Meaningful things I have read over the years

[Philipkee]

Everyone is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, the fish will always think its an idiot - Thomas Edison

 

True, isn't it? How often do we judge a person by what he does best as compared to judging him based on what he happens to be doing?

 

We must hang together or we shall most assuredly hang separately - Benjamin Franklin

 

This statement was made during the American Revolution, Meaning if the Founding Fathers did not band together, they will be defeated by the British and all will be hanged. Thats a principle largely forgotten today.

 

Lesson: In a company, either everyone help each other or if they insist on backstabbing, the company will lose money and everyone loses. Sometimes we are so individualistic that we forget our organisation's success is our success as well.

 

Anyone has anything meaningful to share?

There are many paths to the same place. Just because someone is not following your path, doesn't mean they are on the wrong path.

American saying

Russian saying

 

Courage is not absence of fear, courage is doing something inspired of fear.

 

Opportunity is when luck & preparation collides.

 

Ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for you country..
