Change your thinking. Adapt. Change your life. Henry Ford was right. If you only do what you have always done, you will only get what you have always got.
In choosing a road to take in life, don’t take the easier path. Choose the one that takes you to your goals.
Don’t do what’s convenient. Do what’s necessary. In making a choice about which road to take, don’t take the nicer, easier road. Instead, choose the road that will take you towards your goal.
No matter how powerful you are, when someone says lower your head, you better do that.
To do something special, you need to be willing to take a risk
a ship is safest when it’s in the harbour. But then, that’s not where ships are meant to be.
Forget the destination. Enjoy the ride.
Finding tigers is not always in our control. Finding happiness usually is.
Life is not so much about the destination as it is about the journey. It’s the journey that makes life worth living. Simple things and little joys. That’s what life is all about. Enjoy the journey. Savour the company of friends. And the sunrise. And that hot cup of tea. And nature. The tiger can wait.
Having No Option Is the Best Option
They say the only ball that matters in cricket is the next one.
Life is like riding a bicycle. If you want to keep your balance, you need to keep moving.
Focus on quantity. Do more. Get your hands dirty. Make mistakes. Don’t obsess about perfection. It’s okay to fail. Get started. Get busy.
Give credit, take ownership.
You haven’t really become a winner until you have failed.
