Karan Jaidka

“It is said that we come with nothing into this world, and take nothing back. But that’s not true. We carry our karma with us. And we leave behind our reputation, our name.”
― Amish Tripathi, Sita: Warrior of Mithila

“We can change our habits. We needn’t be at the mercy of thoughts like ‘that’s just my personality’ or ‘it’s in my genes so there’s nothing I can do about it’. Negative habits can be replaced with positive ones, selfish ones with kind ones, suspicion with trust, hostility with empathy and complaints with gratitude. – David R. Hamilton, Why Kindness is Good for You”
― Om Swami, The Book of Kindness: How to Make Others Happy and Be Happy Yourself

“After spending years around investors and business leaders I’ve come to realize that someone else’s failure is usually attributed to bad decisions, while your own failures are usually chalked up to the dark side of risk.”
― Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

“And that’s the thing, you see – when I talk about kindness, I’m not simply saying you should be kind to others. That comes a step later. First, you must be grateful to those who are kind to you. No matter how small an act of kindness may be on the other’s part, if you don’t hold back in expressing your gratitude, if you deeply appreciate what they have done or are trying to do, you will be bringing a lifelong positive change in the other person’s life. This will not only help them and yourself, but also the whole world.”
