Another Good one

If successful people have one common trait, it's an utter lack of

cynicism. The world owes them nothing. They go out and find what they

need without asking for permission; they're driven, talented, and

work through negatives by focusing on the positives.

Quotes

These are some of the quotes that are different from the run-of-mill variety that we come across everyday. They are quotes on LOGIC/DATA ANALYSIS/KNOWLEDGE etc, quite relevant. Read it from many Sherlock Homes stories that i have read over a period of time. Excellent work by Sir Doyle.

• His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.




• It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.
• You know a conjurer gets no credit when once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.
• What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence," returned my companion, bitterly. "The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done?
• I never guess. It is a shocking habit — destructive to the logical faculty.
• I never make exceptions. An exception disproves the rule.
• How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?
• It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
• Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.
• "Data! Data! Data!" he cried impatiently. "I can't make bricks without clay."
• Education never ends Watson. It is a series of lessons with the greatest for the last.
• We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.

The boiling frog

Slow change in organisations and even in personal life are more easily absorbed than sudden changes which are resisted. An interesting metaphor to explain.

If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death.
—Version of the story from Daniel Quinn's The Story of Boiling Frog

Myopia and Amnesia

Myopia and Amnesia are two problems that plague leaders worlwide.

Workers

This is dedicated for professionals who work their guts out to make sure that their bosses get hefty pay hikes and bonusses. I read it in class X and found it apt in professional set-ups.

जो पुल बनायेंगे वोह इतिहास में पीछे ही रह जायेंगे,
पार हो जाएँगी सेना, विजयी होंगे राम, मारे जायेंगे रावण,
जो पुल बनायेंगे वोह इतिहास में बन्दर कहलायेंगे.
