"What Is Your Motivation Quotes?"

"Whenever you fail, don't ever think that you failed because you are not worthy. If you have come this far, then there must be something in you that brought you this far; a fire that pushed you on, so put some more gas on the fire and push on. Get up, dust yourself off and come right back, not only with a vengeance but also with a plan to win."

I went to the Services Selection Board interview just a couple of months back, one of the toughest interviews that selects OFFICERS for the Indian Armed Forces.

He concluded by saying, "We sincerely hope to see you next time...in UNIFORM, BESIDE US..." Somehow these words are acting like gas on the fire and is propelling me on...

"The outer layers of a person only define or represent the vehicle/body they operate. The outer layers are easily offended and quick to embrace emotional things whether it's happy or sad. A person can only be who they really are when their soul shines through the thin and fragile outer layers. The Soul of a person is who they truly are, when the outer layer is removed. Remove your outer layers with yourself and in life so that you can be the best that you are."

So I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the first thing that popped in my head. Now I post it next to my computer at work.

"The samurai Sword is a thing of beauty, its blade unsurpassed by any other sword. Those that wield it have earned un-paralleled respect and honour. In times of our greatest difficulty, we look for the sharpest edge to end our pain and suffering, however like that sword, it is through the heat and fire and years of being beaten that the finest swords in the world are made. If you remember, when you feel that there is no hope, if you only wish for the end to take you, remember that you are the samurai sword and nothing can stop you after you get through this."
