Beauty is in the ideal of perfect harmony
which is in the universal being;
truth the perfect comprehension of the universal mind.

- Tagore

The woods are lovely, dark and deep...

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep

- Robert Frost

गहन सघन मनमोहक वन तरु मुझको आज बुलाते हैं

किन्तु किये जो वादे मैंने याद मुझे वह आते हैं

अभी कहाँ आराम बदा यह मूक निमंत्रण छलना है

अरे अभी तो मीलों मुझको,मीलों मुझको चलना है

- Translated by Harivansh Rai Bachchan

My Favourite Quotations....

Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life. - Rabindranath Tagore…

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep. - Robert Frost

The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals,

The tragedy of life lies in not having goals to reach for.

It is not a disgrace not to reach for the stars,

But it is a disgrace not to have stars to reach for.
