My Favorite Inspirational Quotes

              Today I have made a list of some of my favorite quotes which I have come across. All of
you would have read this before, atleast some, if not all. We all come across these quotes may be
while reading a book, in newspapers, on someone's facebook profile or the easiest of them - just
go to google and put famous quotes you will find them all. But I always ask myself a question what
do we make of these quotes? Are they just a great assemblance of words which comes out of
famous personalities? Are they to be taken as insipiration, something that should be learnt from
and followed? Or something which needs to be memorized and to be said during a conversation
and sound awesome in front of others?

For me personally if I have to choose one, then first quote on the the list is the favorite one. It is the
one of the most simplest and the most appropriate quote which I unfortunately have not been able
to follow and implement in my life even after having read and memorized the quote four years ago.

Meanwhile not all quotes are insipirational, not all of them needs to be followed or taken seriously.
For example- Once Socrates said (I dont know to whom): My advice to you is get married, if you
get a good wife you will be happy, if not you will become a philosopher. In this instance you cannot
marry someone just to see whether you will be happy or to see whether you can become a philosopher.

I remember another one and its by Napolean Bonaparte he quoted: Let China sleep, for its awake
lets nations tremble. Now what can you or me do about China sleeping or being awake? the answer
is nothing. So these sort of quotes are just to read and may be these belong to that category of -
memorize and mention during a conversation and sound awesome. But I am sure that we all are smart enough to choose which ones are to be taken as just another quote and which ones to be followed.

Read the list (random order) and see how many of them have you read before and what their influence on you been?

1) Time is one thing which you can neither control nor command, it can only be honored and respected.

Tell Me Your Dreams

                    As the title suggests its about sharing our dreams, our lives and the situation that
we have to deal with. All of us have dreams no matter where we come from, we all go through
situations which makes an impact on our lives which might be good or bad. It all depends on how
we take it. If we go by the saying "whatever happens it happens for good" then everything should
seem alright. But are we all so mentally tough enough to take it as it comes? But the question
is do we have an option? Can we change what is supposed to happen? Yes, for some extent.
We can change our lives with what we do.

We will also share our interests, what we like or dont like? Share our thoughts and knowledge
about what we know and about what we are good at. You have lot of knowledge about cars,
how to make money online, how to write blogs (please teach me), good at cooking, you write
poems, you write stories or have questions (ask me I will try and find the answer), have ideas
which can be made use of and which can help others then please go ahead and share it. Or
you just want to discuss about a movie, book or a song and give your reviews then dont hesitate.

I personally am a bit knowledgeable with cars, fashion and I watch a lot of movies and I listen to
lot of music. Infact I work for an online music company (can't mention the name of the company) and previously have worked for a company who sell used car parts. So my knowledge about cars -
I would say is pretty good. Ask me and I will be glad to assist. So in the future you will see posts about cars, fashion, music, movies and about everything that I can share my thougths on and I want you to share yours.
As Eminem's song goes:

In my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what it'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's mind
Just to see what we find
Look at things through each other's eyes


So its about sharing our thoughts and  what we feel about our lives. Are we happy ? Are
we sober? Or is it what you call a monotonous life without any thrill? Are you someone who
needs a change in your life? It might be through financial stability, personal relationships or it
might be something which is giving you restless nights. So whatever it is- Come, share it with me.
Come, "Tell me your dreams".
