I was talking to few interns yesterday, who wanted to have some tips before they startoff with their firstever client project. Had a rant with them, which summarizes to famous lines

Nigah buland, sukhan dil nawaz, jan pursoz
yehi hain rakt-e-safar mir-e-caravan ke liye

A lofty vision; a voice which touches the heart, a consciousness suffused with compassion,
these are the only real requirements for the leader of the caravan

Harivansha Rai Bachchan has great lines in hindi which conveys the same message:

…………

for people not knowing hindi, an english translation of above lines

Tiny ant with food grains, tries climbing wall,
slips & falls umpteen times.
Its confidence which powers strength in her nerves,
climbing up and falling demotivates.
Atlast her hardwork pays up.
One who tries never looses

Thank you Vivek for republshing wonderful lines on your blog. I never knew this side of your perosona.
