VALUE OF TALENT
If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap than his neighbour, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door - Ralph Waldo Emerson
THE HEART OF WRITER
Every writer worth his salt
Suffers from
a keen sense
Of failure,
because he
Knows he could
have done
Things better.
It’s the
bad writers who
Are always
pleased
With themselves.
SUBMERGE IN NATURE
There is
a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is
a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is
a society where none intrudes,
By the
deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love
not man the less, but nature more.
REASON BEHIND SUCCESS
HOW TO DEAL 'DIFFICULTY'
When a difficulty presents itself,
remove it at once if you can,
for the longer you look at it
the less you will like it.

OFFENCE
When anyone has offended me,
I try to raise my soul so
high that the offence can not reach it.

Descartes
DEFINITION OF SUCCESS IS HERE
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of
intelligent people
and the affection of
children;
to earn the appreciation of
honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to
find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit
better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed
social condition;
to know even one life has
been breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

HAVE FAITH ON YOURSELF
Let people say whatever they like,

the world will be at your feet. They say,

MASTER IN THE ART OF LIVING
The

He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving
others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him, he is always doing both.
