"There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living."  – David Starr Jordan

Family and Business Life

Learn to juggle your work and family. Even if you are in a very hard-hitting, high-powered position in your business, you do not have to sacrifice your family. Take self-care measures and get creative about integrating your work and family life so you can be a successful leader and fulfill personal obligations.

Love

Love  is  defined as one's behavior towards others. It has many meanings. It can mean an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or emotional state. Love can be interpersonal or impersonal. Interpersonal love is love between human beings, and is more sympathetic than the notion of very much liking for another. A person can be said to love  a home, country,  a principle, goal, job, or hobby if they value it greatly and are deeply committed to it. People can also 'love' material objects, animals, or activities if they invest themselves in bonding their identity with that item.

I’ve Learned… (By Andy Rooney)

I've learned... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

I've learned... That when you're in love, it shows.

I've learned... That just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day.

I've learned... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

I've learned... That money doesn't buy class...

I've learned... That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

Stray Birds

By: Rabindranath Tagore

The best does not come alone. It comes with the company of the all.

If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

I cannot chose the best. The best chooses me.

What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.

They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back.

Man is a born child, his power is the power of growth.

O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror.

Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love.

Do not blame your food because you have no appetite.

He has made his weapons his gods. When his weapons win he is defeated himself.

God finds himself by creating.

The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.

The mind sharp, but not broad, sticks at every point but does not move.

Live is given to us, we earn it by giving it.

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open.

"How far are you from me, O Fruit?" –  "I am hidden in your heart, O Flower."

Do not insult your friend by lending him merits from your own pocket.

I cast my own shadow upon my path, because I have a lamp that has not been lighted.

The bird thinks it is an act of kindness to give the fish a lift in the air.

If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out.

Silence will carry your voice like the nest that holds the sleeping birds.

The canal loves to think that rivers exist solely to supply it with water.

The sun greets me with a smile. The rain, his sad sister, talks to my heart.

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

By touching you may kill, by keeping away you may possess.

Men are cruel, but Man is kind.

Kicks only raise dust and not crops from the earth.

Let him only see the thorns who has eyes to see the rose.

Set the bird's wings with gold and it will never again soar in the sky.

The stream of truth flows through its channels of mistakes.

Lead me in the centre of thy silence to fill my heart with songs.

Put out the lamp when thou wishest. I shall know thy darkness and shall love it.

We live in this world when we love it.

Let this be my last word, but I trust in thy love.
