We must never settle for good enough. If we settle for the good thing that we achieved then we'll miss the great thing on hindsight.

It's because good is the enemy of great....

We must be setting our rules and standards and surpassing them constantly, that is what stretches us and take us towards greatness.

We grow when we take challenges and we face even more challenges because we are growing. It's a never ending game. So, never settling for the good is worth modelling it.

Most often we celebrate our past success. We live in the fantasy of the things we achieved in the past. We think that our success is what defines us; it is what makes us grow.

Does celebrating our past success makes us grow? Does it help us in any way?

Yes, of course, it enhances our courage and confidences. But, it is not the success that defines us or makes us grow. Instead, it is our sufferings and pains that make us grow. It is our grit and and the ability to tackle the failures that defines us. How we deal with the problem is what defines us.

But here is the punchline: The celebration of our past successes and achievements de-emphasize our future.

We must navigate our future instead of spending time by celebrating the past deeds.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

― Maya Angelou

So our future technology should focus on the costumers needs and desire. Fulfilling the needs of consumers should be the first criteria of all the business and ventures.

Its not only about the words or promises every business organization give; it's not also about what we did or how we did. None of them matters.

It's about how our products, our services and our initiation made them feel that matters.

Our principles are the rules we choose to live by. They guide our decisions, shape our behavior, and give structure to the way we move through life. Without them, it becomes easy to drift according to mood, pressure, or other people’s expectations.

Everyone has principles, whether clearly defined or not. Some are shaped consciously, while others are absorbed through habit and experience. They may develop and mature over time, but they usually remain connected to a deeper sense of purpose and character.

When we know our principles, decision-making becomes clearer. We waste less time in confusion because we are not choosing from endless options each time. We already know what aligns with us and what does not.

Sticking to our principles builds accountability, credibility, and self-respect. It helps us live with more consistency, and consistency is one of the foundations of a strong life.

"We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination that from reality."

-Seneca

Reality is hard truth but the imagination is the ingredient that make us suffer all the time. The suffering from the imagination is so immensely impressed that we start to believe it as is it is surreal.

We become frightened from the imagination but the reality hurt us. But most often we are frightened than we are hurt because we're too much engaged in imagination.

So imagination is not the truth; it is just the state of mind. The truth is reality.

Having a lot of information is nice but nothing can replace an actual experiences. Doing is everything.

Theory is nice. Having an information about most of the thing is good but without executing and becoming a practitioner, those information are of no real use.

We learn by doing not by assembling a lot of information about lots of things.

I came up with a quote this morning, by Ray Bradbury which goes, "We're all fools, all the time.  It's just we're a different kind each day. We think, I'm not a fool today. I've learned my lesson. I was a fool yesterday but not this morning. Then tomorrow we find out that, yes, we were a fool today too. I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.”

We always want to be perfect in all the things we do that's why we end up becoming depressed and broke because we won't be able to attain that level of perfection.

The greatest realization is that we're always in the process of approaching truth and perfection without actually ever reaching there.

The paradox of our time is that we’ve more knowledge but less insight.

We’ve more experts, yet more problem.

We got more friends but less communications.

We got fancier house but broken homes.

We’ve more hospitals, yet less treatments.

We make profits but loose relationships.

We’ve more thoughts but less sense.

We’ve multiplied our strength but reduced our values.

We’ve cleaned our rooms but polluted our souls.

We read too little but speak too much.

We talk more but do less.

We plan more but accomplish less.

We make huge promises, yet fulfill too little.

We spend more but have less.

We’ve learned wining but still lack patience and persistence.

We’ve become big men but with small character.

We have extraordinary personality, yet common knowledge.

We argue we are happy, yet we struggle for sound sleep every night.

We’ve too much to show but less content to store.

We’ve added years to life but not life to years.

We’ve learned to survive but not to live.

We got life but no meaning…

Success is not only the combination of decisions and  efforts, breakthrough and hard works. It is a gift.

It is gift in the sense that success comes with opportunity. It comes to those who're given an opportunity and also ave the courage to grab it.

Hard work plays a significant role for sure, but it's not enough.

It's opportunity that matters....

We insist our-self that we got to change and we also see lots of people being changed everyday.

But the irony?

We actually don't change. Our priority changes. Our principle doesn't change, but our action change because of the priority.

Our mindset changes but we, our inner SELF, is always the same and they are our core values, they are our principles. We always try our best to change because we wanted to, but somewhere along the way we fail.

We don't deserve change and we can't change. It is our priority that changes us. The driving force of change is not "US" but our "Priority."
