We all know that the life in real world is inherently risky. Those who are not willing to take the risks always settle for the ordinary, and the life also rewards them with what they settle for - the ordinary. On the other hand, those who take the risks, and jump off the cliffs, find that they build their wings on the way down. Life rewards these risk-takers and cliff-jumpers with Success that is beyond any measures - the extraordinary. That's why, in my view, the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one having best ideas or better abilities, but the courage one demonstrates by taking a risk to take a risk and win. History remembers these risk-takers and their extraordinary accomplishments, and forgets the squeamish non-achievers. Never be afraid to take the risks, and diving into unknown oceans. After all, pearls don't lie on the seashore, and you must dive for it into deep ocean if you want one. Go on, take a leap into uncertainty, and you'll see your wings opening on your way down. You may see a net appearing too, but you must take that leap first. Never settle for anything less. You won't regret, because only those who take risks win in this world. All the best!

Scars are not something one should feel embarrassed about, and something one should try to hide. In my view, scars are really beautiful, because they show what you've been through, and how you've come out successfully through that challenging phase of your life. Your scars represent your courage, determination, endurance, and strength. And that's why they are so beautiful.

Schrodinger's Cat is a classic example of Paradox, in my view. In actuality, it was a Gedankenexperiment or a Thought Experiment, created by Austrian Physicist Erwin Schrodinger in 1935. Not many folks are probably aware that Schrodinger himself called that experiment “a ridiculous case.” Here’s the "Schrodinger's Cat" in Schrodinger's own words: “A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): In a Geiger Counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small, that perhaps in the course of the hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none. If it (i.e. decay) happens, the Geiger Counter discharges and through a relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of Hydrogen Cyanide. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has (undergone) radioactive decay.” So you see, the cat's life or death truly depends on the formation of a subatomic alpha particle that triggers off the avalanche of electrons in the Geiger Counter. There is an equal probability that it may not happen, and hence the cat should remain both alive and dead per Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Philosophically speaking, Human Life is full of paradoxes, and we often find that the uncertainties therein bear a startling resemblance with Schrodinger's Cat experiment. The total randomness of events that shape our human lives, and determinedly control the outcome (i.e. future) can be extremely perplexing and equally thought-provoking as Schrodinger's Cat experiment....a pre-written and pre-destined Reductio ad absurdum perhaps!

Self-respect is the most important aspect of human life, and the cornerstone of all virtues. It is also the starting point of cultivating the beauty in women and the courage in men. Never lose your Self-respect, and never allow anyone to violate its sacredness for any price.

Siempre prestar mucha atención a cómo una persona habla acerca de otras personas a usted, porque eso es exactamente lo que él / ella va a hablar acerca de usted a otras personas. Es axiomático que quien cotillea a usted siempre chismes acerca de usted. mantenerse alejado de chismosos!

Siempre se puede diferenciar restaurantes baratos de restaurantes de clase alta al ver los menús que ofrecen. Restaurantes de clase barata y baja siempre hablan de "usted", como "todo lo que puedas comer", "su elección", etc de alta clase y restaurantes caros, por otro lado, siempre ofrecen sus propios términos, tales como "la elección del chef", "comida gourmet", etc, cuando usted es el mejor y corte por encima del resto, que no es necesario para atraer de incitar y el lenguaje seductor para atraer. Su calidad por excelencia y un alto nivel harán lo que trabajo muy bien. Esforzarse por ser extraordinaria, y el mundo te seguirá.

St. Andrews, Scotland, is one pf the most beautiful and scenic places that I have lived in. It's an amazing experience of my life. The University of St. Andrews is the oldest and most prestigeous University in Scotland, now more than 600 years old. I am proud of my past association with St. Andrews, and The University of St. Andrews....the best memories of my education in the United Kingdom.

The life of Christopher Columbus offers numerous notable traits of Effective Leadership, which are applicable even today. The seven traits that I consider to be absolutely remarkable are: (1) Always challenge the status quo. (2) Think outside-the-box. (3) Create a vision with plan and timeline to execute. (4) Be prepared to cross the comfort zone, and enter any unknown territories fearlessly. (5) Be tough minded with strong determination to win. (6) Be adaptable, resilient and persistent when faced with challenges. (7) Be the best positive influencer and an inspiring role model to followers. In my view, the most important learning for Leaders from the life of Columbus is: If you really wish to explore new oceans, you mustn't be afraid to lose sight of the shore.

There is a subtle difference between an acqaintance, a faie-weather friend, and a tru friend. An acquaintance is around you merely to enjoy your company, a fair-weather friend flatters when all is well, but a true friend has your best interests at heart and the strong guts to tell you what you must hear, whether you like it or not. If you're lucky and smart, you will recognize and appreciate your true friend, and will be able to keep safe distance from fair-weather friends and acquaintances.

Those who love you, and care for you, will always hear your silence several miles away. Love doesn't need any words to communicate. Love also epitomizes enormous power to connect two individuals, no matter the distance or time that separates them.

Those who worry about the glass being "half-full or half-empty" often miss out on two important points: (a) the glass is always re-fillable, and (b) there's always a full pitcher around to refill the empty and half-filled glasses, over and over again. In my view, Life offers you millions of opportunities in a pitcher, besides what you already have in your hands. So be smart, grab that full pitcher, continue to refill the glass whenever necessary, and enjoy the party.
