24. “I am not interested
in listening to
100 ways by which
it cannot be done.
Can you tell me
one way
in which it can be done? .”
Sri A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Former President of India
in “Vision to Mission” (2003)

25. “As long as poverty,
injustice and gross inequality
persist in our world,
none of us can truly rest.
Poverty is not natural.
It is man-made and
it can be overcome and eradicated
by the actions of human beings.
Overcoming poverty is not
a gesture of charity.
It is an act of justice,
the protection of a fundamental human right:
the right to dignity and a decent life.”
Nelson Mandela
“The Campaign to Make Poverty History”

26. “If you can’t explain it simply,
simply
you don’t understand it well enough”

change the
world ?”

28. “ Everybody today seems to be
in such a terrible rush,
anxious for greater developments
and greater riches and so on,
~ parents have very little time
for each other;
parents have not much time
for their children; -
and in the home begins
the disruption of peace of the world”
Mother Theresa
“The hands that serve are holier
than the lips that pray.”

your best ~ always,
and remember to improve it
continuously.

38. Some more Thoughts
to ponder
before we move further

39. Are you concerned
or will continue
to remain unconcerned ?
If you remain unconcerned,
it results in
non-thinking carelessness.
Being concerned,
results in commitment.

40. No use
in having a RELIGION
which you cannot use
in everyday life.

41. Quality must become our
RELIGION .
How do you ensure
QUALITY
in everything ?
Try to get the best
out of everything –
Yes, every one.

42. Don’t be disheartened
by a catalogue of
seemingly insurmountable difficulties
and mounting problems.
Open up and search for
uncommon solutions to solve
our complex problems.
What is needed is
integration of Science,
Spirituality and
Social Wisdom.

43. Surely,
you got so much
from the Society.
Why not we commit ourselves
to give something back
to the society ?

44. The future of our Society,
any society for that matter,
lies in developing
a culture of honesty
which implies
not encouraging
a culture of dishonesty.
