You should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.
Be active! Take on responsibility! Work for the things you believe in. If you do not, you are surrendering your fate to others.
The reality of your own nature should determine your speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become tense and high-strung, slow down.
You have to dream before your dreams can come true.
If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.
A dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.
The bird is powered by its own life and by its motivation.
Man needs difficulties in life because they are necessary to enjoy success.
You have to have a goal but you have to have strategies to achieve it as fast as possible
If four things are followed – having a great aim, acquiring knowledge, hard work, and perseverance – then anything can be achieved
All of us do not have equal talent. But, all of us have an equal opportunity to develop our talents.
If you fail, never give up because F.A.I.L. means ‘First Attempt In Learning’. End is not the end; in fact E.N.D. means ‘Effort Never Dies’. If you get No as an answer, remember N.O. means ‘Next Opportunity’. So Let’s be positive.
Don’t fear for facing failure in the first attempt, because even the successful Maths starts with ‘Zero’ only.
