Your life
Life is a grindstone. But whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.
---Thomas Holdcraft
What do you want in your life?
A good life or a bad life.
A heaven or a hell.
Everything is depending upon you.
Your life is under your control.
You’re the maker of your life.
You’re the master of your life.
Your life treads you back the way you treated it.
Never allow your life to rule by anybody.
Live a life of independent.
A naturally occurring gold never shines,
It needs constant polishing.
Like your life needs your constant polishing.
Both success and failure are depends on you.

Your knocks
One who knocks always gets. One who is asleep misses.
To get anything in your life,
You’ve to knock at the right door.
Success never greets you by itself,
You’ve to knock at its door again and again.
You’ve to create something special for yourself.
Nobody comes at your doorstep to give you anything.
You’ve to set your target. You’ve to set your journey by yourself.
You’ve to move ahead even you’re alone.
If you’re fallen asleep, then you’ve to awake yourself.
You’ve to clean your eyes. You’ve to wash your face.
Stand on your feet and start your journey.
But never knocks at the wrong door,
It will not only spoil your life, but also ruin your world.
One right knock shows you thousands of success doors.
And one wrong knock leads you towards the doors of failures.

Your wishes
Wishes without work behind them are as impotent as a steamer without a propeller.
---B.C. Forbes
There is nobody in this world who doesn’t wish.
Everybody wishes for something. Wishes are natural.
But, is it possible that you get whatever you wish in your life?
Yes, you can get whatever you wish in your life.
But, wait. Before you get the glimpses of your wishes, you’ve to gone through countless numbers of hurdles.
You’ve to give up many things.
You’ve to sacrifice many things.
Are you ready for that?
You’ve to work for it.
You’ve to give your hundred percent efforts on it. Even you’ve to see many failures.
If your answers are big ‘Yes’,
Then, nobody can stop you to get your wishes.

Your success
Success comes to those who dare and act.
Everyone wants success in his life.
There is nobody in this world who doesn’t want success in his life.
But there are only few people who dare and desires to act.
There are thousands of people who only want and desires.
They are merely day dreamers.
They want success in easy way.
They start running behind the success.
But they stop in the middle of the crossroad.
They don’t know that only running behind the success doesn’t give them any success.
They have to work harder and harder. They have to give many sacrifices.
They don’t know that success only deserves to braves.
Success doesn’t deserve to cowards.
Success always demands tough challenges.
And only the braves can accept those tough challenges.

Your patience
Patience is the necessary ingredient of genius.
A small seed doesn’t grow into a big tree within a few days.
It needs many days, many weeks, many months and many years.
It grows constantly, without any stoppage.

Then one day it develops into a big tree, laden with leaves, flowers and fruits.
Like in your life, you can’t achieve anything within a few days.
You’ve to work and wait with patience.

If the best things are not coming to you, then what?
Live your life with better things.
Who knows there is the best thing hidden in your better things?
Many people faced many hardships in their lives, because they are always waiting for the best things in their lives.
But they failed to judge that there is happiness and prosperities in their better things.

Your work
A man is not tired when he does the work he loves.
---Rosepal
Without work your life is meaningless. Without work your world is colorless.
Nobody can live without work. Without work you will become dull and gloomy.
Every living creature works for survival. You can see a small ant working every day.
To get success in your work, you’ve to love your work with heart and soul.

Think about your work. See your work. Live with your work. And do your work with passion. Then you will see, your work will always smile with success.
You’re born to work. Make your life meaningful with your good works.

You’re not known by your name, but you’re known by your work.
You’ll become great with your great works.

Your fortune
Fortune favors the bold.
---Virgil
Nobody could predict about you that you’re fortunate or not.
Never wait for any fortune. But try to become a brave. And accept what is reality.
Be brave to accept the challenges of life.
Good fortune is hidden in big challenges.
In which form your good fortune is disguised, you don’t know.
If a sleeping lion thought that his prey will enter itself into his open mouth, then it’s his foolishness. He has to get up and starts hunting.
One who waits for good fortune to favor him, he is one of the most foolish persons in this world.
To get good fortune in your life, you have to work hard continuously and tirelessly, accepting every ups and downs of life.
If you’re dreaming for good fortune to come to you and beating your hands in the air, you can’t get anything, but you’ll hurt yourself.
One who is really fortunate in his life is one who works hard day and night when his companions are sleeping and day dreaming.

A great actor is born with small roles, but not with big roles.
There are many people who only waited for big deeds. They planned and waited. And they started rejecting small deeds while hoping big deeds in their favors.
But they have forgotten that only small deeds lead them to bigger deeds.
In a single day you can’t complete your entire works. You have to do your work every day. Then one day you will finish your entire works.
You can’t travel the whole journey in one day. You have to travel every day. Then one day you will cover your whole journey.

Whatever you do or act anything; your thoughts always guide you.
If your thoughts are great, every work and act that you do will become great.
You become the way you thought about yourself. Care about your thoughts like you care about your body, because your thoughts mend you and spoil you. Care your thoughts like a mother care her infant baby.
If your thoughts are great, you too become great. If your thoughts are cheap, you too become small. You never run away from your thoughts, because your thoughts always follow you wherever you go.
Your every thought reflects on you, both internal and external outlooks.
If you’ve negative thoughts, your every looks charged with negative forces. If you’ve positive thoughts, your every looks charged with positive forces.
Your thoughts develop your personality. Watch your thoughts every day.
Good thoughts are like the flowering plants, one day you will get its sweet fragrance. Bad thoughts are like the unwanted weeds, one day it will spoil your life.

Time is like a wave that never waits for anybody.
If you want to live a successful life, you’ve to go in time. You’ve to value your time. Sleep in time. Wake up in time. Work in time. Live in time.
