Never Never think what others think about you, they are busy thinking about their life. Never wait for things to happen, things don't wait. Never doubt yourself, someone is confident about you. Never look people down, someone is looking upon you. Never blame others,  someone is correcting it. Never think failure is the end, someone is learning lessons from your failure. Never compromise on the quality of your service, someone will suffer. Never talk about losses, you are stopping your self from coming out of it. Never cry over a spilled milk, there is a cloth in your hand. Never be a part of the gossip, tomorrow you will be the subject of the gossip. Never forward a message without reading it, you're missing the learning from it. Written by:M.L.Narendra Kumar⁠⁠⁠⁠
