We all want to succeed, don’t we? However, the universe already lays plans for us. Whatever needs to be achieved is not so easy to get and whatever we get, we are not satisfied. We become disheartened and unmotivated. During this dark phase, one single ray of hope can turn the tables around. The experience and wisdom of successful people and elders counts a lot. Their success mantras can shape up our lives too. Their preaching and teachings can affect us tremendously. Their quotes can motivate a person to his utmost potential.

– Steve Jobs

– Swami Vivekananda
