A successful woman was asked to share her secret of success. She smiled and said "I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters. I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me...I stopped fighting with my in laws...I stopped fighting for attention...I stopped fighting to meet public expectation of me...I stopped fighting for my rights with stupid people..I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight...And I started fighting for my vision, my dreams, my ideas and my destiny.
