Words that inspire...

I jus happened to come across some very inspirational quotes when i was reading something. The first one was:

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

And then some time later i got to see this:

“To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.”

and this too:

“You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result”

Wow! all these three quotes were stated as said by none other than Mr. Mahatma Gandhi regarded as Father of my nation. A wise man whom i respect for some of his ideologies. Leave what i don't like about him as it's significance is so small considering the stature of the soul being a great leader that he was.

The third quote is something that i strongly believe in. There is nothing called luck if you don't try something at the first place. Luck comes into picture only when you start doing something and you get lucky to have luck on your side. :) Imagine yourself wanting to play in Indian cricket team and you do not plan to hold the cricket bat/ball and practice. You do not play the game saying it is not your cup of tea after giving it a small try. And then later you blame it on luck saying you couldn't be the player you wanted to be. People don't get lucky so easily. But some do ;). But inorder to get lucky you need to play and play and play and do not quit until you can play no more. Now you get lucky during this period of time that you kept playing the game to the best of your ability. Not only do you keep your self in contention of being lucky enough to get selected, but also get your skills that you've honed during this struggle to show it's colors. So don't blame it on luck any more and quit doing something in a cheap way but you rather keep trying and increase the probablity of getting lucky and have some self respect.

Second quote is something that just made me recognize that i'm a dishonest person that i've never imagined to be. :( At times more than once i belived in something and have not stood by or lived upto what i've belief in. Hmm, time to re think and act on them. For some things i won't be able to amend damages already done but i can bring a change and make things better.

The first quote in itself says it all. This post started off with me reading that quote and one thing led to another and i was reading all the 3 quotes and i just thought to write it down.. :)
