WEEK IN BRIEF: 19-24-September, 2011

Quote for the Week:

The harder you fall, the higher you bounce.-Horace

Hardships and failures are a part of life. It depends on how you react to it that you progress. Most of us end up being STUCK IN A RUT thinking about the falls we had in life that we are never able to move ahead. Just take a moment when such a situation comes in your life and look at the bright side. The more hardships and setbacks we face, the STRONGER we become. That way, we gain the ability to face even harder trials and get over those too. So keep going forward even though you get hit and you will reach greater heights.
