Quotes from Chetan Bhagat's Speech at Symbiosis
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?
It's ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices........."
"Don't be serious, be sincere"

Good Manners
Good manners have much to do with the emotions. To make them ring true, one must feel them, not merely exhibit them - Amy Vanderbilt

A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Good manners and soft words have brought many a difficult thing to pass - John Vanbrugh
Those that are good manners at the court are as ridiculed in the country, as the behavior of the country is most mockable at the court - William Shakespeare
