Jealousy is another name for failure

You don’t need to have a 100-person company to develop and execute a good idea.

Gearing up to make mistakes is the preferred route to take, rather than look for the escape button.

Never fear to ask a question even if it is basic.This only helps the person improve his/her idea and concept about the subject.

Something which looks too far off to achieve, intangible and too high to attain, can be reached through perseverance, dogged effort, hard work and single minded devotion. Nothing is impossible. Even God is just a true penance away.

No blessing is greater than peace. No joy is greater when contentment. No disease is worse than greed. No religion is greater than mercy.

Do not be too simple and too straight. Go to the jungle to see how the smooth and straight trees have been cut down mercilessly but the crooked ones stand unharmed.

All progress is born of inquiry. Doubt is often better than over-confidence, for it leads to inquiry, and inquiry leads to invention.

Without great solitude no serious work is possible.

If you do not gossip about your problem, that means you are not really interested in it.

Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Take risks. Ask big questions. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; if you don't make mistakes, you're not reaching far enough.

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

"But the majority of things that one could get stressed about, they’re not worth getting stressed about."
