For everything..

that you have missed, you have gained something else..

And for everything you gain, you lose something else..

It's about your outlook towards life, you can either regret or rejoice..

Don't take

good health for granted..

Be happy..be healthy :)

Always try to..

respond to situations..Don't react to them..

Think with a calm mind and do what is best..

It doesn't matter..

where you are coming from..

What matters is where you are going..

Take 10 minute breaks..

After 40 minutes of work..

I used to follow this regularly when I was in school, and it's high time I get back to this routine..
Working at a stretch, I have realized, does not work for me...I naturally end up making mistakes..

Slow and steady..remember..40 minutes work..10 minutes break :)

It is fascinating..

how people can view situations in so many different ways..
So many different perspectives to the same situation and experience..
Fascinating and at times irritating.. :)

Sometimes it is best to..

Let things go..

If you keep judging people, you will have no time to love them - Mother Teresa

The world would be..

such a great place if we all lay down to sleep after lunch everyday..and throw away our worries for a while..:D

One step at a time..

Take one step at a time..just one step..you might not know where it leads you..you might not know what is expected after that..just take the step..Eventually the entire picture will become clear to you..

You don't have to see the whole staircase to take the first step..

Optimism..

Get up every morning with happy thoughts and look forward to the wonderful day ahead of you..Always think in terms of can..what can I do to make it better..I can do it..

When you want something with all your heart, the entire world conspires to make it happen :)

Dont sweep it under the carpet..

When there is a problem, speak out..

Sitting on it will only make it worse..and it's sure to explode some other time :)

Some people are born..

to become singers, some are born to become dancers, some are shakespears, some are lawyers, some are mothers..

Pick that one thing you have an aptitude for and be the best at it :)

Make it work..

Identify the problem and communicate..

There is no point in childish argument. You could easily get into a blame game which leads to nothing but disagreement and ill feelings. If there is negativity, identify the problem and look to resolve it..

And things will work :)

In the moment..

When the world seems mad..when everything goes bad..when people seem wierd..when you are tired..

Smile..it's just a passing moment :)

Know when to..

listen and know when to talk..

And do both actively..

People do us a great favour by correcting us. Not only do they help us become better people, they also care enough to do so..

Always remember to thank people for any kind of feedback :)

Listen to the child in you..

Was just remembering a book I read called "All I really wanted to know, I learned in kindergarten"..

Play fair, clean up your own mess, say you are sorry when you hurt somebody, when you go out into the world hold hands, look.. 

And it's so true that we learn all the basic and most important lessons of life when we are young. Yet those are the very things we have to be re-taught at every step in life..

Dont expect..

Rule number 1:

Life is not always fair..

Rule number 2:

That is how it's meant to be..

Have a plan..

Know what you are doing now and what you plan to do 5 years from now..

And start working towards your goal from this moment!

Ego clashes..

are never worth it..

Don't let your ego get so close to your position that if you lose your position, your ego goes with it..

Think!

Don't ask for help immediately..think of the best solution.

If it works, you would have just bought yourself 10 minutes of joy! :)

Always meet deadlines..

It's your reputation at stake afterall!!

It's not always easy..and in most cases it's not meant to be..

Learn to say no..

Saying 'no' is an art!!

Learning to say it politely..in a way that people understand..and in a way to be on good terms after that is a real challenge..

Never say yes when you want to say no..

Think with your head..

and not your heart. 

there are exceptions of course..

There was a time..

when a fool and his money were soon parted..

But now, it happens to everybody :)

Don't procrastinate...

Do it now!

Get up and get moving!!
