RP Saini

THERE was a time when senior bureaucrats used to keep wall poster with inspirational quotes written in it. But as social media creeps into the corridors of power, the placement of the quotes is turning soft now. Here, meet this Kolkata-based 1986 batch Indian Forest Service officer and additional principal chief conservator of forests Dr RP Saini who tweets an inspiration quote almost everyday day. Find out how Ravi, as he is fondly called by his friends, attempts to inspire others:

1. Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel, I am a carpenter of my own soul.
2. How will you ever know what kind of dance you're capable of dancing until you actually dance?
3. Listen to the wind, it talks
Listen to the silence, it speaks
Listen to your heart, it knows
4. Sometimes, I need to go off on my own. I'm not sad. I am not angry. I'm just recharging my batteries.
5. Bring on the sunshine for yourself and others by scattering your loveliness, kindness and positivity today.
6. Don't ever let the moods and behaviour of others affect your own sense of well-being.
7. There is never a time and place we are powerless. There are merely times when we forget who we truly are.
8.  Never give up. Go over, go under, or go through. But never give up.
9. The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.
10. As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears.
11. One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder
12. Don't promise when you're happy.
Don't reply when you're angry
And don't decide when you're sad
13. Use your smile to change this world
Don't let this world change your smile
