WEEK IN BRIEF 8 - 13 November, 2010

Quote for the Week

"A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds." - Sir Francis Bacon

A person with a goal in mind does not wait for something to happen; he makes it happen. If one has a fixed purpose or destination in mind, the path leading to it becomes clearer. His conviction makes him think little of the effort he has to put in. Of course, fate sometimes does play a decisive role in our endeavours, but you cannot always blame karma.

Opportunities come and go, but strength of mind lies in the will and ability of a person to turn any situation – good or bad – to his/her advantage.
