Inspirational Quotes  for Reflection: "Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success.

In the temple of Justice Awaiting the prophet Well-lighted And I saw men in robe Sitting according to law. Then a knock Court !!! O my Lord The prophet is here Let the Service begin.

I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon. I seek opportunity, not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen Coward and deluded by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk. To dream and To build,To fail and to succeed. I Refuse to Barter inventive for the dole. I prefer the challenges of life to dole. I prefers the challenges of life to the guaranteed existences : The thrill of fulfilment Instead of a Stale Utopia (imagined perfect place) I Will not Trade freedom for Beneficence. Nor my dignify for a hand out I Will never cower Before my master It is my heritage to stand erect Proud and unafraid. To think and act for My self To enjoy the benefit of my creations. And to face the world boldly And to say. This I have done. All this is what It means to be a man                     Thanks
