Happiness
Thought Thought (Day 101: 09-Oct-2013)

is in how we perceive things. |
Meaning: Don’t neglect what you
have while counting what you don’t. Try to identify the good and pleasant among
many unpleasant things. You should relish what you have and let go of what does
not come to you. That is the path to happiness.

Today is Yours
Thought Thought (Day 100: 08-Oct-2013)
 |
Seize it. Don't contemplate about the future too much. |
That is a very powerful thought for the 100th day. And taken from an even powerful poem. One of my favorites too.
You could Google it on your own, but here is a small note on the source of this quote:
Carpe diem are the words that begin the last line of a Latin poem by Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65 BC – 8 BC). The phrase is popularly translated as "seize the day" and has become an aphorism.
Original usage from Odes 1.11, in Latin and English:
| Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi | Don't ask (it's forbidden to know) what end |
| finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios | the gods have to me or you, Leuconoe. Don't play with Babylonian |
| temptaris numeros. ut melius, quidquid erit, pati. | numerology either. How much better it is to endure whatever will be! |
| seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam, | Whether Jupiter has allotted to sink you many more winters or this final one |
| quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare: | which even now wears out the Tyrrhenian sea on the rocks placed opposite |
| Tyrrhenum sapias, vina liques et spatio brevi | — be wise, be truthful, strain the wine, and scale back your long hopes |
| spem longam reseces. dum loquimur, fugerit invida | to a short period. While we speak, envious time will have {already} fled: |
| aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero. | seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the next (day)[/future]. |

Simple; The Best
Thought Thought (Day 93: 01-Oct-2013)
 |
Simplify things and give out the best. |
Kalki was voted the favorite student in his batch. He was the first student to be recruited by a top paying corporate giant. The mathematics and
science department in his university literally had a fan page in FB for him. Friends
who knew him outside college were proud to be his fan page follower. He was envied too because situations were always favorable to him.
Kalki was a very talented, intelligent, good natured fellow who led a
very simple life style. For someone who did not know him, he was the laziest bum
they ever knew. Sometimes he would spend all his alone time sleeping, even at
times in the college library. He never wanted to exert too much. Other than the
times when Kalki was not found lazing, he always had someone taking his opinion.
Sometimes, it was even his lecturers or professors. He believed that there was
always a simple solution to anything and everything; even if it was rocket
science. This attitude attracted lot of people towards him. Whenever someone got stuck with their studies or project or even in their personal life,
they knew who to talk to.
His solution to their concerns or his own was way too simple but highly
logical. It worked almost all the time. He inspired and encouraged. They learnt
from his that all problems can be solved in 2 ways. We either complicate it and
come up with a difficult solution or think simple and solve it easily. Humans
usually have a tendency to see difficult situations with fear and hatred. This
in turn would perplex the condition further leading to strain in relationships,
job execution, or anything else. Kalki, on the other hand faced every situation
with confidence and maturity. This acted like a magnet and attracted people. He
knew that worrying or being scared will not provide resolution. He kept his
mind steady and came up with simple, logical solutions. This helped him give his
best to the world and the world gave back its best to him.
