Life is full of small and big gifts and surprizes. Some are what we look forward to and some are not, well but life goes on. One of the most important lessons in life that I have learnt is 'There no pain that you experience which is the ultimate, there is a whole world out there feeling much more' so feeling low or negative will never help anyone. The only diferentiator between success and failure is your positive outlook towards life.
Apart from being positive, the only other thing which makes life worth is learning. We need to learn new things to grow our capabilities, our perspectives and our experiences. I have been intrigued by a whole lot of things in life, and am habituated to collect things which I feel are worth looking at in the future. When i was young, I used to cut motivational and important articles in a scrap book. While I have not put up my thoughts and feelings on the same I have collated plenty of articles that I hope will help build an effective individual.
