Be What You are

Trying to copy others will land you in trouble. Even your life will be at peril.

A Sparrow cannot become an Eagle even if it flies high.But risk of being shot by an arrow is more.

A Dog can never be a Tiger even if it wears the skin of Tiger. 

Like wise, by having a stethoscope, you cannot become a Doctor.

Neither a Black gown wouldn't make you a Lawyer.

The list is endless.

The consequences of assuming the role of others are several and severe.

Each person has an individuality which needs to be polished and maintained.

Simple truth is this.

Remain what you are and Not as What are you not.

Never Give up

No sincere person will face defeats:surely that person  is on the road of fortune.

These are the guiding words from Lord Krishna found in Bhagavad Gita.

Like Sun rising after gloom of night and Rain pours after summer, success is bound to  follow your defeats.

So never give up till you succeed.

Turn Failure into Success

Every situation throws up winners as well as losers. 

However with a change in your attitude, defeat can be turned into victory.

The world is full of examples of people who were once called as failure and flops but they persisted and proved to become legends.

Never feel crest fallen when you face failures.

Failures actually serve to look back and gain experience and insight for future success.

There is no history of continuous failures. 

Believe it. 

You are sure to taste success after any number of failures. 

Light shines surely after a dark-filled tunnel.

Live like a Lotus

Just as a lotus remains untouched by the water even when lying in that water, a person who works without any attachment towards the fruits of his actions and further assigns them to God, always remains untouched by evil."

- Lord Krishna in " Bhagavad Gita"

This means we should swim the ocean of life without being drowned in it.
But by remembering the Almighty all the time.

That is the best and only way to Salvation.

Get Rid of Pride

Truth is omnipresent but we fail to realize it through our conscious efforts.

Listen to what Lord Krishna says in  the Bhagavad Gita

"I encompass this entire creation in my invisible form. All creatures depend on me, but I am not dependent on them. 

And yet they do not live in me. 

While I am the maintainer and the source of them, my Self is not contained in them.

Just as the wind  found in the sky, blows everywhere, so are all beings found in me."

Never take credit for your works but to God.

Never get carried that nobody knows your silent and secret actions.

There is one Overseer for your life. Anywhere. Anytime.

Instant Rich

A Man became the richest person in the world for one day.

The reason is PayPal credited his account with USD 92,233,720,368,547,800!!!

All due to a technical error.But few hours later, PayPal sent a zero-balance message.

What would have been the reaction of that man.

Balance your Mind & Heart

Many a times our mind and heart are at loggerheads.

Mind always deals with materialistic world whereas Heart with emotional aspects.

Only with constant practice and determination, these can be kept under control.

Meditation soothes both mind and heart and enables a person to regain his mental power.

Generally , the word Teacher is used to refer to the person who works in a school.

No. The term " Teacher" has a broad meaning.

Website, Newspaper, Magazine, Book, Neighbour in any place, Bird, Animal, etc..

Problem with traffic in Chennai is that everybody knows the rules but nobody wants to follow them. No respect for the rules and the signals.

Got it. 
Drive with care.

Keep track of your affairs

One lady opened a $1000 a month deposit account and regularly paid the monthly deposit.

But it was only at the time of maturity after 3 years , she realised she had keyed in the wrong account code, making some other person $39000 richer.

Thanks to the data protection, she will never know who received her money.

So better keep track of your transactions: especially financial ones.
This will not make feel sorry for your own silly mistakes.

Remember HIM

You should remember God at all times.

Even if you can't think about Him throughout each day initially,

miss not the three occasions as below.

1. After waking up in the morning, pray " bless me with good day"

2. When eating, thank the god for the good food and everything and also say prayer as " provide me with good sense and love through this food"

3. Before going to sleep, thank Him again for a good day and also seek His grace to retain His thoughts".

- Don't be an obstacle, for reasons of ego or enmity, whenever good actions are done.
- Do not poke your nose into the personal life of others.
- Don't see the negative sides of any good deeds or words
