We have numerous examples of people who came from nowhere and achieved tremendous things. The most beautiful part of that is that they allowed us to look at their beliefs, way of thinking. So, by reading life quotes by those people we can find a new meaning and purpose of life. We can even get inspired to change our daily routine 100 percent.

'There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?' Elaine Dickinson, Airhostess (from the movie Airplane! 1980, Paramount Pictures)



Last night on a short break from World Cup Soccer, Steve and I were watching a B movie called Meteor Storm. You know the plot...a cloud of nasty black stones is headed for the West Coast of America. Time is running out. Women, children and pregnant ladies are running in panic through the streets of San Francisco while Dr Michelle Young, a lone woman scientist (who is having marriage problems) tries to figure out how to save the planet. The Golden Gate bridge is hit. Dr Michelle Young works on despite knowing that HER SISTER WAS ON THAT BRIDGE.

Like every other human being on this planet, you have given considerable thought about how to make your life more meaningful and how to live a deeply, rich, and rewarding life.



Life quotes can help you develop a solid understanding about the many aspects of life and they can also help you develop a deeper symbolic understanding of all of life's many situations.



Life quotes are, in their most basic form, words that uplift you, that stir you to think, and that cause you to reflect. On a deeper level, quotations can be used to derive great wisdom which can be applied as you walk your individual journey through this lifetime.



A simple, single sentence life quote from an anonymous author like: "Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead," can emphasize the need to spend your time living in the present, enjoying every single moment that is given to you, and to not waste time on things of little importance.

Wise Life Quotes

Wise Life QuotesWise Life Quotes



The wisdom behind these quotes is fairly obvious, and yet we never seem to remember to follow the life quotes we know to be wise. I, for one, never let go of my grudges, rarely apologize, and definitely don't love what I've got, I simply wait for life to change so that I can when really it should be the other way around. Quotes are there for a reason, to help guide us through the harder times of life, and yet we sit idly by and watch so many moments pass us by because we're too busy holding a grudge to remember those life quotes on our refrigerator magnets, coffee mugs, and posters at home.



Life doesn't change unless you make it, you can't win the lottery unless you buy a ticket, you can't fall in love unless you meet new people, you can't get a job unless you fill out an application. I sit at home complaining about how my life sucks, but what do I do? I sit on my couch and watch TV. I don't go online and look for jobs, I don't go out and try to meet new people, I don't even spend time with the people I live with most days. I just watch fictitious people, living their fictitious lives, and wishing my life was as interesting as theirs.

Why didn’t the media address corruption before Anna?



Anant Rangaswami Aug 29, 2011




Why didn’t the media address corruption before Anna?

The free press in India failed India by not keeping the pressure on the other three estates – the legislative, the government and the judiciary – over decades. Reuters


We’ve questioned the acts of omission and commission by the government, by the Congress party and by politicians in general. We’ve debated the stand taken by Anna Hazare and the wisdom behind, and the appropriateness of the strategy employed by Hazare and his team. We’ve dissected every statement and action by all these worthies, we’ve questioned their intent and their commitment, we’ve looked for hidden agendas and we’ve rapped them on the knuckles for transgressions.

What about the role that media has played? Who puts the news media under a microscope to check if all is well?

News television is patting itself on the back on the contribution to a victory for Team Anna and, consequently, for the people of India.

The self-congratulation is misplaced; Anna Hazare’s movement was born because all news media, including television,  had failed him – and the people of India.

A free press is one of the pillars of a democracy, the pillar that influences the legislature, the judiciary and the government. Has it played the role expected of it?

Numerous observers have emphasized that a free press is valuable for democracy, for good governance, and for human development. This perspective is exemplified by Amartya Sen’s famous argument that in independent and democratic countries, the free press encourages government responsiveness to public concerns, by highlighting cases of famine and natural disasters. “…in the terrible history of famines in the world, no substantial famine has ever occurred in any independent and democratic country with a relatively free press,” says a Harvard study on the role of the press in democracy.



Media has failed as the Fourth Estate. Reuters
“A free press is not a luxury. A free press is at the absolute core of equitable development, because if you cannot enfranchise poor people, if they do not have a right to expression, if there is no searchlight on corruption and inequitable practices, you cannot build the public consensus needed to bring about change,” James D Wolfensen, former head of the International Monetary Fund, is quoted as saying in the same study.

In theory, we have a free press inIndia, and the fourth estate should have encouraged ‘government responsiveness to public concerns’ and should have helped build ‘the public consciousness needed to bring about change’. The free press in India failed India in this instance, by not keeping the pressure on the other three estates – the legislative, the government and the judiciary – over decades.

While media certainly needs to be congratulated on cornering various governments on the larger cases of corruption, such as the 2G scam, the CWG scam, the mining scam and so on, they paid scant attention to the culture of corruption that directly affected the common man – a constituency that Anna Hazare understands well.

The failure of the news media in this area was what Anna Hazare spotted in the first place – and the power of the media witnessed in the scams highlighted above is one that he both recognised and understood. In effect, for the common man, Anna Hazare became the Fourth Estate, using news media, firstly, to raise awareness about the issue of corruption and, secondly, to force the legislative and the government into acting on the issue.

None of this would have succeeded unless Anna Hazare had understood the pulse of the people in his choice of cause. Hazare saw what media failed to see. As a result, the media coverage on the Lokpal Bill over the past few months, but more so since Anna Hazare’s fast began, has followed a timeline and an agenda set by Anna Hazare. Anna Hazare became the cynosure of all eyes, the embodiment of trust and honesty – and the one that the populace could rely on in their battle against corruption.

Did they even know that they had a battle? No, not till Hazare told them.

This is where media has failed as the Fourth Estate. The media should have highlighted the issue in a sustained campaign years ago, pressurizing the political classes into action. They should have created and presented their version of a Lokpal Bill. They should have forced the houses of Parliament to debate the issue.

Instead, a media without power or influence is the tail of the dog, wagged by all those who can give them more eyeballs, be they politicians or representatives of civil society. Like the politician, the media could not ‘occupy’ the position of being honest and caring about the people. Where were they (as far as corruption was concerned) all these years?

So it will stay in the present instance – unless news media does what it is supposed to do. Instead of relaxing during a break between acts in this riveting drama, media must help citizens understand the nuances (and differences) between the various versions of the Lokpal Bill and, as a consequence, take a position on who is fighting their fight.

Going beyond the Lokpal Bill, news media needs to re-own the role that society defined for it. Not just the India that lives in the metros in comfortable houses, but the India that lives just above (and below) subsistence levels of income.

What are the issues that affect them the most? Anna Hazare himself has highlighted some: land policy, election-related corruption, education, and so on.

These – and others – are all opportunities for the Fourth Estate to demonstrate that they understand and fight for the causes of the common man. This is not simple; investments need to be made to first understand areas of the government and the legislature failing the common man, then to highlight these issues and their ramifications and, finally, to pressurise the government and law-makers into action.

Failure to do so will result in many Anna Hazares leading many causes across the country, defining agendas that are set and executed by them – and followed by the media.

That would be a sad commentary on the Fourth Estate.

Salman: My father thinks my best is yet to come



Salman Khan
    

Sonil Dedhia in Mumbai

Salman Khan is a phenomenon. He always was. There's no genre he hasn't attempted, he has an incredible fan following and he delivered some of the highest grossing films in the past couple of years.

Quite interestingly though, the star's father -- noted scriptwriter Salim Khan -- is of the opinion that his best is yet to come 

In an exclusive interview with Sonil Dedhia, Salman raves about his film Bodyguard, shrugs off his disastrous previous pairing with Bodyguard co-star Kareena Kapoor, and clears the rumours about the Sanjay Dutt spat.

Your father Salim Khan has said that your best is yet to come.

If he says so, then I guess my best is yet to come.

After three blockbusters (Wanted, Dabangg and Ready), do you feel you have what it takes to deliver a blockbuster?

The audience has to love my work for a film to be a hit. It is they who declare the film a hit or a flop. We make films so that people get entertained. Cinema is the biggest form of entertainment in India and I am just giving what my fans and the audience wants.

Did the success of Wanted and Dabangg prompt you to release Bodyguard on Eid?

Bodyguard was ready and the best date to release was Eid. It's all about releasing a film on a good day or during the festive season when people are happy and want to go out with their family and friends and want to enjoy.
