Science is not a matter of opinion; there is only one truth.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands - Michelangelo

A great artist is always before his time or behind it - George Edward

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery - Francis Bacon

Land really is the best art - Andy Warhol

"Art is not what you see but what others make you see"

-French Artist, Edgar Degas

The best scientists themselves are usually artists - Einstein

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from - Jodie Foster

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people - Eleanor Roosevelt

People have opinions about art, whereas science is a bit more concrete.

“All art should become science and all science art,” declared the German Romantic poet Friedrich Schlegel

Einstein once declared, "Creativity is the residue of time wasted."

When people asked Leonardo da Vinci the secret of his creative and inventing genius, he replied “Saper Vedere,” - to know how to see.

Saper vedere, Sapio audacter …sapere aude
To see is to know – dare to know …dare to be wise-think boldly!

Words have more influence when tied to an identity.

Ideas are not set in stone. When exposed to thoughtful people, they morph and adapt into their most potent form.

"An artist sells what he paints. A painter paints what he sells."- Pablo Picasso

John Cleese - “Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.”

Creativity is combining and connecting things:

Successful scientists have often been people with wide interests. Their originality may have derived from their diverse knowledge … Originality often consists in linking up ideas whose connection was not previously suspected - Beveridge

Only when they have exhausted all the food , water and air , they will know they cannot eat money!

Oftentimes the right moment to learn the most is when you’ve done something stupid, not necessarily when you’ve triumphed.

An optimist would say the glass is half full, while a pessimist would say it is half empty. I have a third point of view. For me the glass is always full - half with water and half with air .

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on January 7, 2014 at 6:52am: Ready to meet your soul mate? It’s you!
There is no wrong in portraying entrepreneurship as marriage with your enterprise. Just like in the institution of marriage, the startup venture demands you to confront your most feared situations, insecurities, excuses, justifications and limitations. In the course of time you will start to accept yourself despite of your weaknesses and shortcomings making you fall in love with yourself.

Do the work

The main challenge that chains down every wanna be entrepreneur is not the difficulty of the project, or the state of the marketplace, or the emptiness of bank account but the resistance to start. There can be thousands of excuses physical, mental, emotional, and psychological that we tell to ourselves from not being pulled out from the comfortable state of mind what we are in.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 19, 2013 at 7:11am: Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.

Stop worrying so much

"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment." Jim Rohn

Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen
Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that others are missing.
Stop being ungrateful

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 19, 2013 at 7:08am: The time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.
Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.
The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists; it rewards people who get things done.
Stop trying to make things perfect
Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.
Stop following the path of least resistance
It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t
The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.
Stop blaming others for your troubles
Stop trying to be everything to everyone
Doing so is impossible, and trying will only burn you out. But making one person smile CAN change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. So narrow your focus.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 19, 2013 at 7:01am: Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it anyway. Just do what you know in your heart is right.

Stop wasting time explaining yourself to others

Don’t live your life with hate in your heart. You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate. Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.” It is saying, “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.” Forgiveness is the answer… let go, find peace, liberate yourself! And remember, forgiveness is not just for other people, it’s for you too. If you must, forgive yourself, move on and try to do better next time.

Refuse to lower your standards to accommodate those who refuse to raise theirs.

Stop letting others bring you down to their leve

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 19, 2013 at 6:55am: If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.
Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.

Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first. Stop thinking you are not ready.

Relationships must be chosen wisely. It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company. There’s no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Fall in love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely. Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons.

In life you’ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.

Don’t worry about what others doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.

Jealousy is the art of counting someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “What’s something I have that everyone wants?” Stop being jealous.

Life’s curve balls are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those negative curve balls thrown at you in the past. You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.

Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 19, 2013 at 6:50am: One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.

Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.

We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 19, 2013 at 6:46am: Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.

Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.

You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 8, 2013 at 10:15am: Optimists hallucinate; pessimists get depressed. Both will not get anywhere. You must be willing to see everything the way it is - Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Love is not an instrument of convenience. Love is a process of self-annihilation - Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

I am not interested in you seeking God. I am interested in you becoming godlike by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Spirituality is neither a psychological nor a social process – it is 100% existential by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Waiting is not about time – it is a certain quality. You can wait upon someone or something only when you do not think too much of yourself - Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

When women go wrong, men go right after them.

Don’t be excessively concerned about health – that itself is sickness by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Compassion is the most liberating of emotions by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

'Be who you are and be that well'

You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.

The highest force in existence is consciousness, and you are that by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

To progress on the path, you should only be concerned about where you go, not where you came from by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

If you want to find out the purpose of life, you need to look beyond the limitations of body and mind by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

For any human being to be successful, Grace is needed. No matter how much intelligence, skill, and competence you have, you still will not be successful if you do not know how to receive Grace by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
