I attempt an arduous task; but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.

When it comes to social consequences, they've got all different people acting in different ways, very difficult to even have a proper criterion of success. So, it's a difficult task.

Attempt easy tasks as if they were difficult, and difficult as if they were easy; in the one case that confidence may not fall asleep, in the other that it may not be dismayed.

Excellent Path
A path of excellence flows through the life,
An infant asks what we learn for the path;
One man is better at the task than another
For all have tasks that are arduous, that back break.
Infancy is a prize and we carefully count
Their years for all to hear; the hearing is complete.
Excel for them, each will gain their respite,
One man is better at the task than another.
May we fluently speak for our throats,
The throat enables our deliberate thoughts of precision.
The real sages recite the verses of poetry
And write their own prose for all infants to read.

It Is Always Difficult To Begin The Week
IT IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO BEGIN THE WEEK
It is always difficult to begin the week
One's body is lost in a previous sleep
One's mind is still held down and back
Into resting -
The world is bleak
It is empty and difficult
I am empty inside
I have nothing to do
I have too much to do-
Still I must begin
I will do the usual routine assignments
Slowly I will get back into the motion and mind of my work
I am already trying now-
Even a small effort should bring forth suggestions for further effort
It will take time
Slowly I will find the way
From task to task
Into the real work -
Somehow the week will begin again
It always does-
Though now I am still slow and not there yet
I feel as if in writing this
I have somehow already begun to work again-

On receiving from the people the sacred trust twice confided on my illustrious predecessor, and which he has discharged so faithfully and so well, I know that I can not expect to perform the arduous task with equal ability and success.

Mind my heart
Oh it's so difficult
to love the frugal
the heart
locked in the mind.
Oh it's so difficult
to praise the modest
the heart
locked in the mind
Oh it's so difficult
to love those who hate themselves
Oh it's so difficult
to bring joy to the suicidal
but worth a try

Whatever I do, I attempt to do it fully. I try, and don't always succeed, to be thorough. There are musicians who do not know their worth, and if they knew it at one time, it has eluded them. I know my worth. You try not to dwell in the past.

The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticize work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities — all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness.

What's so difficult,
About the word,
No.
What's so difficult,
About our,

What's so difficult,

What's so difficult,
About the words,
Stay away.
What's so difficult,

Achiever
I acknowledge the outcome of efforts
May be it is possible with little support
In case of no moral support what it could be?
Will it be considered as downfall of big tree?
Person who is seized with problems may excel
In adverse situation he or she may stand and prevail
Loss or bad luck can be changed into favour and gain
Less sweat even when efforts fail and go into drain
Person who succeeds is called achiever
Not necessarily he should be firm believer
Should act as master of events and healer
Nothing alters path as ……………….
What are the essential qualities of person?
Should he be master player in all the seasons?
Who can turn the tide and steer the course
Not loosing hope while facing the remorse
Be attentive to others and good listener too
Neither impose will not attempt to woo
Success may have its own way and story
Praises from all thus adding to glory
It’s very hard to pursue goal in adversity
Nothing comes true if you go with simplicity
Bold approach with strong resolve and good quality
Ultimately may earn you respect without any pity
Even what seems to be a difficult task?
Will be made easy and no one may ask
You will have your own way of dealing
Enough energy if required for wound healing
Achievement is entirely due to dedication and zeal
No one can steal the show or put the seal
At the end of journey, luck may smile
Pain may subside even when you walk for while

Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.

Times Of Transition
times of transition
are painful difficult
saying too much
saying not enough
saying the wrong thing
or even the right thing
at the wrong time
even without trying
we are changing
as life
circumstances
change us
an attempt
to become
our greatest
potential
is a course
we must chart
ever
attempt
to follow
Inspired by the poem ‘I’ll Change for You’ by dave alan walker.
