“Tag”

I wrote the title Tag in Quotations to denote that this is a Quote Tag. I was tagged by Sandeep to list 5 favourite quotes of mine.

I come across a lot of quotes everyday and most of them are brilliant. So it is really hard to pick just the 5 best out of it and chances are you may know all of them and you would simply comment on it saying I like #3 the best.

So I set on a quest to find new quotes from great minds of the world. I posed them a simple quote of my own and they came up with answers that completes the quote appropriately.

BILL GATES:

Me: “Life is like typing a password, you will not know if it is right until you finish typing.”

Bill Gates: “You will have to press ctrl-alt-del to type and only after you finish typing, you can press the start button.”

WARREN BUFFET:

Me: “Economy is like a cycle tyre. It takes a lot of effort to inflate it with a hand pump, but takes only one nail to puncture it!”

Warren Buffet: “One should nail Economic Inflation, Even if you want to buy a Cycle tyre”.

JERRY SEINFELD:

Me: “Genius is one who can make millions with nothing.”

Jerry Seinfeld: “Genius is one who does nothing with millions and makes Billions.”

MAHATMA GANDHI:

Me: “Experience is like a Haircut Coupon that you get after Shaving your head.”

Mahatma Gandhi: “Experience has to be shared, So it doesn’t go wasted.”

SACHIN TENDULKAR:

Me: “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going and then the going gets tougher!”

Sachin: “You become Tougher from Tough only when you keep going.”

YOURS TRULY:

Someone held a T-shirt in front of me and I was too tempted to Complete it:

T-Shirt: “I was a born genius, Education ruined me.”

Me: “I then gave birth to another genius and now I am planning to ruin her.”

HINDU TEMPLE PRIEST in US:

Finally I stumbled upon a local Hindu Temple Priest (If you are at the Temple, Stumbling upon the priest is 100% likely to happen) and he urged me to ask him a quote so he can try to complete it.

Me: “Even Grass can be a weapon for the Brave” (I just repeated an old Tamil saying in English)

Hindu Temple Priest in US: “Even Eyebrow tweezers can be used to pull the Oil Lamp’s wick.”

I bow to his out of the box innovative thinking and tag the following Five Men, (Should I call it the “Five Man Army”).

Amit, Arvind, Praveen, Rambodoc, Sharad.

    It is an imagination. I found the tweezer by the lamp and I was impressed by putting an innovative use to it.

    Praveen
    wow! beautiful one.
    Thank you :)

    Taker your time. The quote makers have spent a lifetime to say those words, it should be ok if you take a few days.

    BTW did u watch the Hindi Gajini teaser?
    I just saw that on your blog :) very interesting.

    Sometimes people mean to comment and it just happens to become a quote.

    Life is not about doing better than others, It is about doing things that make you feel good.

    Thank you and you proved my point :) Big Seinfeld fan, so I loved writing that too!

    If people wearing the T-shirt read my blog then they will get conscious about it.

    Creation starts from what was destroyed before.

    Amit

    Either the person has to be famous or the quote has to be good. Since I am not the former, I tried my hand at the latter. Thank you :)

    The way to a man’s heart is through the skin, muscle and ribcage
    and the way out of a man’s heart is the same in reverse order. More painful on the way out.
