"Genius is 1% inspiration and 9% perspiration". This quote by Thomas Edison is one of the many examples of successful people saying that they achieved their goals through hard work. Talent is very important and luck can be a decisive factor but one has to put in the effort and the hours in order to get results. Whether it be work or music or sports or acting or education, very few can say that they breezed through it.
"Tell me a story!" It's something we have all said many times as children and it's also a desire we have as adults. People may be bored by facts and logic after a while but a good story will keep a person's attention until its resolution. For business marketing and branding, effective storytelling is a very powerful tool.
You can't choose your family but you can choose your friends. A friend in need is a friend in deed. If you wish to have a friend, then be one. A friend is a single soul dwelling in two bodies and friendship means forgetting what one gives and remembering what one receives. There has been much said about friendship throughout the centuries but it remains a vital part of the human condition. Let's truly appreciate the friendships we have!
During these times, it is always a good idea to be thankful for what we have and not what we don't have. Gratitude gives meaning to our life and makes us appreciate the blessings we have in life. As the quote says, "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more!".
