“Ideas hover around us
unknown or unnoticed.
An alert mind can catch
them and tap them to
the best advantage”
The human mind is like
a parachute; it works
only when it is open
To generate new ideas
 One must feel the pressure of the workload to
the extent of a problem.
 There must be strong belief that there will be
a solution to any problem, ie; a more simple
alternative.
 An open mind to search for alternative
solutions to any problem.
 Selection of the best alternative and proper
implementation of the same.
Criteria to assess a successful
person
 Does he have proper mental peace and
happiness?
 Is he physically fit, considering his age?

world is he who is

comfort”
 “Money has only a
one fourth role in a
successful man’s life”

optimist”
“An optimist will find an
opportunity in every
difficulty and a
pessimist will see a
difficulty in every
opportunity”
“Work hard, making use
of available facilities
and win over difficult
situations. This is the
right path to success”

thinking”
“In order to have faith
in others, first of all,
you must have faith in
yourself”
“We must have the
patience to motivate
people to bring out

It is always better to get
the opinion of others on
whether there is an
alternative method,
better than the one
suggested.
A man is literally what he thinks;
his character being the complete
sum of all his thoughts.
 Actions blossom from thoughts;
joy and suffering are fruits.
 Human mind is like a garden
which can be intelligently
developed or allowed to run wild,
if no useful seeds are planted, a
lot of useless weeds will grow.
 A man can rise,
conquer and achieve
things only by lifting
up his thoughts

 If you lose your
confidence, you legs
start shivering, and
then the fall is certain.
Life is a mix of
sorrows and
happiness
Positive attitude in crisis
situations and presence
of mind during major
setbacks will help
people to come out in
flying colours ultimately.
Money can buy anything
that brings material
comfort to our lives, but
happiness is derived
from something else.
Peace and happiness
are not things that
you can directly
purchase from the
market.
“To have sound sleep,
your pillow must be
filled with flowers of
peace and
happiness”
 The possession of more
wealth alone is not a
criterion for happiness and
enthusiasm in our lives; no
doubt, that is derived from
something else.
In order to have peace
of mind in our lives,
we must be prepared
to accept failures.
The inner power in
each individual is
tremendous; but we
are unaware of this.
If we are firm in our
decisions, we can
overcome any type of
hurdles in life.
 Success is reserved for
brave and straightforward
people; muscle power ,
money power or luck plays
only a minor role in this
process.
Nobody can make you
inferior without your
consent.
 For our failures and
incompetence we can
find any number of
excuses
We are the creators of
our own destiny.
Forget what you have
lost so that you can
achieve what still
remains.
 Don’t carry your
mistakes (and others
too) in your heart for
too long.
There is no point in
crying over spilt milk.
 We must always be
inquisitive; this is the
only way we can
improve ourselves.
The admission of our
ignorance is the first
step to progress.
Inquisitiveness and
perseverance are the
two major factors
behind every
achievement
 It is education and
experience, combined
with an attitudinal
change, that makes
people more humble and
noble.
One’s personality is
reflected in one’s
words and deeds.
“Empty vessels make
the most noise”
“The ultimate measure of a
man is not where he
stands in moments of
comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at
times of challenge and
controversy”
 The crucial decisions
taken by a person
during crisis situations
determine his growth or
decline in life.
Successful people find
happiness in striving for
new goals rather than in
being content with the
fruits of attained
objectives.
Don’t worry about the
future; just perform
today’s duties and
forget about
tomorrow.
 A journey of a
thousand miles
begins with a ‘Single
Step’
Hiding from realities
leads to disaster
Failures are stepping
stones to success;
learn and accept
many lessons from
failures.
Have a burning desire
to realize your goals;
success will be yours.
If we have a persistent
attitude towards
solving a problem, a
solution will emerge
from somewhere.
If we have the urge for
perfection, hardwork
and a burning desire,
we can work wonders
in this world.
It is good to be slow
and steady but it is
always better to be
fast and reliable.
 Unless you have
enough self
confidence, it is
difficult to succeed in
life
 Necessity is the
mother of invention
Unless we feel the
pinch, we will not be
alert.
Failing to plan is
planning to fail.
A short pen is better
than a long memory.
 Happy and united
families can bring up
successful
personalities and vice
versa.
 Doing things at a
reckless, Hurried
pace, will not take
you to the goal easily.
Only an original work
will stand out in a
world of look alikes.
Motivating words are
the fuel which will
impel any individual
to achieve higher
goals.
 A bright future is
reserved for
progressive thinkers,
dreamers, and doers.
 Ensuring long term
success is like
running a marathon,
not a 100 metres dash
or sprint.
There is always light at
the end of the tunnel
