1. “Ants too build their house with a hope to live there for years together. ‘Hope’ – A necessity to lead a life of happiness and satisfaction!”
Hope is a feed which helps every individual to frame and form his/her life. Hope is the energy that simulates your desire to stagnate a continuous and nonstop progress in your life. Expecting is completely different from hoping. Hope is a very positive wait to welcome something very auspicious which amazes our lives, whereas expectation is a rating which you are going to assign for the upcoming result of what you’ve done. An innocent and an optimistic wait will always found ‘betterment’ which further pushes you to attain the peak of ‘best.’ Never hesitate to plan your life and shape your future. You have just one life, so don’t even think of compromising on the quality of the way of leading your life.

We all know that nothing can be changed of our past. What we must remember is that, the future is all in our hands. Remember that the key to change, form and shape the future lies in the heart of your present.

Every action of yours and every step you take, aren’t just consequences of your thought process but also fertilizers to grow the gardens of your future. Feel your life, sense every minute you live and consciously observe what exactly you are doing in life. This helps you not only analyze your present life but also guides you in fulfilling your future dreams.

3. “You don’t have to lose just because you are hurt. Let the pain increase your hunger to achieve.”
Never give up even in the toughest of toughest situations. You are here to find out what your potential is and spread it to the whole world. Your failures may become an opportunity for the world to learn from. Anyone can achieve when everything in life and world is supportive. One can be called great if achievements stream through his/her life while living under unfavorable conditions, unsupportive situations and unnecessary criticism. Growth gets its complete meaning when you drive over the pulling down forces and hindrances. That’s life! It’s one among those things which cannot be changed but has to be accepted to move ahead. If your dreams and aims seem very important to you then wounds should never stop you from doing what you have to.

4. “A volcano doesn’t wait for an external push to erupt it. The burning lava inside it does it all.”
You must be your own motivator. No one on earth will unconditionally help you. Remember, self-help is the best source of help one can get. You got to motivate yourself, push yourself, compliment yourself, hold yourself high and encourage yourself in order to empower your life. You’ll know when you feel low. Thus, it is your responsibility to charge your mind immediately and prepare your heart to witness a grand opening of your growth and success. If your desire to achieve success is very strong then it transforms into a buzzword which takes over all your thoughts. Therefore, it creates a situation such that you don’t even require an external source for your daily dose of inspiration. The burning passion is what is quintessentially required which ignites your spirit and further designates your life with victories.

The otologist received the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in the fields of physiology and pathology.

5. “It isn’t about simply existing. It’s about living! You only live once; so why not live it to the fullest?”
There’s nothing great about living life as everyone does. The one who leads his/her life is tagged as an achiever. The way of leading life makes an achiever different from the common. The ordinary can turn into an extraordinary in no time, provided that the difference-bringing factor is appended. Living life is succeeding in completing our span of stay on earth. But, leading life is to live for succeeding and not just succeeding in living. The life of Henri La Fontaine became a lesson for many to mold their life. He, his life and his actions were followed to incorporate his ideas into people’s lives for them to achieve. This is called leading life!
