QUOTES ON HUMILITY

1.       “A great man is always willing to be little” – Ralph Waldo Emerson 2.       “True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less” – C.S. Lewis 3.       “It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err” – Mahatma Ghandi 4.       “On the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom” – Michel de Montaigne 5.       “As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.   A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you” – C.S.

Keep Moving!

"The bicycle theory states that, the moment you stop to pedal, then you begin to fall”, says a preacher. Have you achieved some successes in life and you assume you’ve arrived?

Why can’t you begin to desire greater heights? Look around. You would realize that the people with common and average achievements are in the majority. Someone aptly captured it this way: “It’s never crowded along the extra miles.” It’s common knowledge that the majority of people (with commo...

Winners Win, Losers Lose!

Lou Hotz once said, “You were not born a winner and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself to be.” What are you making yourself to be? A loser or a winner? Why is it that you are always pessimistic about everything around you? Why is it that you always see impossibilities in everything? The truth is this: God has planted the seed of possibilities in everyone. Every one of us has been endowed with the capacity to make things happen. The onus is now on us to be optimistic and learn to see possibilities all around us. Believe it, if you think you can, you can and if you think you can’t, you can’t!

The fact that the next person to you does something and he fails does not necessarily mean you would also fail. After all, you are different from him. Change your mindset and begin to see possibilities all around you. The fact that you fail while making an attempt does not ...
