Quote by ENOCH ONOUHA *Wisdom is not taught, it is caught* .

Sagacious. Wise. Erudite. Knowledgeable . Astute. Having good judgement. Achievers have the ability to see the big picture. They view the whole & not the parts.  They allocate time to think & develop a vision. They  then ask the questions, they know not  only how and what to do………but knowing why which is very essential. They formulate goals , bring unique perspective &  identify actionable steps. This helps them translating  the vision . Naturally they are the winners . Yuri Milner is such exceptional achiever who is able to think beyond . Yuri has been an investor in most prominent startups ; Facebook, Zynga, Twitter, XIOMI, Alibaba as well as well known Indian startups( Flipkart & Ola ). YURI is well known across the world as one of the most influential internet entrepreneurs.  His investments have been very well timed & have resulted in a fortune for his company.  YURI MILNER has now joined hands ( during July 15) with famous physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking to find alien life through their initiative; *Breakthrough listen* . No wonder , Yuri sums up his philosophy as follows by  quoting  * I am just focused on exploring new opportunities*  

Quote by Fred DeVito * If It does not challenge you, it doesn"t change you. *

Challenge. Face. Brave. Valiant. Heroic. Champion. Achievers continuously have to face challenges in life. Serena Williams is one such achiever who has risen like a Phoenix from very humble background. Racism, belonging to deprived class in USA, facing insinuation that she is a male…..Serena has encountered it all. Also, when Serena begun playing lawn tennis, her illustrious sister Venus used to hog limelight. However, Serena kept on improving her game & has blossomed as among the best 5 female tennis players of all time. Off late she has been easily surpassing all opponents. Serena  has now won 21 GRAND SLAM titles in LAWN TENNIS ( as on 15-7-15 ).  Now , Serena is all time third on this list of highest number of grand slam titles. No women player in recent times has dominated tennis like Serena. Her consistency & mental toughness is amazing at the age of  33. Serena’s power game, athleticism and skills have fascinated the tennis commentators as well as fans.  Serena’s attitude and aggressiveness adds to her persona.  No wonder, winning has become a habit for her.  Despite fitness concerns of late, Serena has continuously won big tournaments with ease. Serena Williams sums up her winning theory in the quote *When you lose, you get up, you make it better, You try again *
