*Choose wisely as in life there's no backspace button* Wrong collaboration might do more harm to your business than good.Choose your business Partners wisely as you will get lot of fairweather allies who would only want to join you to steal your limelight and make use of your goodwill and would show their true colors when you are actually in need!!! Be good to the people on your way up the ladder cause you'll,meet them on your way down!!! You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream!!! Sometimes your mistakes are your biggest virtues. You learn so much from the mistake.Those things that you think are the worst thing's that's happening to you can somehow turn around and be the greatest opportunities!!! With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose!!! It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do!!! It's better to have a intelligent competitor with great business vision from whom you can learn than to have a dumb business partner who would harm your business!!! *Dar se Darna nahi Dar se ladna seekho!!!*

*When you fall take a break and Restart😊* It's ok to Fail It's ok to Fall,Get up Move on and Start Again!!! Don't let others define you!!! You cannot start with cluttered mindset.Clear the mess before you restart!!! Often it is the deepest pain that empowers you to become your highest self!!! Out of the shell of the broken heart emerges the newborn soul!!! No matter how hopeless or bleak the things appear,the moment always comes when suddenly our spirits revive and hope is reborn. That is why we must never give up!!! Sometimes you get to what you thought was the end and you find it’s a whole new beginning!!! Whether we remain the ash or become the phoenix is up to us!!! Just like moons and like suns, with the certainty of tides, just like hopes springing high — still I’ll rise!!!😊😊😊

*Never trade your self respect for anything!!!* I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions!!! If it scares you, it might be a good thing to try!!! Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are!!! Opportunities don’t happen, you create them!!! Write your own book instead of reading someone else’s book about success!!! Courage is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn!!! The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle!!! Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great!!! Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way!!! There are some things that it is better to refuse than to start though the offer appears lucrative where you will have to trade your integrity, self respect, work profile and peace of mind!!! Remember when you take up an assignment you are working for the organization and not one particular person so do your best but not at the cost of your self respect!!! When people take you for granted and disrespect you it's upto you to continue or leave where your hardwork is not valued!!!

*Bhais ke age been mat bajao!!!* Don't degrade your knowledge by teaching a fool who doesn't value it!!! Teach someone who is needy and passionate about the subject or else you will be wasting your energy, time and resources Don’t try to teach fools. They will make fun of your wise words!!! Wise men don’t need advice. Fools won’t take it!! Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something!!! Do not correct a fool, or he will hate you; correct a wise man, and he will appreciate you!!! A knavish speech sleeps in a fool’s ear!!! *Knowledge is divine don't waste it on fools!!!*
