2. "You've got to find what you love. And that is
as true for your work as it is for your lovers.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your
life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is
to do what you believe is great work. And the
only way to do great work is to love what you
do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.
Don't settle.
As with all matters of the heart, you'll know
when you find it. And, like any great
relationship, it just gets better and better as
the years roll on. So keep looking until you
find it. Don't settle."
Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple Computer

meanings. After the release of the film 3
Idiots in India, my students are proudly
claiming'
"Yes, I am an Idiot, Proud to be....“

accomplish and a mission to fulfill are the happiest
people of all. Please exert yourselves vigorously with
the determination to live each day to the fullest so
that you may compose a golden diary of life.”
Dr Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhist Teacher
“For living a life of worthiness, one doesn't need to
know what the world needs. . . One needs to know
what is that one thing which makes you come alive
and you just go do it. You will find the answer to what
world needs i.e. it needs people who have come
alive.”
