Lines that gives me booster shots of motivation when I’m down:

1. Screw It, Let’s do it.
2. I think, therefore I’m.
3. Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
4. If your efforts are sincere, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve your GOAL.

Inspiring Personalities:

1. Steve Jobs: For his sheer disdain to the ways technology was used & perused during his times.
2. Bill Gates: For his breadth & depth of vision: After conquering everything in business, he set himself a target of making this world a better & a healthier place.
3. Elon Musk: Perfect example of a technocrat innovator & a hard-core businessman. Look what he is doing in Tesla Motors & SpaceX. Google him & you would be astounded by his range of futuristic projects.
4. Narayan Murthy: Created much more than a company. Middle Class in India still associates pride with getting a job in Infosys. Came back from retirement to steer Infosys back to its glory days.
5. Sachin Tendulkar: Clichéd to say but still can't believe he is human. Genius combined with application turned him to a legend.
