YESTERDAY I KNEW NOTHING, TODAY I KNOW THAT

I turned a year older recently, and was contemplating whatever I’ve learnt so far in my life. Come to think of it, quotes and the likes have always inspired me and my actions. This post contains a quote for each day in one month, assuming, of course, 30 days in a month. A few of them have been authored by me, most of them, however, have been taken from various sources. I’ve also tried to mention the names of the famous people who’ve authored some of the following (not me) wherever I could find out. Read on and be inspired [:P]

01. Clapping, apparently is good for the heart (a piece of trivia shared by a Prof. after a certain bad event). Henceforth, even if any event's bad, CLAP HARD! Since, all you'll be doing is enhancing your health. (Oh, by the way, that sure drew a lot of applause...so, proves it!)

02. Act in the valley so that you need not fear those who stand on the hill. (Danish Proverb)

09. The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and watch somebody else do it wrong, without commenting. (T H White)

10. There are not any (should not be any) regrets in life, only lessons. This is because, being defeated is a temporary condition...giving up is what makes it permanent.

18. Speak when you are angry, and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.

20. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. (Maya Angelou)

29. Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving, but makes no progress. (Alfred A Montopert)
