If only one could tell

If parents could tell from birth what exactly their little child would do for a living, then they would give it their best shot. If only every child knew what exactly would put food on their table at the end of the day, then they would not waste any time in irrelevant fields of study. But since we do not know, it is important to give in our best in everything we do. Hence, the Biblical injunction, whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for there is no thought or counsel in the grave where you will end up (paraphrased)

Did You Know...?

The richest people on earth today are people who followed their dreams. Most of them do not even have the kind of education you and I would dream of (not to water down on education, anyway; just that it's not a necessary pre-requisite for success, only a catalyst).

It all begins somewhere..

Whether it's the building of a house or the construction of a bridge;
Whether it's the birth of a child or the death of an aged;
Whether it's the realization of a dream or the killing of one
It all begins somewhere.

The journey of a thousand years, the saying goes
Begins with a step
And that, I should say, in any direction;
The most important thing in getting things done
Is to dare failure and take the first step

If it's wrong you'll quickly recoil
If it's right you'll be rewarded for it
Men are remembered by deeds and not by dreams
It's time you stopped dreaming and started doing something

You really can do it, not minding what people say;
It only matters what you think
For whether you think you can or you think you can not
YOU ARE RIGHT
