The secret to take life forward is only known to your 'mind', and mind and brain
have no communication. Hence, the matters which your brain thinks will make
you grow, know for sure that they will push you back in life and the ones that you
feel will push you back in life, understand that these are the matters which will
help you sail the summit of success.
-Deep Trivedi
