A solution has been revealed to No Man” " There are three ways to defeat your enemy. The first, and most obvious, is to better him in a trial of force. The best way is to have him destroy himself; few enemies are so obliging. The middle way is to destroy your enemy from within. Judicious application of the middle way shall make your blows more effective if you later take the way of force. From the middle way it is also possible to push your enemy onto the path of self-destruction. " " Even the greatest of trees can rot from within, but the vigilant gardener keeps attentive to the signs of decay. The Gardener is not afraid to cut through the polished skin to tear away a malignant heart, to save the life of that tree. Those who seek shade under that tree would best remember the work of that gardener. " -

My Favourite Quotes/ my Modded Quotes

Every person has a favourite Quotes, which some uses as ideals, or some use as mottos or some use just for fun. Here, i am listing out my favourite quotes - 'Then hear this, and never forget it. Any fool with fast hands can take a tiger by the balls, but it takes a hero to keep on squeezing. I'll tell you something else, while I'm at it: only heroes and quitters walk away, Jack. No one else. And I am no quitter.' -Alexis Machine -in Machine's Way - From the Stephen King novel "The Dark half" [ Seriously, I still wish that Stephen King or someone else would develop this Alexis Machine Character -into sorts of an Anti-Hero just like Dexter ] I modify the quotes into my own quotes. The above quote got turned into - "Any Fool Can Catch a tiger By its balls, Any man Can keep on Squeezing!

How I read, Why I read and What I read

I have been away from Blogging for a quite a long while. Now I am back, free from the mad rush at my construction site, since the project is slowing down towards completion. Now, I got more free time. How I read, Why I read and What I read HOW I READ I am an avid reader – I read so voraciously with my own technique that I read 2 or 3 books at a go.

Even while I eat, I read – I read a book, if one is in my hand or at my hands reach / I read the labels of
