Just some gyaan to get me through this week!!
"I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world and foolish enough to think that's what I'll find."
~The Carpenters
"Each of us represents a star in heaven. Sometimes we shine with the rest. Sometimes we twinkle alone and sometimes, when we least expect it, we makes someone's dreams come true."

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring which you have not; but remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for."
~Epicurus
This is it. This is life. It's only coming around once. Move forward and don't look back. There's only gonna be one time around. If you got something to say, say it. If you got something to do, do it. This is your show."
~Louise Sybing
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But, it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried when you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for the want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear."
~Stephen King
You were chosen as the best possible person to live your life.

"Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But, life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about."
~Nike Ad
"If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope. If you can see the good in other people, then you still have hope. If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism, then you still have hope. If you still give people the benefit of the doubt, then you still have hope. If the suffering in others still fills you with pain, then you still have hope. If you still watch love stories or want endings to be happy, then you still have hope. If you can look at the past and smile, then you still have hope. If when faced with bad, and told everything is futile, you can still look at the up at the end of the conversation and say 'yeah...but...,' then you still have so much hope. If you still offer your hand of friendship to those who have touched your life, then you still have hope. If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it must end, then you still have very much hope."

"To be nobody but myself, in a world which is doing its best night and day to make me everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting."
~E.E. Cummings
"All your life, you are told the things you cannot do. All your life, they will say you’re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough. They’ll say you’re the wrong height or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you 'no' a thousand times 'no' until every 'no' just becomes meaningless. All your life, they will tell you 'no' quite firmly and very quickly. They will tell you 'no', and you will tell them 'yes.'"
~Nike Ad
"In the end, it's still best to wait for the one we want rather than settle for what is available. It is still best to wait for the one you love rather than settle for the one who is around. It's still best to wait for the right person because life is too short to waste on the wrong one."

When you're a little kid you're a bit of everything; Scientist, Philosopher, Artist. Sometimes it seems like growing up is giving these things up one at a time."

I m impressed with both the Nike Ads.
nice post...nike ads were good ...but the one by stephen king was very intriguing ...i've never read his works...maybe i shud...and where did u find the last but one...ny idea of the source.
I have to admit didn’t scour my books to find these quotes….. took the lazy way out and mined these off the internet …
I haven’t read too many Stephen Kings either ..but those lines are good ..i looked up wikipedia ( as you may have already!) its from a short story called The Body ..from a collections of short stories called The Different Seasons.. the interesting thing is The movie Stand by Me was based on this story …. I really want to read that book now!!!
As for the second to last quote ..that’s a good one as well…. And I would have thought it’s a line from a movie or something ..but seems to be from some written work,but cant seem to find any reference to the author on the net….
