Success is not an accident. It is no miracle either. It is simply a matter of cause and effect.

If you do what you've always done, you will get what you have always got. To achieve something you have never achieved before, you must do something you have never done before.

You are where you are and what you are because of yourself; not one else.

Man is not a creature of circumstances; circumstances are  creature of man.

In the Beijing Olympics, Chin stunned the world by breathtaking performance and took 100 medals. India got 3. Another human being by the name of Michael Phelps made his way to 8 golds single-handedly. What would you call this?
