      Dear Sunikunnoth,
      
      I'm assuming you mean inspiration for life and not for hubpages because, my goodness, your score is 100! 
      
      I've used several inspirational quotes to get me through very heart-wrentching life situations which I'll list below.  Following that, I'm posting my favorite, favorite humorous movie clip which is brilliant in that it contains a great deal of wisdom about letting go.
      
      My favorite quotes:
      "He who has a 'why' to his existence can bear with almost any 'how'.  Neitzsche
      "I'm not afraid of storms for I'm learning to sail my ship.'  Louisa Mae Alcott
      "Life breaks everyone, and many are strong in the broken places."
      
      Of course the poem, "If," by Kipling is filled with inspirational thoughts.
      
      But for a little comic relief from the stress of striving for perfection is this clip.  I hope you know the movie so that the context of the plot makes it even more meaningful:

      We're all just walking around not really knowing what we're doing, Suni.  All we can do is hold each others' hands and help each other out. Your articles seem as if that's what you do very well.
      
      Cheers,
      
      Billie

            That's one of my favorite's too, Beth.  And Beth is my daughter's name also Is that your art?  I can't read what's below Lousia Mae Alcott.  Wait a minute does that say "Mae" 'cuz I believe that's her middle name.  Anyway - it's a GREAT quote

               No, it's just something I downloaded a while back... how funny, I never noticed the misspelling. I like inspirational quotes, I use a lot of them for my FB cover pic.

      Anyway there's no such thing as failing, all there ever is is: Finding out that what you was learning/trying etc, wasn't isn't for you....Find what you would love to do in life, & you can't fail....So failing is only steering you to that thing, the thing you really want/need in life....So see you failings as learning curves, & never beat yourself up over them (as long as you LEARN from them)....I expect to fail at everything i do in life, until i find the "right" things.....As i find the "right" things, i stop failing at those things & so on.....If your feeling low a lot of the time then get back to basics, your health/fitness/finances etc.....Those are your foundations, & you have to keep them strong....It's like Bruce Lee said: "if your always ready, you don't have to get ready", so you stay strong & fit etc ready for anything....You don't know what's just around the corner, & it might be great you never know....So get ready, & have faith that if you do, it will come. :-)

   Once You're Round The Bend
   
   by Patience Strong
   
   Something unexpected may be around the bend.
   
   Something to encourage you, a lift, a gift, a friend...
   
   Something that will strengthen you to face the road ahead-
   
   Spurring you along upon the pathway that you tread.
   
   Do not halt or waver. Go forward. Keep straight on.
   
   Even if the reason for confidence is gone-
   
   Just go on believing that things are on the mend.
   
   Life may look quite different, once you're round the bend.

   sunilkunnoth2012, your best growth will come from the challenge of your perceived failure. The discomfort will not last for long. Do not let temporary transition take away all of your confidence. Peace to you,

    I like this one by Thoreau. I think it's especially important for writers, to avoid discouragement if their message is not well received.
