Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

Henry Ford was an American industrialist and a business magnate, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and the sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production.

Some interesting quotes from Henry Ford
  • Don’t find fault, find a remedy.
  • Vision without execution is just hallucination.
  • If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.
  • The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.
  • Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
  • To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.
  • Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
  • A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.
  • There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: make the best quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.
  • Employers only handle the money – it is the customer who pays the wages.
  • Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.
  • You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.
  • There is no man living who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.
  • Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.
  • Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.  Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
  • Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.
  • Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars.
  • You don’t have to hold a position in order to be a leader.

Ramo Vigrahavan Dharmah

A great verse from Ramayana: आहार निद्रा भय मैथुनं च  सामान्यमेतत् पशुभिर्नराणाम् । धर्मो हि तेषामधिको विशेष:  धर्मेण हीनाः पशुभिः समानाः ॥ AhAra-nidrA-bhaya-maithunam cha samAnam_etat_pashubhir_narANAm | dharmo hi teShAm adhiko visheSho dharmeNa hInAH pashubhiH samAnAH|| Eating, Sleep, Fear and Sex ; these habits are common between human beings and animals. It is the Dharma which is the special quality of the human beings. Without the Dharma, they are similar to the animals.  Rama is The Embodiment Of Dharma.  Maaricha, while speaking to Ravana- (Aranya Kandam 37-13): रामो विग्रहवान् धर्मः साधुः सत्य पराक्रमः | राजा सर्वस्य लोकस्य देवानाम् इव वासवः || ३-३७-१३|| raamo vigrahavaan dharmaH saadhuH satya paraakramaH | raajaa sarvasya lokasya devaanaam iva vaasavaH || 3-37-13 "Rama is the embodiment of righteousness, he is an equable person with truthfulness as his valour, and as with Indra to all gods he is the king of entire world.

What Is Intelligence, Anyway? - Isaac Asimov

When I was in the army, I received the kind of aptitude test that all soldiers took and, against a normal of 100, scored 160. No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me. (It didn't mean anything. The next day I was still a buck private with KP - kitchen police - as my highest duty.) All my life I've been registering scores like that, so that I have the complacent feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such cores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who make up the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents similar to mine? For instance, I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80, by my estimate. I always took it for granted that I was far more intelligent than he was. Yet, when any...
