undeterred focus and enormous practice. Always remember, never compare yourself with anyone. Your only aim should be to become better than what you were yesterday. That’s it.”
patience, persistence, and faith can overcome anything in this world."
I think even if we take a small step at the right moment, women's molestation can drop drastically. I see people who just laugh off when they come across such a situation. Or simply ignore it. But if your classmate laughs with you or teases you or talks to you frankly, does that mean she is a toy to play with or hand over to anyone? By all means, she deserves your respect, your support, your humanness. Actually, I believe we must be compassionate and respectful towards everyone. Men, women, or animals – shouldn’t really matter. But many a time I sadly notice people forgetting that they are

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The real great loss is what dies in us while we continue to live.”
When we love someone, no matter how many times they disappoint us, we
still concentrate on their one positive thing, make hundred assumptions that they are good, and we keep loving them. Similarly, when we don’t want someone in our life, no matter how good they are, our mind concentrates only on one fault of them, comes up with hundreds of assumptions that they aren’t good for us, and we leave them. That is the secret! To achieve our goal, we have to believe we can, we have to visualize, and then our mind shows us hundreds of ways to do it, despite the huge number of obstacles on the way.
‘Despite working hard, despite having will and focus, sometimes on the road to destiny, your bad luck will screw you. Lift yourself back up to fight again. It isn’t easy. And that is why so few make it – Anonymous.’
'What you get by achieving your goal isn’t as important as what you become while achieving your goal.'"
Failure is an ingredient of a huge achievement. A failure acts as a vaccine against another failure. Failure brings humbleness. It shapes our character, makes us fearless, and provides us with the courage to take risks."
why your story didn't end happily? The fact is-- Best stories of the world don't have a happy ending. What makes them best is an ordinary man in it who surpassed devastations, and still smiled-- refusing to give up, and ready to run with wounded legs!"
"Ability of a person is not validated by how good he has planned. It’s validated by how he stands and faces the challenges of life, when everything he planned, has gone wrong!"—Anonymous.
"Do not read success stories, you will only get a message. Read failure stories, you will be aware of difficulties, avoid mistakes, and have some ideas to get success." – Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam.
“At some point, you have to love yourself enough to let the last chance be the last chance. You can’t keep holding on to what used to be. Praying a person’s potential somehow develops into what you thought it would. You can love a person with everything in you. But, if the timing isn’t right, it just won’t work. You can’t force it, and you do not have to.” -- Sr. Rob Hill.
Yes, I know you loved them with your whole heart and soul. But how can you think they will marry you as a part of sympathy!? She is beautiful, so many other guys too might be having feelings for her. So is it possible for her to marry all of you?
her. Loving someone wholeheartedly is a must-have experience in life. And success or failure in love has nothing to do with possession.
"The time could be right. Your heart could be gold. You could be intelligent, genuine, humorous, even good looking. And even after all that, they would not love you back. It doesn’t mean they are a bad person. It also doesn’t mean they look for money or body. Generating feelings for someone is beyond our will. Beyond our control. Love guarantees fulfillment. It doesn’t guarantee to have it back. And we have no option but to accept the fact!"
Through your life, you may come across different kinds of lovers (not a flirt). Some guys, who fall at your first look will constantly try to come in your radar. Some of your lovers will just wait and wait thinking that if they tell you, then they would probably lose the friendship too. You can even find a rare case wherein a guy might not be able to understand whether he loves you or just finds you attractive. But, you might sense the truth much before himself. Just like the character Aditi said! Girls mature earlier than boys. For some time, I too have found myself being a subset of the
