Words of Wisdom (Part-1) Thoughts which made me believe that Life is Beautiful

Photo-  My Pocket Diaries

I had a very simple habit of jotting down thoughts or ideas in my pocket diaries. It was a wonderful exercise which I practiced when I was in college and during my initial years at Job. This was done to ensure that I don’t miss a wonderful thought or idea. I have recently come across my old journals, pocket diaries, etc and am delighted to see that many things are worth sharing with you all.

I got the inspiration for the same from a quote I read somewhere that a brilliant idea never strikes again like lightening doesn’t strike the same place twice.

So, here I am presenting the thoughts/ideas with date when it was jotted down in my pocket diary. I hope the readers will be glad to see the genesis of this blog and can learn many wonderful words of Wisdom. I am expressing my heartfelt gratitude for all the events and activities of my life which provoked such thoughts; here you may also find inspirational quotes that I had read or heard at that point of time. Most of the ideas and thought are original but the quotes may be from somewhere like (Movies, Article, Interactions or Videos which touched my heart to the point that I wrote about it in my pocket diary)

Ø  The HT paper was terribly bad. Many questions were out of syllabus and I found it very difficult to solve questions. I think I will pass the exam with “D” grade, i.e. (40-49 marks out of 100). ( After thoughts of the exam on 21.04.2010).

[Remarks- That exam taught something really important. I had just put the last 12-13 hours before the exam to consolidate whatever I learned during the semester. When I saw the questions, I understood that I am going to fail as I thought that the paper was tough only for me. But, when I saw similar expressions on the faces of our toppers, then I realized that many questions are out of syllabus. I knew one thing that for failing me in this exam, the teacher has to fail at least 95% of the students. After that, I don’t know what happened, but I got the inspiration to try each and every question and I put my best efforts. Finally I got “B” grade, i.e. 70-79 out of 100. Grades are not important but the experience is really what matters.]
