{"quotes":[{"text":"Yes I have done it all. Tested the shallow waters, swam through the dangerous tides, met strangers, seen friends turn strangers, taken risks to achieve my goals, persevered to out do myself each time, rose high, fell hard, learned to climb, learned to dream and in dreaming learned to relate to reality. I have earned respect, achieved things very young, believed in my potential, questioned it too but through it all I have never stopped to aspire. I am a human and I must adapt to the changing seasons, learn new skills and master them all. Now as I stand and look up, I see a heap of laurels yet to achieve and chest of mysteries yet to resolve. I am not one in the crowd. I'll forever be the one whom they could never be.","author":"Adhish Mazumder","tags":["inspirational","motivational","one-in-the-crowd","self-motivation","self-motivation","standing-out","uniqueness"],"id":44853,"author_id":"Adhish+Mazumder"},{"text":"There is this one thing that makes a big difference: creativity!
