Gentleness and goodness are the roots of humanity.
-Scriptures

The people who are successful in life are not so because they are highly qualified,
intelligent or meticulously doing their job, but the secret of their success lies in
the fact that they have educated themselves only with the vital, need-based, the
most essential knowledge...and they put in just the required effort in any task
that they pursue. By doing so, they conserve their precious time and energy
which eventually proves to be helpful in leading them to the path of success.
-Deep Trivedi
The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present.
-Alan Lightman
