Learn More Wisdom

"We learn more wisdom much more often from failure than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery."~Dr Samuel Smiles, Scottish Writer, Friendship Book of Francis Gay, 1984

Me

Learning words of wisdom from people helps me to be philosophical and practical in my approach to life. Of course, I follow my own conviction trying not to compromise any conventions. I certainly do not lean on my own understanding either. We all need divine inspired guidance. My parents were my first teachers who taught me some "nuggets of wisdom". To them, I am indebted my knowledge of life to which they molded my intellectual and spiritual well-being.

As to my readers, I have few quotation links here, please feel free to use them if they can be of any help. It's there to share.

With Love,
