WEEK IN BRIEF: 14-19 March, 2011

Quote for the Week:

“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And Today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.” - Babatunde Olatunji

Brooding over our past or worrying about our future will not help us in any way. We will only be stuck in a rut if we do that. There’s no point in trying to change our past or apprehending about our future, both of which are not under our control. Let TIME take its course and progress in full swing. All we have to do is be thankful for the present moments that we have NOW with us. Make this day YOUR DAY by living every moment of it to the fullest, as if there is no tomorrow.

WEEK IN BRIEF 6 - 11 December, 2010

Quote for the Week

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” – Buddha

There is no need to debate over whether anger is good or bad; it’s quite simple actually. It’s confusing, definitely unpleasant and eventually leaves us feeling quite awkward.

But doesn’t everyone get angry? Yes, but it is up to the individual to tell apart the good anger from the bad anger. There’s no need to suppress it, just try to stay calm and put your thoughts forward calmly and clearly.

Like someone once said, anger is one letter short of danger. So be careful...

Quote for the Week

"Failure is success if we learn from it." - Malcolm Forbes

No one likes failure. It mars your self esteem, bruises your confidence and crushes your ego; it just makes you feel BAD. But then, does failure have anything to do with success?

If you analyze where you have gone wrong, the next time you will refrain from making the same mistake and will do better; then, as they say, failure will indeed become your stepping stone to success. You must also take time once in a while to take stock of your successes. That way your letdowns won’t seem so significant anymore.
