Curb the cravings of immediate success
QUETTA: Don’t be scared by the turbulence of disappointment that life brings to you. Be a starfish, no matter how strong the tides, keep hold of the shore.
Curb the cravings of immediate success; don’t judge the iceberg by its height above the water. Ever wonder what is underneath the surface?
Persevere the tug of war in your mind; let your resilience loosen the grip, for a clutch will be crushed by the cannonball that is time.
Don’t let the mental ruckus caused by expectations narrow the light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t let the finish line get fogged up by the race between your heart and mind. Don’t let the darkness scare you as long as you can see the next 20 meters. Let your optimism be the headlights that guide you through the valley of pessimism.
