I don’t believe in taking right decisions – Ratan Tata

Vinay Nagaraju — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 18:34:19 +0000

I don't believe in taking right decisions: A fabulous inspirational quote by Ratan Tata talks about decisions in life and how we sometimes can get hung up in the notion of perfection. No decision will ever be perfect, we will always have something or the other to lose. The main point to remember in decision-making is the affordable loss. And most times, we don't consider time lost in making decisions.

Don’t Read Success Stories, you will only get a message -Abdul Kalam

Vinay Nagaraju — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 13:18:38 +0000

Don't read success stories: This is one of my favourite quotes from Abdul Kalam. It talks about the value of these failure stories that gives us so much more than inspiration. I don’t deny the value of inspiration. In fact, I’m one of the biggest fans of anything that inspires us. However, this quote talks about the value and inspiration in failure stories too. The success stories tell us that something is possible. It makes us dream, feel inspired and find the motivation to do something about these dreams or thoughts.

The failure stories are about caution, being realistic and recognising that some of the success stories may not be as realistic as they sound. The success stories we hear tend to ignore some of the hardships people have gone through. These stories create an impression that success might be easy. The failure stories however are more valuable because they show where we can go wrong and what we can do about it. We don’t need to repeat the same mistakes as others. We can learn from these mistakes and learn to become better and protect ourselves from some failures.

Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it

Vinay Nagaraju — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 13:07:58 +0000

A beautiful quote by William Penn to define and defend doing the right thing. This is often the most challenging and sad thing that the good people don't always have the courage to do the right thing. The simplest reason might be confidence, but the other complex reasons include social ostracisation and a sense of belonging.

A powerful quote by Dr Seuss talking about maintaining our individuality. It is often one of the most overly quoted words to talk about individuality and freedom of spirit. However, as we grow up, it is the first thing to be quashed in a world that expects us to fit into a mould. How do we maintain this individuality as we adjust to the world around us?

Until The Lion Learns How To Write, Every Story Will Glorify The Hunter

Vinay Nagaraju — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 19:26:20 +0000

Until the lion learns how to write: History is always written by the winner. Whether it is the hunter or the winner of wars - the story that sells the most is the one by the winner. If you think of this logically, the winner will always hold sway in telling the story. If the winner is powerful enough, then the stories that are written by the loser will be destroyed. In other words - the winner's words hold more value than the victim's. Or atleast that used to be the case before the world of social media.

If your dreams don’t scare you they’re too small – Richard Branson

Vinay Nagaraju — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 20:27:50 +0000

If your dreams don't scare you: Our dreams define the size of our desire, ability to get inspired and push forward to create a route to achieve them. Small aim is a crime because it is not inspiring enough to make it happen. As Eleanor Roosevelt says, the future belongs to the people who dream. Richard Branson talks about the dreams that scare us. Dreams are supposed to be scary - if they are too easy, they don't qualify to be inspiring enough. Today's QOTD is Richard Branson's words on dreams - if your dreams don't scare you, they are too small.

Where Your Fear is There is your Task – Carl Jung

Vinay Nagaraju — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 20:22:09 +0000

Where your fear is there is your task: Fear is powerful. It can either debilitate us completely and sometimes even paralyse us. But the beauty of fear is that even though it's got that capability, it can vanish into the thin air. Even more beautiful is the point that you and I can do this by refocusing our energies and listening, leaning into what this fear is telling us.
