Only those who have the spirit of enquiry will achieve great success in intellectual and academic fields. Those devoid of this spirit will remain static, and will fail to climb to the top of the ladder of success.

Complaint about or protest against problems is of no value. Problems are no created by some person: they are part of nature. No one has the power to change the course of nature. We have no option but to accept this natural course. So when you face a problem, don’t be negative. Be normal. Don’t be disturbed. Don’t allow to tension to develop.

The only initiative worth taking is one which will yield positive results. If one embarks on a destructive course of action it will be oneself that suffers: therefore, one should steer clear of such actions, as any sensible person steers clear of destroying his own life.

Some disagreement is always inevitable between two parties or individuals in this world. But it is also inevitable that there must be some areas of agreement. This being the case, there is only one way to prosper and progress; that is, to ignore the matters that divide one from others, and concentrate on cultivating areas of mutual concern.
