10 Best Life Quotes

Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.    

Many of life’s failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.     

People have different reasons for the way they live their lives. You cannot put everyone’s reasons in the same box.     

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.   

It’s not about how hard you can hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have, you’ll never have enough.

You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated.

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on! So, you need to move as well! Keep moving in the direction of your dreams and continue your journey with a SMILE irrespective of success or failures.

You have one life; live it FULLY!

Beautiful Life Quotes by Ayn Rand

Autumn leaves on the tree

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality.

Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think.

Learn to value yourself, which means: to fight for your happiness.

If you don’t know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision.

Every man is free to rise as far as he’s able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he’ll rise.

Do not let your fire go out. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in the lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your riad and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

I started my life with a single absolute: that the world was mine to shape in the image of my highest values and never to be given up to a lesser standard, no matter how long or hard the struggle.

People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don’t sit looking at it – walk.

Ayn Rand born as Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum   on February 2 1905 and died on March 6 1982, was a Russian-American writer and philosopher. She is known for her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and for developing a philosophical system she named Objectivism. Educated in Russia, she moved to the United States in 1926. She had a play produced on Broadway in 1935 and 1936. After two early novels that were initially unsuccessful, she achieved fame with her 1943 novel, The Fountainhead. In 1957, Rand published her best-known work, the novel Atlas Shrugged. Afterward, she turned to non-fiction to promote her philosophy, publishing her own periodicals and releasing several collections of essays until her death in 1982.

PERSEVERANCE

Stamina is very important both in sports and in life. When life repeatedly knocks you with its punches, your stamina will help you to sustain the pain and continue your fight. And at the right time, you hit back with a mighty punch, topping it with another one and win with a knockout!

Just remember, perseverance is your stamina in life. Ensure you have it in abundance!

Trust

They say SILENCE speaks a thousand words. True. When there is trust, even your silence is understood. And when there is no trust, every single word you speak is misunderstood.

Building and creating Trust in others is very important in life!

Wish I Could Have Known It Earlier in Life…

The following are the life facts that I realized very late in my life and wish I could have known them earlier in my life:-

Never stop learning:- Once you have completed your formal education and got into your first job, most of us say goodbye to education. This is not correct. The education should continue side by side till your last day of life! Keep updating yourself. Learn something new always.

Be more Granular:- Avoid superficiality. Get into the specifics and into more details. This implies every aspect of your life, especially to your work/expertise. Remember, the more knowledgeable you are the more valuable you become to others. Your objective should be to achieve the ultimate mastery in your craft!

Keep the time frame of your life in mind:- We have limited time in our life but we all live as if we would be living till eternity! So, ensure you achieve your goals in a proper time frame. If you are not happy in your life then find out the reasons and fix the problem then and there. Don’t just wait that a miracle would happen some fine day and then you will achieve happiness. Time is precious so use it wisely! Also, learn not to regret. What has gone , let it go! You will have another day, another opportunity and another partner! Why sulk then?

Nurture your relationships:- This is very important. Often when young we give a damn to this. But we need people all the time – both in our personal lives and in our professional life. And every relationship needs time and effort. Be genuine when dealing with others. People understand what is fake and what is REAL. Also, be careful about your reputation especially if you want to climb the corporate ladder at a faster pace. Keep in mind- your reputation reaches faster than you!

Taking care of your Parents in real sense:- They have less time. Do whatever you ever wanted to do for them. Do it now. Don’t wait for a suitable time. They will seldom ask for what they want. You have to understand them and provide it to them.

Be mindful of what and how you speak:- Words are very powerful- both spoken and written. Ensure you use them wisely while interacting with others. At least be mindful that you don’t hurt people knowingly or intentionally. You don’t have to be diplomatic all the time but when criticizing some one , take care that your criticism is in the right spirit and not an insult or abuse to the other person.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

There comes a point in your life when you need to stop reading other people’s book and write your own.
