By extrapolation of this truth...

a husband hates his wife who never gives him a chance to grumble or complain;

and a wife hates her husband who fulfills her desires before she could express them!

People want to talk, argue, convince and fight before they accomplish their missions.

What is a life without friction and the heat associated with friction!

Without friction man won't be able to move one step forward!!! :)
 
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me."


Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
 
"That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end, because once you get there, you can move mountains."

Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
 
"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."

Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
 
"I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things."


Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
 
Steve Jobs gave an interview in "60 minutes" in 2003 in which he shared that his business model was inspired by The Beatles: "My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are not done by one person, they are done by a team of people."
 
Whenever you commend, add your reasons for doing so; it is this which distinguishes the approbation of a man of sense from the flattery of sycophants and admiration of fools.
Steele, Sir Richard
 
The waves belong to the Ganges, not the Ganges to the waves
A man cannot realize God unless he gets rid of all such egotistic ideas
as ‘I am such an important man’ or ‘I am so and so’.
Level the mound of ‘I’ to the ground by dissolving it with tears of devotion.

Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Death is a great leveler and equalizer.
No point in being the richest man there!
Doing something good when we live matters more!

Simplifying a complex task is
more difficult than people can ever imagine!
That is why all great things are simple
and all great men are humble!

We do our very best when
we do what we love to do!

When Thomas Alwa Edison's electric bulb failed several times he is supposed to have said similar thing. He said that he had found out in how many different ways the bulb would not work and they were not real failures.

If two heads are better than one,
then certainly four heads are even more so.

Only with sufficient / proper reasoning can appreciation be termed as a praise; without them they are usually a flattery (of sycophants) or admiration (of fools).
I will leave it to you to figure out the context :)

Praising is harder than flattering
since it involves evaluating. :clap2:
