Great thoughts

• Be bold when u loose. Be calm when u win.
• No one will manufacture a lock without a key.
• Life laughs at u when u are unhappy. Life smiles at u when u are happy. Life salutes at u when u make others happy…
• Every successful person has a painful story. Every painful story has a successful ending. Accept the pain and get ready for success.
• Easy is to judge the mistakes of others. Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes.
• no one can go back and change a bad ending. But anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
• If u miss an opportunity, don’t fill ur eyes with tears. It will hide another better opportunity in front u.
• Chaing the face can change nothing. But facing the change can change everything.
• Don’t complain others. Change urself if u want peace.
• Mistakes are painful when they happened. But year’s later collection of mistakes is called experience, which leads to success.
• Heated gold becomes ornament. Beaten copper becomes wires. Depleted stone becomes statue. So, the more pain u get in life u become more valuable.
