Quote by N. R. Narayana Murthy

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But, nothing is as pai

Summary

This quote emphasizes that although growth and change can be uncomfortable and cause pain, remaining stagnant in a place or situation where one doesn't belong is even more agonizing. It suggests that the pain of staying stuck and not pursuing personal development or finding one's true calling outweighs the temporary pain and difficulties associated with growth and change. Thus, it encourages individuals to have the courage to embrace change, despite its discomfort, in order to avoid the greater pain of remaining trapped in an incompatible state.

I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.

I was brought up by a single mom in a poor town in Arkansas and while some aspects of small-town life were really positive - like the fact that everyone there is really sweet and hospitable - there is also this close-minded mentality, and that naturally made me want to rebel.
