Thought of the day

"It has been said that to one who is good, the whole world becomes good. This is true so far as the individual is concerned. But goodness becomes dynamic only when it is practised in the face of evil. If you return good for good only, it is a bargain and carries no merit, but if you return good for evil, it becomes a redeeming force. The evil ceases before it and it goes on gathering volume and momentum like a snow-ball till it becomes irresistible." -- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

"There is no sense in trying to do anything unless you give it your maximum effort. You may not succeed but at least the dedication and effort and interest should be there." -- John F. Kennedy (JFK)

"Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard, then succeed on purpose." -- G. K. Nielson

"It's simply a matter of doing what you do best and not worrying about what the other fellow is going to do." -- John R. Amos

"Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I don't have it in the beginning." -- Mahatma Gandhi

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him -- Swami Chinmayananda.
