Imagination vs knowledge

"Imagination is more important than knowledge"

- Copied from the GTalk status of Chandan Mishra

If you have knowledge, then you can do things which others can also do if they have the same knowledge. However, if you have imagination, then you can do something which others might not even think about. So the outcome of imagination is unique where as the outcome of knowledge is not.

Our Attitude Defines Life

Our Attitude Defines Life

Life is Best for those who want to Live it,

Life is Difficult for those who want to Analyze it,

Life is worst for those who want to Criticize it,

Our Attitude Defines Life...

Enjoy Your Life,

Laugh so Hard That even Sorrow Smiles at You,

Live Life so Well That even Death Loves to see you Alive,

Fight so Hard That even Fate accepts its Defeat...

- From the email of my sister.

I fall into the first two category, i.e. I live and analyze the life. I love to enjoy every moment of life and analyze it to prepare for getting best out of the life. I just hate criticize and felling bad about life. This is what I think about my life.

Try and fail but don't give-up

"Try and fail, but don't fail to try."

- Copied from the GTalk status of Rajesh

I think this hold quite true for me. Even if I know that I will fail, I love to try and then understand whether this is not for me or I need more practice. But if I don't try, I don't know the clear reason why I may fail.

For example, in one of my recent course, I know before the examination that I will fail because I was not well prepared for the exam. Still I wrote the exam and the result was more then what I was expecting! That was wonderful and I learn a lot in the exam which helps me in getting the excellent grade in the advance course of the same topic.

At the end, I would say that we must give a try before give-up.

Confidence

Friendship

"Friendship is not about whom you have known the longest or who came first or who cares the best. It's all about who came and never left!"

From one email.

Giving for Free

"Giving things away for free often proves unsustainable."

Friend without END

A friend is a person who never thinks of last three letters of the word "FRIEND".

My sister has posted this quotation as a comment on one of the blog post. I thought to put this as a separate post.

Look for excellence rather then the result

"When we try to achieve things like success or recognition, they elude us. Paradoxically, when we let go off these objectives and work from a place of passion and purpose, looking for excellence rather than the result of it, everything arrives on its own, including fulfillment." - Ryan Lobo

About this quotation:

Taken from a TED Talk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NJhq163t78

Feeling Good

Energy comes from feeling good, not from eating well or sleeping a lot.

I don't remember that from where I got it. But this has left a strong impression on my mind.
