'The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision'
-Helen Keller

We're tricked by society into believing that we should change instead of being encouraged to accept who we are.Accept yourself for who you are..nobody is perfect...it is your imperfections and flaws that make you who you are..embrace them..you are unique in your own way..there's no substitute for you...be yourself..love yourself..be proud of yourself..no matter what anyone says.

Sometimes we do a certain thing not because we want to do it but because it is the right thing to do.

'I think there should be laughs in everything..sometimes it's a slammed door,a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.'
-Alan Rickman

Sport is the best form of reality tv.There are no scripts here...the joy of winning and the agony of losing is real.At the end of a match or a race or a competition you see such contrasting emotions...one one side..the winner is congratulated and flanked by one and all,while one the other side is the defeated...hanging his head in disappointment and dejection..sometimes he is all alone..while at times his family and team-mates are there trying to console him...but defeat is never the end of the road.Sport just like life is such a great leveler...one day you could be on top of the world...the best in your game and the very next day you could look like an amateur.Sport is beautiful and one of the best gifts life can give us..it teaches us so many valuable lessons like integrity,dedication,the ability to bounce back and team-work to name a few..but the most important lesson sport teaches us is that..one should never give up and keep fighting till the very end..you never know when the tide might turn in your favour.Play sport to learn...but most importantly to experience...sure you want to win and you should try your best to do that..but winning is not the only thing..there's much more to it than that...see this as an opportunity to know and discover yourself..to know people..to know places..to know life.Sport doesn't just bring people together...it brings nations together.It bridges the most widest of gaps.

Fairytales are true not because they tell us that dragons exist...but because they tell us that dragons can be defeated.

Earn to live but don't live to earn.We came empty-handed and we shall go empty-handed...the only thing you will take to your grave will be your deeds.As long as you are here,try and do some good and don't just focus purely on material gains.

Hope is the greatest source of oxygen...breathe from it as much as you can.

A prayer is not just the most powerful weapon...it also the most powerful medicine...believe in it's power.

The time between your first breath and last breath is what counts ..so make it count...do the things which you make you happy..try new things..challenge yourself every once in a while..don't limit yourself to a particular arena..push your boundaries..explore new things..don't let fear hold you back..meet new people..try and contribute to society,to your country and to the planet..don't just exist..live life..make sure that when you are on your death-bed,you can look back at your life with a sense of pride,satisfaction and achievement.

'In this world of shipwreck,there is hope in uncertainty.'
-Lola versus

Don't be afraid to fall
Don't be afraid to make a mistake
'Coz every time you fall
Everytime you make a mistake
You become wiser
Stronger
And much more learned

Don't be so ******* yourself
Learn to forgive...learn to let go
Everyone trips and falls
So,don't be so ******* yourself
-Jess Glynne

Why do we fall?
So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.-Batman begins

Every obstacle or hurdle that you face in life..also presents you with an opportunity of overcoming it...don't take a step back when faced with a problem..fight and find a way of countering it.

When you are being constantly provoked and criticised wrongly ...it's easy to lose your temper and just burst out..but trying to keep your cool and not reacting(no matter how hard it may be)is always the smarter thing to do...don't give importance to haters and jerks,by reacting to what they say...just focus on yourself and your work and keep doing your thing.Shut out people who have nothing but negative things to say to you.

'Isn't that what we do in this world?....try to salvage the wreckage of our disappointments,losses and broken hearts,cherish our moments of magic and glory,forging ahead and charting a new course.'

-Megan Kearns

'A mind is like a parachute..it serves no purpose unless and until you open it.'

-Frank Zappa

Isn't that what people do when they get dumped?...obsess over their exes,retracing the steps of their relationship,trying to decipher the clues that led to the relationship's unraveling.They pine for them.It takes time for them to recover from this jolt and move on.They strategize ways to accidentally run into their exes..or avoid them like the plague.
Either way there's a lot of strategizing involved.

-Megan Kearns

Experience counts for nothing if you don't use it...don't just keep it stacked up like an old book in a bookshelf..learn from it and apply it.

It is sometimes during your darkest moments that you discover your inner strength...a strength which you never knew existed in you...a sense of courage which was hidden deep inside of you...and it is this courage and strength which helps you make it through those trying times.Each and everyone of us have within ourselves this amazing fighting spirit...we just need to find it and unleash it at the right time.Never underestimate yourself...you can be strong if you want to.

There are some questions in life which don't have any answers....apparently for everything else there's google!

'Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it's like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt that you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.'

-The Notebook

It is basic human nature...the more you get,the more you want...nothing is ever enough...we are almost never satisfied with what we've got.No matter how much we might deny it...truth is we all have this insatiable thirst for more of everything...some a little more than others...some express it openly while some are secretive about it.

When the heart and the mind are having a dispute,don't be quick to jump the gun and lean on one side...give both of them a fair hearing and then come to a decision.

To forgive is not easy
But to forgive and forget is a billion times more difficult
The former is still achievable
But to achieve the latter..
....you truly need to have an exceptionally generous heart
And an incredible mind

Don't let a damaged past define your present and ultimately determine your future...fight and change the scenario...'coz what you were isn't as important as what you are and what you will be.

'You can stand tall without standing on someone,you can be a victor without having victims.'

-Harriett Woods

A woman shouldn't be with a man just because she needs to...rather she should be with a man because she wants to...and the same goes for men as well.

A heartbreak or a betrayal hurts you..sometimes even shatters you..but most importantly it teaches you.

When it comes to mistakes,there are 4 types of people...
First are the ones who aren't afraid to make a mistake...they take risks and have the guts to try

Second are the ones who are too weak to even try 'coz they are afraid to make a mistake

Third are the ones who make mistakes and learn from those mistakes

And fourth are the ones who never learn and keep repeating their mistakes

Use both your heart and your mind..don't be partial towards either of them.Let your heart decide what you want to do and let your mind devise the plan as to how you will do it.

We as a society are so very judgemental.We are so quick to jump the gun and pass a judgement on someone without even attempting to dig deep and find the actual facts.Things are not always what they are presented as.There's an actual story behind the story.Jumping to a conclusion and actually arriving at a conclusion are two completely different things...while the former displays a lack of patience and total disregard for the brain,the latter shows intent to analyse and investigate and actual and proper usage of the grey matter.It's pretty unfortunate that the society we live in is generally plagued by the former.

I sometimes wonder-"who gave us the right to judge someone?"...certainly not GOD.What are we?...the moral police?...the epitome of ideal human beings?..before you judge someone and criticize someone...always remember...we all have ***** skeletons concealed in our closet which we would'nt want anyone to know about.So just be a bit more considerate and compassionate...the person who's going through a tough time doesn't need your rough words...neither does he need your help...but a few warm and encouraging words would go a long way in telling him as to exactly what kind of a person you are.

Silence is golden
But not when you're in love
If you love someone express it to that person
If you're having some issues with your lover,speak to him or her and try and resolve it
Keeping your feelings of love for someone
Or your issues with your lover
Suppressed within you
Won't do you any good
It will only give you a sense of regret
So express yourself
Even if your proposal of love is rejected
Or your issues with your lover don't get resolved
Then so be it
At least you will be clear to yourself
You will have the mental satisfaction that you tried

'Sometimes even a muse needs a muse.'

You will learn much more from observation and experience than you ever will from books.Books will help you get through school and college but observation and experience will help you get through life.

If you think that you know everything about yourself
And there's nothing new left to be discovered or explored
Then think again
For life is a constant process of self-discovery
You keep digging within yourself
You keep exploring the deep recesses of your mind
You will keep unearthing new things
Things you perhaps never even imagined about yourself
Truth is...
...You will truly never know yourself inside out even uptil your dying day
But it is your duty to keep searching within your mind and soul
And try new things
Otherwise how else will you know What you want?
What you desire?
What you are capable of?
Of all the subjects you have studied or will study
Studying yourself is the most important thing to do
For unless and until you study yourself
You have studied nothing

Life is full of surprises
Some good ones
Some bad
And no matter how much you plan and strategize
Always expect the unexpected
Don't relax when things are going good
And don't lose hope when things are going bad
Both situations can turn around pretty quickly

If you're addicted to something
Or love doing something
Then you'll find a way of doing it
Even if you haven't done that thing for a considerable amount of time
Sure it'll take a wee bit of time to get back into the groove
But once you get your confidence back
You'll be doing terrific

Sometimes some of the best decisions are taken without much thinking and planning...they are much more instinctive in nature.

Don't just think and plan about the things you want to do in life..actually do them.You never know how long you'll live..so don't waste your time thinking..start acting on fulfilling your dreams and desires...don't keep delaying them.

A bad case of love destroys you in ways much worse than hate ever does
For hate merely hurts you
You can still bear it and accept it
But a bad experience in love severely damages your heart's ability to love again
And most importantly it becomes that much harder for you to trust someone after that shattering experience

No one on the planet can motivate you quite like yourself...the reason is pretty simple...there's simply no substitute for you.

It's pointless trying to hold on to someone whose heart is no longer inclined towards you..you have to let go of that person and all the memories associated with him,no matter how hard and painful it might be.Sometimes it hurts to do the right thing but you still have to do it.

It's amazing as to the effect self-belief and confidence can have upon you
For if you have these two
Even the most daunting of tasks can be accomplished
And the greatest challenge lies in having these two attributes when things are going bad
For that is the real test...
...When no one gives you a chance
Give yourself a chance by believing in yourself and being confident in your abilities

Having a good plan is one thing...executing it well is another thing and when it comes to executing your plan..it's not just about your skill but also your belief and confidence which matters.
