    QUOTABLE QUOTES I ENJOYED


    Avoid traffic jam in the minds affecting peace and tranquility

    The mind is like the tongue,It drifts towards the negative areas of our life. It schemes to uproot the problems of our life.

    It is not the happy people who are grateful but the grateful people who are happy.

    Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow but robs today of its joy.

    A couple moved into an apartment adjoining an independent house. One day the wife told her husband” look at our neighbour-she is hanging dirty clothes”.Next day when she saw through the window she exclaimed-“ our neighbour should have heard my comments.Look how clean the clothes are”.The husband quietly replied –“I cleaned our windows and that is why the clothes are looking clean and better.” Look at yourself before you comment on others.

    Sword and words have the same alphabets and can cause equal damage if not handled properly.

    Mutual funds and relationships have one thing in common. We must invest in both before we can withdraw.

    In order to practice forgiveness separate the incident from the person. Blame the cause and not individuals.

    One fellow **** in the field,turned back and said” disgusting.cant believe something obnoxious and nasty could come from me”. The **** gained voice and replied “ yesterday evening I was a delicious Samosa-look at what a few hours of association with you has brought me to this stage” A person is judged by the company he keeps.

    Watch your thoughts-thoughts are expressed in words- Words turn into actions -actions form into habits- habits fashion your character- character decides your destiny. The moral- train your thoughts.

    Jealousy vs envy. Jealousy is when you compare and want to be like him or excel.Envy –competitive go to any extent to spoil his progress.

    Compete with yourself-understand your potential,your capacity and certainly your limitations.

    Don’t bite but certainly hiss if you are offended.

    Ice cream and candle .Enjoy the icecream before it melts. Candle also melts to provide light to others

    Where are you in the ice cream candle spectrum?

    A set of good collection of quotes. I was reminded of few tamil adages:
    காற்றுள்ள போதே தூற்றிக்கொள்
    ஐயர் வரும் வரை அம்மாவாசை காத்திருக்குமா
    அலை வரும் போதே
    மூழ்கிக்கொள்


    Few men kick the hand that fed them and lick the foot that kicks them. A quote from RD read in 1961-62.
