But these quotes have a powerful way of shaping our thoughts. It is a collection of ideas, powerful words from famous personalities that continue to inspire us.

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

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.

The simplest reason might be confidence, but the other complex reasons include social ostracisation and a sense of belonging.

Happy people focus on what they have, unhappy people focus on what’s missing

by

Happy people focus on what they have: I’m often fascinated by our lives which is usually broken down into what we have and what we aspire for. True enough, it is not always easy to find a fair balance between the two. This is nothing to do with greed or any other emotions which people look down upon. This quote analysis is just about what you want vs what you have.

We will also talk about aspects of being thankful, balancing between happiness and unhappiness. Life is not about denial of our sad feelings – that’s just a fake. Happiness is about accepting the both the good and bad we have and finding our own balance.

I don’t care Meaning and Inspiration: We meet these so-called dare devils who don’t care about the outcomes. Sometimes I question – are they actually this daring or are they careless?
