LIFE LESSON IN QUOTES - INTROSPECTION

The teacher in the primary school days would always say

" Put the donkey at the back"

This was to mean that the egoistic I should be placed at the last and not at the first when a reference to set of individuals is being made. But does it mean the donkey will be on one's own back or will it become invisible as it is only for others to see. Well the basic tenet is one has to look within or to use the term introspect.

Aristotle, one of the profound thinkers said

The people's President, Dr. Abdul Kalam said that

" Adversity always present opportunities for introspection"

Kore Bryant challenged and dared people into introspection ans said,

" I liked challenging people and making them uncomfortable. 

That's what leads to introspection 

and 

that's what leads to improvement. 

You could say I dared people to be their best selves"

Suichiro Honda laid the path to success as under:

" Success can only be achieved through repeated failure 

and introspection"

The words of David Emerald Womeldorff sums up the essence of introspection

The Dalai Lama held introspection on a higher plane when saying

" To foster inner awareness, introspection 

and 

reasoning is more efficient than meditation and prayer"

Introspection which weighs the strengths and weaknesses impartially becomes the next life lesson in the series of A to Z.
