Inspirational Quote #1:

All courses of action are risky, so prudence, is not in avoiding danger (it’s impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.

Inspirational Quote #2:

life is what happens while we are making other plans.

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

- Confucius

    JJUUKO, Kushal,

    Thanks!

    This is an awakening quote:
    “life is what happens while we are making other plans.”
    It seems like I’m a planning-man not a life-man
    Thanks Kaled !!

      153 days ago

      Oh hello Sir :)

      Same here! In fact, I spend a huge amount of my day thinking, planning, dreaming, and life is “happening” in the meanwhile. There is a magic and a joy in playing around with ideas and dreams, planning new projects that never see the light. Maybe this is why I included this quote here, it was like shouting “heeey buddy, wake up”!

      But all of them moved something inside me. I want to remember them very well while I’m planning 2012, so I can take bold actions and start the year strong.


  5. MUKESH SHARMA
    153 days ago

    Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. In my view this is really good one.

    MUKESH SHARMA


    • Khalid
      153 days ago

      Mukesh,

      I’m gonna tell you a little secret ;)

      This quote has inspired me to come up with a life mission/purpose. I’m not sure if this is the complete quote by Lao Tzu or someone else: “Knowing others is intelligence, Knowing yourself is wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.”

      This one will guide most (if not all) of my goals and activities in the future.

    Dowan Patrick,

    Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

    - Mark Twain

    The above quote motivates me to work right away.


    • Khalid
      153 days ago

      Hey Dowan,

      Print it and post it somewhere in your office! Every time you are in doubt or hesitation, just read it loudly.


  7. najwa
    153 days ago

    i liked no 7 the most because communication, self control, understanding characters and just being more aware of my surrounding… is what i am trying to work out in this phase of my life .


    • Khalid
      153 days ago

      Then we have something in common :)
      This one is shaping my life mission/purpose now. I believe it is a pure wisdom. It’s the oneself that is really challenging.

    • Khalid
      153 days ago

      Quote #6 is for everyone who got sick and tired of judgmental people. The moment I decided to stop looking for other people’s approval was a transformation and true inner peace!


  12. sheela
    153 days ago

    No. 2 and No. 7 have so much to say. Great!


    • Khalid
      153 days ago

      #2 is like a wake-up call! Life is “happening” this moment. We spend a lot of time replaying of things that happened in the past, worrying and planning the future, and ignoring the beautiful moment of NOW.

      It’s all in our heads! We want to live fully right now.


  13. Imamul Majid
    153 days ago

    Quote 7 is the best. If I can master others and master myself I get the Strength and Power.


  14. Linda

    Inspirational Quote #6:

    Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

    - Dr. Seuss

    This is because I have experienced it and it taught me to do what I had to do without fear. My boss is the kind who leaves you to do your thing and only report to him for approval or guidance. I used to seek counsel from colleagues who would discourage me not to go to the boss with new ideas. When I decided to try it once the boss was so pleased and from then on I never fear to ask him or present new ideas. This has put me at loggerheads with some of my colleagues.

    But I learnt that those who mind, my colleagues dont matter in my career and goals while those who matter, my boss don’t mind what or how I do it as long as I deliver.


  63. eunice
    130 days ago

    Quote 1 and 5 is the best for me. As human we try to avoid taking risks couze we do not want to make mistakes and regret later but if the cause of action is for our own good why not give it a try.

    Tomorrow’s best depends on today’s decision. My future depends on today’s decision making. I make the best decision today and I will not regret in 20 years time.


  64. vedvert
