We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure.”<br /><br />2. "I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be."<br /><br />3. “There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control."<br /><br />4. "We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves."<br /><br />5. “The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live.”Renewed Sasukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14653890585964399037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387093990671288391.post-46270913779830795722010-06-21T08:28:00.001+08:002010-06-23T08:39:47.743+08:00Ludwig Wittgenstein inspires<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMktLVD_u8W8EX70EoC23Lx1GXZcEYhDQA5c7ApKi8jfr9voeD5o6emvNOdbi0swXsyIwjufQU1pUp6AszeUIYJ0nH0nLikkn4_cwXwrWENf_b7NbmD8mb02lVLJXEAX5xj7nnXm1EAUwu/s1600/ludwigww.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 137px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMktLVD_u8W8EX70EoC23Lx1GXZcEYhDQA5c7ApKi8jfr9voeD5o6emvNOdbi0swXsyIwjufQU1pUp6AszeUIYJ0nH0nLikkn4_cwXwrWENf_b7NbmD8mb02lVLJXEAX5xj7nnXm1EAUwu/s200/ludwigww.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485762262211389586" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);font-size:130%;" >Ludwig Wittgenstein</span> is an Austrian-British philosopher, considered to be one of the greatest of the 20th century.
