Dare to Dream & Explore

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.\
 
Explore.
Dream.
Discover.
 
 - Mark Twain

Where the mind is without fear

 

via notes to myself.. by Siddharth PV on 7/15/10

WHERE the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

By narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee

Into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

 

- Rabindranath Tagore

On Dreamers and Doers...

"Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible." T.E. Lawrence

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of hi...gh achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

A ship in harbor

A ship in harbor is safe -- but that is not what ships are built for.
 John A. Shedd, Salt from My Attic, 1928

Himmat Karne Waalon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti..

A poem by Harivanshrai Bachchan:

 

Lehron Se Dar Kar Nauka Paar Nahi Hoti

Himmat Karne Walon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti....

 

Nanhi Chinti Jab Dana Lekar Chalti Hai

Chadti Deewaron Par Sau Baar Fisalti Hai

Mann Ka Vishwas Ragon Mein Sahas Banta Hai

Chad Kar Girna, Gir Kar Chadna Na Akharta Hai

Akhir Uski Mehnat Bekar Nahi Hoti

Koshish Karne Waalon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti....

 

Dubkiyan Sindu Mein Gota Khor Lagata Hai

Ja Ja Kar Khali Haath Laut Aata Hai

Milte Na Sehej Hi Moti Pani Mein

Behta Duna Utsah Issi Heiraani Mein

Mutthi Uski Khali Har Baar Nahi Hoti

Himmat Karne Walon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti....

 

Asaflta Ek Chunati Hai Sweekar Karo

Kya Kami Reh Gayi Dekho Aur Sudhaar Karo

Jab Tak Na Safal Ho Neend Chain Ki Tyago Tum

Sangharshon Ka Maidaan Chhod Mat Bhago Tum

Kuch Kiye Bina Hi Jai Jai Kaar Nahi Hoti

Himmat Karne Walon Ki Haar Nahi Hoti....

Fear

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself -  Alchemist

The biggest enemy of success is the fear of failure - (I dont know who)

Fear is the biggest disease - M. K. Gandhi
