1. “The duration you take to reach destination from where you are right now is dependent on the amount of time you take to replace the negativity in mind with positive vibes.”

Life is simple when plans work, dreams come true and aims are achieved. The amount of hard work, the quality of efforts and the struggles which you wholeheartedly go through proves how ready you are, to walk along the path of success which is largely unpredictable. Your present position cannot affect your future position unless you rely upon the present conditions without doing your part in changing it.

2. “Never miss out on taking a chance in life because, the same opportunity never repeats.”

Opportunities may keep coming but the same opportunity never repeats. Every opportunity is a tool that builds you and is unique. Once you miss an opportunity, it means that you’ve missed something that can enhance the aroma of succeeding spirit. We can still be positive and capture the next opportunity that arrives. You need to be optimistic to think that a bigger and better opportunity comes to you. This positive spirit keeps you going. Never hesitate to take a chance to prove your skills. You never know in what way it helps you; you get recognition and appreciation which takes you to the next level or you may catch hold of passion and rock your life ahead. So the best way to explore and make your life is to accept all that comes to you and give it all, a try.

The golden hand behind such a legacy initially had got a chance to gain experience by working at small scale. He made use of this opportunity by setting up ironmongers business on his own. His work, skill and vision made him employ 50 men, 10 boys and 3 women. He worked for the Alfred Herbert Company in Coventry, then the UK's largest machine-tool manufacturer and grew up to represent the firm. Gaining knowledge, experience, lessons sand understandings, he rose to create a legacy which continues to give employment to many.

3. “Every action decides your destiny. So, wake up every morning with positivity.”

4. “Smile is an ornament that adds beauty to the face. Smile is also a weapon that chases a problem away.”

Everybody worry about problems and is scared to face them. The real difference is how you react to it – to face the problem or to escape with fear. The best part is that a very simple but an effective weapon to face problems and fears is righting you. It is an inbuilt part and feature of you. A positive approach towards everything wins. A smile that ornaments you, increases your beauty and the same smile can also turn into a tool that has the power to free you from problems.

5. “Life is not a choice but lifestyle certainly is. How your life turns out to be, depends on the choices you make.”

Don’t forget that most of what you have in your life is not fate but your choice. In fact, everything in life is a choice. If a student wants good results and craves to become a topper then the way to accomplish the same is all left to the student. He/she has to choose between working hard or relax to take studies lightly. So it is very much clear that, if you choose the right way, then you will get what you desire; ‘to deserve’ must be the attitude you got to choose. A racer loses in a contest because he chose an easier way which never involved as much as struggle as the winner went through. What you get depends on what you choose. Choosing easy ways which demand less sweat and pain would indeed fetch you lesser grade of success than those who chose the actual real tough path which led to ultimate success.

She was a pacifist and also a women's rights activist who dedicated her entire life for the same.
