When something goes right..
.. Point outside the window.
When something goes wrong, look at the mirror :)
When things get heated up..
.. it is time to cool down. Yes it does seem pretty obvious when put that way, but many a times, we tend to inflame it further in the heat of the situation. Just like fire spreads. :)
So when things start getting hot, cool down. Consciously. Because a fire does not stop itself.
If you like something..
.. be sure to enjoy it to the fullest. If you don’t like something, change it! Or change yourself. But NEVER complain.
It takes a great level of sophistication..
.. to be in control and yet not show power.
Meet new people..
.. get new perspectives. You will learn to appreciate the fact that everything is relative. Nothing is absolute. :)
You truly understand something..
.. when you can explain its essence to someone who has no clue what it is.
EINSTEIN was asked by his hostess at a social gathering to explain his theory of relativity. Said the great mathematician,
“Madam, I was once walking in the country on a hot day with a blind friend, and said that I would like a drink of milk.”
“Milk?” said my friend, “Drink I know; but what is milk?”
“A white liquid,” I replied.
“Liquid I know; but what is white?”
“The colour of a swan’s feathers.”
“Feathers I know; what is a swan?”
“A bird with a crooked neck.”
“Neck I know; but what is this crooked?”
“Thereupon I lost patience. I seized his arm and straightened it. “That’s straight,” I said; and then I bent it at the elbow. “That’s crooked.”
“Ah!” said the blind man, “Now I know what you mean by milk!”
When you do something right..
COPY the damn thing when you do it again! Technology exists to make life simpler. Use it!
The easiest way to break the ice..
.. is to ask for help. The best way probably is to offer help.
