Some random aphorisms - Food for thought

"If opportunity doesn't knock build a door" - Remember from my high school days, most probably from readers digest.

"Tough times never last but tough people do"- This one was on my uncles promotional calendar  for his seafood business back in early 90's. I didn't know until recently this is a title  of a book written by the famous motivational speaker/writer Robert H Schuller.

"Smooth seas never made a skillful sailor" This is one of my favorites, can't remember where I read but stuck in my mind.

"What I take with me is what I leave behind - Ho Chih Minh" Read on someones farewell email and liked it very much. 

“A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so. - Gandhi" you cannot walk into a Indian Railways train station without bumping into this one.
