“Know your Limitations and be Content with them. Too much Ambition results in Promotion to a job you can’t do!” - Anonymous

Advices (Mostly from) ‘You Can Win’

Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.

Don’t trust a man/woman who doesn’t close his/her eyes when you kiss.

Evolve yourself: Knowledge- English- Languages.

Machinery- Computers.

Ladies Jobs. (?)

Have Broader Thinking.

Empathy (feel another’s feelings)- Impersonation.

Explain Yourself.

Talk to the Point- Be Aware our your Talk.

Fight Judiciously.

Be dependable, predictable, reliable and committed.

Don’t exaggerate your favors to others in your mind.

We are drowning in information but starving for wisdom. Education ought to teach us not only how to make a living but also how to live.

My question is when was the last time you sharpened your axe? Past glory and education don’t do it. We have to continuously sharpen the axe.

Knowledge is mere information, it is just potential power. It becomes power only when it is acted upon.

Our minds, like muscles, stretch or shrink depending on how much or how little we exercise them.

Positive thinkers are like athletes who, through practice, build an inner reservoir of stamina that they draw on in competition. If they don’t practice, they have nothing to draw on.

Positive people recognize their limitations but focus on their strengths. Losers, recognize their strengths but focus on their limitations.

If you want to build positive self-esteem quickly, one of the fastest ways is to do something for others who cannot repay you in cash or kind.

Remember, a person’s character is not only judged by the company he keeps but also by the company he avoids.

Winners have dreams, losers have schemes. (should’n have been contrary?)

Obstacles in my way of success (Procrastination, Lack of Commitment, Lack of Persistence, Lack of Priorities, Lack of energy/vitality/ hard work). Ability without hard work, patience, dependability, responsibility and flexibility is a liability.

Great talent without will power and hard work is a waste.

Idle time amounts to wasting/stealing time; leisure time is earned.

Hard work is both a beginning and an end in itself. The harder a person works, the better he feels; and the better he feels, the harder he works.

Don’t say, “I’d give up my life to do…”. Give it. [Guitarist example].

It took Noah Webster 36 years to compile Webster’s Dictionary.

How many doors can you knock to get your first sale. Ten, twenty, hundred…? But for the successful, this number cannot finite.

A stone is a hindrance or stepping stone, depends on your perspective.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.

When I got tired and wanted to stop, I’d wonder what my opponent was doing. When I visualized him still working, I’d start pushing myself. When I see him in the shower, I pushed myself harder( Dan Gable, Olympic Gold Medallist in Wrestling.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves .

If people knew how hard I had to work to gain mastery, it wouldn’t seem wonderful at all.

An average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put more than 50% of their capacity and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.

Everything that we enjoy is a result of someone’s hard work. Some work is visible and other goes unseen, but both are equally important.

Know that courtesy and good manners take many small sacrifices.

Substance is far more important that form.

Under adverse circumstances, some people break down, while others break records.

When we give more than what we get paid for, we eliminate our competition. We become the competition.

Half hearted effort doesn’t produce half results; it produces bad results.

Most people forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well it was done.

It is better to do less in a better way than doing more in an inferior way.

The best teachers will not give you something to drink, they will make you thirsty.

Understand the difference between risk taking and acting irresponsibly (=acting without training or preparation).

Take risk but don’t gamble.

Only that who risks is free.

The total secret of success lies in two words persistence and resistance. Persist in what must be done and resist in what must not be done.

A man is hero not because he is braver than anyone else but because he braver for ten minutes longer.

Be content without lacking ambition.

There are three kinds of people: those who wonder what happen, those who watch things happen and those who make things happen. Who you want to be?

We are either progressing or retrogressing/evolving or devolving (orig: creating or disintegrating). There is no status quo.

Our friends are not the kind of people we want rather the kind of people we are.

Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare for the win.

It is easy to be average but tough to be the best. No wonder the average people take the easy way.

Do you have the patience to withstand the gestation period.

Some excuses given by losers: See I’ve a poor memory; I’m not smart enough; I’m not good at Math; I’m not an athlete; I’m tired/weak; I’m past the point of getting success.

Results count more than the reasons.

A good advice for failures is: Don’t think, don’t ask and don’t listen. Just rationalize.

Our lives are not long enough to learn only from our own mistakes, Make a habit of learning from other’s mistakes too.

The saddest part of the most people’s lives is that they die with music still in them. They rusted out rather than worn out.

I would rather wear out than rust out.

Someone asked an elderly person, “What is life’s heaviest burden?” The elderly person replied sadly, “To have nothing to carry.”.

Keep liberty different from indiscipline. Some so-called liberal thinkers have interpreted lack of discipline as freedom.

Steam won’t move the engine unless it is confined. Niagara Falls wouldn’t generate power unless it was harnessed.

Children brought up with excessive freedom and a lack of discipline grow up not respecting themselves, their parents or society, and have a hard time accepting responsibility.

Success is a matter of luck, ask any failure.

Some people consider a rabbit’s foot lucky; but it wasn’t lucky for the rabbit, was it?

Inspiration changes thinking; motivation changes action.

Negative motivation brings the desire to take the easier way which ends up being the tougher way.

An indicative list of people with poor self-esteem: They are bored and uncomfortable when alone; They make promises they know they are not going to keep (a person with high self esteem would prefer loss of business than loss of credibility because he realizes that one cannot put a price on one’s credibility); They spend money they haven’t earned, they buy things they don’t need, they try to impress people they don’t like; People with low self esteem go along to get along; They have self indulgence rather than self discipline.

Humility comes from confidence whereas putting yourself down comes from the lack of it.

In order for our children to turn out well, we need to spend twice the time and half the money.

It is less painful to learn in youth than be ignorant as an adult.

To make a child delinquent: Provide instant gratification for all his sensual desires such as food, drink, comfort (thinking deprivation can cause frustration). Don’t stop him doing what he wants because you believe discipline takes away freedom.

Compare yourself against your capabilities.

It is permitted to be fooled than be a fool.

Freedom is not procured by full enjoyment of what is desired but controlling the desire.

If I ever saw that a friend had had one drink too many, I would put my foot down and not let him drive. I would rather lose the friendship than lose a friend.

Let teachers teach our child that it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tell him they are wrong.

Treat people with respect on your way up because you will be meeting them on your way down.

Ego gives a swollen head while pride gives a swollen heart.

Responsibility gravitates to the person who can shoulder it.

When you accept additional responsibility, you are actually giving yourself a promotion.

A person who doesn’t accept responsibility is not absolved from being responsible.

Talent without tact may not always be desirable.

Communicate. Talk less say more.

Who likes to be around a grouch? None, except a bigger grouch.

An open ear is the only believable sign of an open heart.

Listen to feelings not just the words.

Enthusiasm is a habit that one can acquire and practice.

Discuss, explain, but don’t argue. Even if you are right, is it worth arguing? No! Because often the argument is coming from a closed mind trying to prove who is right rather than what is right? If you say something you are pretty sure about and the other person doesn’t agree and is argumentative, even if you can prove him wrong, is it worth it? How long would you keep making your point once again?

It is not worthwhile to reason with a prejudiced mind; it wasn’t reasoned into him so you can’t reason it out.

A narrow mind with a big mouth usually leads to interesting but pointless arguments.

Don’t exaggerate. It is like an addiction. It becomes a habit. Some people can’t tell the truth without exaggerating it.

Sincerity is no measure of good judgement. Someone could be sincere, yet wrong.

Confidence without humility is arrogance.

It is never too late for a good job because we don’t know how late is too late.

No one is too big or too busy to practice courtesy.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and wrong. Because at times in our lives, we would have been all of these ourselves.

Make a habit of showing courage in the face of adversity; showing self-restraint in the face of temptation; choosing happiness in the face of pain/hurt; showing character in the face of despair; seeing opportunity in the face of obstacles.

When we permit ourselves to cheat once, may be in a small way, it is easier to do that second and then third time until it becomes a habit.

Good habits are hard to come by but easy to live with. Bad habits come easy but are hard to live with.

Remember fear is learned behavior and can be unlearned.

In doesn’t matter where we are. What really matters is in what direction are we heading.

Just because you’re doing something doesn’t mean you’re getting somewhere. See the caterpillars.

Gandhi: The worst scenario is: pleasure without conscience, wealth without work, knowledge without character.

If you are going to do some thing but are in doubt about its values, ask yourself if your children/your mummy would see this would they/she approve it or disapprove it and the clouds will clear sooner than later.

No possible gain can make up for the loss of your values.

The process of making a choice between two commitments would involve priority, responsibility and duty.

Other Memoralia

Letter By Amitabh Bachchan to a newspaper

From: http://blogs.bigadda.com/ab/2008/04/20/response-to-outlook-1/

You come from Allahabad, the city where I was born and brought up and where seven generations of my family were born and brought up. You are a poet as was my father. Without doubt you may have heard of him and perhaps read some of his works.

You have got this entire episode quite horribly wrong! My family and I are innocent bystanders in this entire episode. I am reminded today of my father’s famous lines:

Main chupana jaanataa toh jag mujhe sadhu samajhta,

Shatru mera ban gaya hai chhalrahit vyvahar mera -

If I knew how to hide things, the world would have considered me a saint,

My greatest enemy, sadly therefore, has been my unblemished countenance.

Your literary eminence would undoubtedly assist you in ascertaining the deeper meaning of my father’s words. However the deliberate abuse of your intellectual mind by the media leaves me and my family with an even deeper wound.

I write this to you in absolute confidence. I would wish that you keep this communication private.

Respectfully and with warm regards,

Amitabh Bachchan

ਉਂਗਲ ਉਂਗਲ ਵੇਰਵਾ, ਪੋਟਾ-ਪੋਟਾ (finger phalanges) ਵਿੱਥ।
मतलब चाहे उँगलियाँ पास पास दिखती हैं, और आप उंगलियों पर डीटेल दे रहे हैं, लेकिन फिर भी उनकी दूरी, और डीटेल में कमी ज़्यादा है, जैसे की उंगलियों के फ्लांगस जितनी दूरी।

Did you know these:

  • ਉਹੀ ਬੁੜ੍ਹੀ ਖੋਤੀ, ਉਹੀ ਰਾਮ ਦਿਆਲ।

  • ਉਹ ਫਿਰੇ ਨੱਥ ਘੜਾਉਣ ਨੂੰ-
    ਉਹ ਫਿਰੇ ਨੱਕ ਵਢਾਉਣ ਨੂੰ।

  • ਉਹ ਨਾਰ ਸੁਲੱਖਣੀ,
    ਜੋ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਜਾਏ ਲੱਛਮੀ।

  • ਵੇਖੀ ਚਲ ਮਰਦਾਨੇ ਰੰਗ ਕਰਤਾਰ ਦੇ
    ਆਪੇ ਮਰ ਜਾੰਦੇ ਜੋ ਦੂਜਿਆ ਨੁੰ ਮਾਰਦੇ

  • ਰੰਡੀ ਦਾ ਜਮਾਈ, ਕਦੀ ਨ ਬਣੀ ਭਾਈ॥

  • ਜਿਥੇ ਦੇਖੀ ਤਵਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਂਤ, ਗੁਜ਼ਾਰ ਦਿਯੋ ਉਥੇ ਸਾਰੀ ਰਾਤ।

  • ਫਸਲੀ ਬਟੇਰ

  • ਲੱਡੂ ਮੁੱਕ ਗਏ, ਯਾਰਾਨੇ ਟੁੱਟ ਗਏ।

बीजेपी ने मनप्रीत बादल को पार्टी में शामिल करवा के यह कहावत यथार्थ कर दी है:

“ਚਿੱਟੇ ਨੀਲੇ ਦਾ ਝਗੜਾ ਫ਼ਜ਼ੂਲ, ਅੰਨੀ ਕਾਣੀ (ਸਾਨੁ) ਸਭ ਕਬੂਲ !”

सबको मालूम है की मानप्रीत बादल ने पंजाब बीज भंडार, गिद्दारबाह्य वालों का और बठिंडा वासियों का क्या हाल किया है। मैं खुद उसका भुगत भोगी हूँ।

(रसोई में) ईसबगोल, (बस तू) कुछ मत फोल/बोल।

सारी उम्र गालिब, मैं यही खता करता रहा,
धूल चेहरे पर थी, गर आईना साफ करता रहा।

From Movie ‘Nothing But the Truth’

  • Some mistakes are like, wearing white after labour day,
    But invading Russia in Winter is entirely a diff thing.

  • A solution that comes in the form of a loss of integrity, is no solution at all.

  • Government doesn’t care where a celebrity had dined last night.

  • It does make a diff whether you’re standing for yourself, or, is it some principle you’re standing for.

  • Howsoever a man may lead a good life, give charity. But in the end, it will be his family who’ll come to his rescue. (in the movie, wording was much long and different. To go near that wording: A man can lead a good honourable life, but in the end the number of people who come to his funeral, generally depends on the weather on that day).
