Random Streaks XXVI

A country is not poor because it is filled with poverty and does not have any money. It becomes poor when many of its citizens shed their self-respect and take to begging and compromises. A country is only as poor as its citizen's self-respect, honesty, compassion and good beliefs.

Today, in this mad rush world, people are competing with each other over the outcome of a competition but not over its means and preparation. People are competing for promotions to the next level in all walks of life, but not competing with each in their work and effort that makes them deserve the promotion in the first place.
-----
Philosophy can only be your means for accepting failures and disappointments in life, but never your excuse for not trying at all.
-----
What (car) you drive may show the richness in your destiny. But what drives you shows the path to that destiny. Go after the real thing!
-----
Time and money are two complementing, yet opposing, things in your life. You cannot earn one just because you have the other with you.
-----
Strength is what you use to empower yourself, Power is what you mis(use) to overpower others.
-----
A Project Manager, passionate about his work, should not just be an 'expert' to his team, but also an experience for them. Expertise always comes out of experience, but never the other way around.
-----
One song you have heard and still remember, one that keeps ringing in your head no matter even if you are deaf, one song that put you to sleep, and the one that gives you the memories that blows your mind inside out, one that keeps you searching for the lost soul not wanting to accept the loss, one song that still links you to the only person who made you in this world...Mother's lullaby. There is no musician who has ever created a music note more sweeter than a lullaby to a child. If you keep your mom in your heart, it is like being inside her womb, because you are already inside her heart forever.
-----
People who see the faults in others are those who subconsciously believe they are imperfect too. People who have learnt to look past their own imperfections are those who can see the real beauty in others.
-----
Problems in life are like waves in an ocean. When they appear in front of us, they seem huge, waiting to drown us. But then when you actually start riding on them, you are not intimidated by it and you handle it. And when they pass, they are nowhere to be seen and you wonder why it was so intimidating at first.
-----
I will never fall down, is ego. 
No one can ever push me down, is pride. 
I will be the last one to fall down, is over-confidence. 
I will always get back up, is confidence. 
I will land on God's hands when I fall, is faith and obedience. 
You choose.
-----
When you reach a state of enlightenment that takes you beyond worldly pleasures, even the whole world makes you feel claustrophobic.
-----
The cleverest and shrewdest thing about Fate is that it let's you think that you control it, all your life.
-----
The light does not bring happiness. The darkness does not bring gloom. It is what you are up to that decides your thought. A student will find light to be his friend, while darkness is friend to a thief.
-----
Life and death are two constants in this universe. All disharmony and imbalance occur when those who have to live end up dying, and those who have to die end up living.
-----
There may be a million stars twinkling in the sky at night. But the one sun that shines in the day is what gives life to earth, even if you cannot directly look into it. It does not matter who is far away and looks beautiful, but what really matters is the one close to you, and who cares and gives you life. It could be a friend, an elder, a guru, a lover, a companion, anybody.
-----
Life's unpredictability is the constant thing I enjoy. When a wave drowns me, the next wave takes me up. So I wait for that.
