Tradeoff
We have to accept life as it comes. Like the seasons, it can be rainy at times, while other days are cold or scorching hot. Some struggle to accept this reality, falling into madness or depression. In short, life is no utopia. Instead of crying over not having oranges, we must learn to make lemonade …
Click
What makes you click? That one thing so important to you that it becomes part of your daily habit or ritual—something you dedicate every moment to without hesitation? The masterpieces of Van Gogh’s paintings, Michelangelo’s Madonna of Bruges, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Edison’s Lightbulb, and the Wright brothers’ quest for flight—all emerged from the click of their internal drive.

Our life is about living moment by moment and giving our best. Complaining is not the solution. Otherwise, we would be reading a complaint book, not an autobiography. You …

We live in a free world. We are not in any shackles. The decisions we make are ours, and so are the repercussions. We are beaming with confidence in youth. We believe in changing the world. Our determination and arrogance have a thin line and many fall for this trap. With time the treadmill of …
