“I remember when my oldest son took his first step. My wife and I were so excited, but we expected him to fall right after he took it. And he did. But we didn't condemn him for stumbling. We were patient and encouraging. We clapped when he got back up and cheered him on for continuing to try. Each time he attempted to walk, he would take more steps than the last time. But he would still fall, and sometimes he hurt himself. By letting him fail and loving him through it, he eventually succeeded.”

“At least once in your life, something will go terribly wrong, and oh by the way, it will be your fault (or at least seem to be). All the heads will turn to you. This is your defining moment, hold yourself, hold the panic, hold the anger, hold the blames. Accept the situation, remember this as a rule - "shit happens to everyone atleast once in their lifetime" so gather yourself and work to contain the damage, to fix what can be fixed and minimize the impact. Success isn't never falling it is getting up from a fall and turning things around.”

“GODMAN QUOTES 1 *** Born a God *** It’s a sign of laxity waiting for the future to come to be a hope to stay. Depend in what you can do to give what you can offer. If you rest in your trouble your peace is in trouble. The idea of a great thinker comes in thinking about the impossible. You can’t rebuke a bluff when you are taken in jokes. Your best is in the bluffs that snitch your glory. A value of anything is what you have accepted it to be. Because of troubles don’t run from problems. Better days will come but the best time is unknown. If you believe in yourself also believe in your worse.”
