Hi guys,
We happen to chance upon some great quotations/articles/speeches by great and wise minds everyday whether in real life or on internet. I thought we could help create a collated thread which will be a great place to visit whenever you need a boost in inspiration.
An unofficial rule : If you are pasting links,do not just paste web links. Write a little bit about why you are posting it.
Some of my favourites :
(i) Success is having everything you need and doing everything you want. It is not doing everything u need to have everything u want.
(ii) Numerous psychological studies have confirmed that satisfaction is an inside game. While it feels nice to be rewarded, the glow of the dopamine rush is short lived and doesn't produce lasting change in mood or behavior. After the thrill of winning, for example, lottery winners and Nobel laureates revert to their previous temperaments. A look at accomplished individuals who regularly win awards and medals shows that they are driven by the effort rather than the result. It is the striving rather than the reward that is long-lived. Furthermore, the knowledge of one's capability is continually satisfying throughout one's life.
(iii) If you wish to know yourself, you have to drop all ideas about yourself
