Education has for its objective the formation of character. It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to. Reach for the stars, even if you have to stand on a cactus. The power of the mind is your power, use it. Don't let it use you. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. God cannot go everywhere. So he created mothers . Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. Winner never quits, Quitter never wins. Every person has a ability to improve the life of some one else. Leadership is not about being nice it’s about being right and being strong. Where there is no risk there can be no pride in achievement and consequently no happiness. Think many ways, but go on one way. VOL.1, ISSUE: 1 Quarterly News Letter of SDMCET December, 2012 Page 33 Quarterly News Letter Of SDMCET, Dharwad.
