Get rid of anxiety


All success in the world... is the result of
indomitable spirit.
So don't be anxious,
just develop a 'can-do'
attitude. Nothing
is impossible.
A P J Abdul Kalam's advice to students

Look at people whenever they get excited, anxious or angry. They actually go mad. Anger is nothing but temporary madness, and it is the same with excitement and anxiety. When you are extremely angry you are crazy; you speak and act in a crazy way. It is a temporary state, in which you lose your mental balance.
Mata Amritanandamayi

Keeping stress down
is essential for good
physical and mental health, and unless
we master stress,
stress masters us.
So we all must make sure that we are not overcome by tension and worry.
E Sreedharan, MD, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation

This we can all bear
witness to, living
as we do plagued by
unremitting anxiety.
It becomes more and more imperative that the life
of the spirit be avowed as the only firm basis upon which to establish
happiness and peace.
The Dalai Lama

The bow too tensely strung is easily broken.
Publius Syrus

A Psalm of Life

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
"Life is but an empty dream!"
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,"
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Finds us farther than today.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labour and to wait.



Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
(1807-1882)
US nineteenth century poet and author.

Run to grab ur DREAM!!

"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running".
