Eleanor Roosevelt once quoted:
               

"Small minds discuss people

Average minds discuss events

Great minds discuss ideas."

According to me, it is true to a great extent.

Sixteen years with two people of the same age group does wonders. 

Siblings-a great audience to perform for and good partners.

living in a family with siblings often leads to varied thoughts and ideologies. And one inevitable event and fact is, discussion over a particular stuff. A discussion both positive and negative.  

Long back when the three of us siblings, got into some kind of discussion over a person or an event, our father used to resolve our conflict quoting the above mentioned words.

For some, 'work hard, be humble', 'Be kind', et cetera might fill the space for the golden words or 'the key'. For me, this is the key and the motivation to live up to. I have always admired my father for having said these words to us. 

I believe, it lifts us up from the shallow and the superficial and takes us to a different depth where similar people are rare but good to find. 

Interests differ, so do thoughts. 
People thus differ from one another. And when we find a person who shares a similar ideology, follows or leads the same path, it's a togetherness worth preserving. 

We aren't great minds yet, but I believe we aren't small as well. 

Reflecting and taking in is the progress. Learning is in the take. 

When the mind shares and reflects, it is growing and developing. It is living.
