Nothing worthwhile is ever achieved without deep thought and hard work.

Always aim at perfection for only then will you achieve excellence

Uncommon thinkers reuse what common thinkers refuse

Most of our troubles are due to poor implementation….wrong priorities and unattainable targets

Money is like manure. It stinks when you pile it; it grows when you spread it
