Go Green

Development at the cost of our own life.
Indiscriminate Felling of trees for all our needs has led to the present situation of climatic changes and slow down of our life itself.
We should plant more trees around our households to reduce the snow balling effects of erosion of green cover.
A recent picture found in Facebook has made this point loud and clear.

Why People Behave in a Casual way ?

Many people live in a very casual way: only caring for those things that make them temporarily happy but ignoring those aspects of life which make them live longer and happy.

I know an elderly friend of mine.

He has the habit of keeping the cosmetics for his make up when going on a tour.

Whenever gets minor illness like cold or headache,  he will seek the help of the attendants of the hotel that he stays in. If no medicine or assistance is available, he will start abusing the hotel staff, complain about the poor facilities in that place and even he would think of vacating the otherwise-good hotel for this trivial reason.

If  the basic medicines are kept with him, the above situation could be managed easily.

Never blame others for your casualness.

Two old persons

I have two elderly persons as my office colleagues.

Both are aged around 61 years but they retired from two different banks as Managers.

But they are of contrasting character.

One is very fast and sharp in making decisions. Naturally, he is active in all aspects including the basics to use the internet.  He keeps up with time and  interested in more spare time after work.But he is little bit greedy of money and prefers to make money in all possible ways.Naturally, he tends to undertake the assignments from more than one place. Rare is the occasion to claim by self that he is smart and systematic.

The only reason that this guy quotes for all this hunger for money is " All money is to gladden the grand children of his four daughters.

The other friend is slow in mind and action. Not taking interest in computer, Internet,etc.. Eats a lot but shows less output:spends more time and energy for the same work compared to the time spent by the former. The reason for such low productivity quoted by himself as " systematic and error free method adopted by him". Even for This  man gives lengthy speeches at the fall of every occasion unmindful of the mindset of the audience. But all the times, he would proclaim that he is a straight forward person that's why people use to fear him.

However two things are common for them: Age and Desire to make money.

The former is a man of initiative whilst the latter lacks it.

Let us take the good of both and discard the bad aspects.

In short, lead your life happily  by smart and effective use of all opportunities that come to you for making more value addition to the place where you are. 

Do not waste the precious time for useless talk and actions.

Gratitude

Count the good things in your life and cherish the blessings you got.
Count not the troubles and sufferings

Become a less of a complainer and more of a thanks giver.
Automatically you problems will be managed.

Remembering the good things will make you a positive and joyous person.
Memory of bad things and past problems will ruin your future also.

Talk less

Don't be a talkative person. 

Always speak less which should make the listener to yearn for more.

Do more in actions rather than words. This would instil confidence and give motivation to others.

People of few words achieved more in actions than the talkative .

Silence is still better than few words. Because it saves your energy.

Mania

How many manias are there?
Endless .
You can create a list of your liking by adding the word"mania". 
Example : Mango mania for your interest in mango eating.
                 
Read the list of common phobias given elsewhere in this site.

You just remove the last syllable"phobia" and replace it with "mania".
That's it, you get the different manias or likings of people.

Twins

Our life is full of twins. They are meant to stabilise our life.

Joy and Sorrows.
Hard work and Rest.
Birth and Death.
Day and Night.
Summer and Winter.

These twins always fall in line one after another.

What if one of these two does not occur in this fashion of alternation?

So everything is well set into our environment or Nature.

Prudence

Self Care is the best care.

Whatever be your level of income, use the money ,thus earned judiciously.

The best priority can be as follows.

First, take care of your health: to eat and live happily.
Second, save a portion of the income for emergency.
Last but not the least, save a portion for your family welfare : in the form of investments as housing, gold,etc.

To protect against the effects of inflation and unexpected events like illness and accident,
take life insurance policy, preferably a term plan.

Deep Sea

Waves on sea are a pleasure to watch. But many of us fail to visualise what lies under those waves of water.

Who dives into the sea will see the fish.
Still below that level, snails and conch can be seen.
But who goes deeper to the seabed stands to see the treasures like pearls, mountains, valleys, etc...

Likewise, persons who can understand their potentials that are hidden deep in the minds would make great achievements for the benefit of the entire mankind. Saints, Leaders, Scientists are examples to prove this.

Be Yourself

Many people try to imitate others under the impression of they would get identity and recognition .
Actually, they stand to lose themselves.

Instead they should identify and develop the inherent potential which is unique to them.

To be precise, Discover the power hidden within you.

All great Achievers had this quality in common.

Lord Krishna preached this through Bhagvad Gita as

" One should act according to one's own nature. Even if this appears faulty, this is better than doing something unnatural. Better to die engaged in duties appropriate of one's nature because unnatural work only brings evil and danger to everybody.

Squirrel

This is the only animal which is active and harmless in our world.
Such a naughty but cute creature around us.

If you just watch the activities of a squirrel for a while, definitely you will get inspiration in life.

Independence Day

Independence of Country means equal treatment to all those live in that country.
Independence is about the Inter-dependance among us for collective growth of the society though the improvement of individuals.

Independence will last only if there is awareness about its value and the responsibilities of each person living in the Country.

Let us thank those who sacrificed their lives for our Independence.
Let us preserve this valuable freedom for enhancing the quality of our life.

Fools

Human being is generally called as a Social Animal. But with a anti-social instinct.

Other life forms like insects, animals,etc get satisfaction from what they have .
Home sapiens is always greedy and breeding hate and enmity though pretend to be of helping tendency.

What else you will say about the Strained relationships among many countries. Every time
the political bosses sport a smile during their bilateral meets but nurture enmity secretly.

How to identify the Potential within ....

Write down the strong and weak points of self.
Pick up the strongest as your potential. Improve and polish that strength to become the expert.

For instance, you might be a good singer than a lecturer. Learn the techniques and nuances of singing to upgrade from one level to another which will make you confident and superior in singing faculty.

Mystery

Same material is liquid as water, solid as ice and vapour as stream.
Three states of matter cannot be explained in a better way than this.

Human beings are a bundle made of these three .

Blood is the liquid.
Bones and flesh are the solids.
Soul or life is the vapour.

Better understand these facts to realise the fact that basically everything in nature is one and the same. And try to maintain the equilibrium of life.

No Entry

Entering another person's property or place without right or permission constitutes an encroachment.
But many do not mind the hatred and penalties that they invite in the process.

Will you tolerate if somebody interrupts your viewing of your favourite TV show?
Of course, you will do involuntarily,when the interruptor says these words " Sorry for the disturbance"

Some people have the nasty habit of telephoning during the late night hours....because they don't get sleep....neither wouldn't allow you.

Respect others privacy and liberty. That's the greatest help ever you can do the fellow beings.

Believe it or not...

No ! No!
This is not about the Ridley's TV show.
It's about the belief in God.

Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud.
Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively,fearlessly.

Woody Allen once wrote " To You, I'm an atheist.To God, I'm the loyal opposition."

Only who realised or felt , they would believe in God. But till then, an atheist only.

Electricity in a cable is not believed by a person until he gets shock from it.
That's the feeling or belief in God.

Friendship Day

People always make friends of equal status.

Poor with poor.
Affluents with rich.
Enemies of enemies.
Drunkards with drunkards.
Thieves with thieves.
Passengers with passenger.
Workers with same workers.
Officers with officers.
Scholars seek scholars.
Saints with saints.

Very rarely, people of unequal status become friends.
Such relationship is either short-lived or long-lasting.

But true relationship of mutual trust and help leads to everlasting.
The one for temporal gains will break away sooner than later.

4th August is Friendship Day.
Remember to be a Good friend to even your opponent.
