Striving towards Excellence

-Karthik Gurumurthy

Think of knowledge like borrowed books - you didn't write them, you just collect them. The moment you realize this, pride melts away. The truly wise understand they're just tiny dots in this vast universe, holding a few drops from an endless ocean of knowledge.

Life's like a short-term rental - we're all temporary residents here. Instead of puffing up with pride about our little collections, why not enjoy this brief stay peacefully? The more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know. And that's okay - it's what keeps us curious and humble.

Remember: Those who brag about climbing mountains often slip on pebbles. True wisdom whispers; it doesn't shout.

Work is effective management of resourcers in a certain order to achieve a specific, functional objective.  While all of the resources of our life are God's gift unto us, the work we create out of all of these resources is actually our creation. Let our prayer be,  "Oh Lord, all the work I do is my creation of your resources. All thework I do from now on will be my offering onto you.  Everything I do in my life will be my gift, and is an expression of gratitude onto you.

Jackie Chan responded to a journalist's question about whether he is satisfied with his life with these wise words:

"You know, I once heard very wise words:

Your hard work is the dream of every unemployed person;

Your restless child is the dream of everyone without children;

Your small home is the dream of every homeless person;

Your little capital is the dream of every debtor;

Your poor health is the dream of every patient with an incurable disease;

Your peace, your peaceful sleep, your accessible food is the dream of everyone in a country at war.

You must appreciate everything you have. After all, no one knows what tomorrow will bring."

We should be appreciative for everything that we do have and never lose sight of that.

We should always practice positivity—-believe that anything is possible and always carry a positive and hopeful attitude.
