About the quote: I first came across this quote in my college library,in some linux book.Though I didn't know who wrote this quote at that time,I really liked it and wrote it down on my college books.I was the only guy who was sticking with linux ,where as all my friends advised me to switch to j2ee/.net platform because thats where jobs are available for it but not linux.
When I told,I'm going to do something project with linux,the reply will be "Linux is OS,what could you possible do with it?".I still remember,the day-before When a company came for campus recruitment,I was doing some linux related on my new desktop.Then one friend commented 'he doesn't need to be prepare for interview,he will get a job with linux :P'.
Next day,I was lucky to meet a linux-enthusiast in my interview panel and 9 students got a job out of 180 students.My name topped that list !:)
Few days later,the same guy who commented a day-before the interview,saw this quote on my book asked 'did you wrote this quote?'.I said,"read it some book". again he insisted 'don't lie,looks like you wrote this'.I replied 'no i didn't'
In my final-year college project,I mentioned thanks for my parents and my guide and 'unknown' person who wrote this quote.
After few years,one of my oss project received foss india awards (www.giis.co.in/LFY.png).I came to know to this quote was actually written by Gandhi.
As for as I'm concern this quote has 3 questions :
What will you do when others ignore you? [are you going to give up?]
What will you do when others laugh at you? [are you going to get discouraged ?]
What will you do when others fight with you? [are you going to quarrel with them? or shut-up & continue your work]
