Donate to help others even after your death

If you have the will to help others , you will definitely do it. By leaving a Will for a public cause.

There are many ways to achieve the above purpose.

- create a Trust and donate your estate or money to it . Let the trust provide aids, assistance or free logistics to needy people and for worthwhile causes. This is what many rich people and reputed companies do.

-  contribute  your funds to the educational and social welfare institutions like a Corpus fund . Tell the institutions to pay rewards or scholarships to the poor and needy wards. Many individual philanthropists follow this method as they lack time and people to manage trusts.

-  gift your body organs like eyes, kidneys, heart ...even skin to the organ banks or hospitals . Such institutions will remove the organs upon your death and use them to help those needing badly. Any person can easily adopt this route.

- donating one's body makes you a noble person. One popular and living actor in Tamilnadu has offered  his body to a medical college to enable the students learn the anatomy.

So go for it. Donate whatever is possible. 

Google and register your wish but keep your family informed .

Whose money, any way ?

Many governments want to stay in power by spending huge money for waiving the debts that are owed by farmers, students,etc...  This is a ruse to seek the support of those people forming the majority of vote banks.

But what these so-called power mongers fail to understand are the implications of such populist schemes. Why they should bother any way. After all it's no their money....only the public exchequer to worry.

The after effects of such waivers are

-  drain of valuable resources that would have been otherwise invested in some long term and     productive uses like creation of community assets like water tanks, school buildings and infrastructures such as roads, bridges,etc...

-  strain on the tax payers who are usually burdened with additional and new taxes

-  corruption of minds of the honest repayers to default in future

-   creations of impression that govt will come out with waiver program and no need to repay any loan
- business of banks and financial institutions are affected in the long term due to poor credit culture and risk-aversion of banks to lend more.

Really a bad precedent ...by the law makers . Then how the citizens will abide by the laws passed by them.

Respect Your Elders

 Everybody including every life form will become elder as they grow older. This is universal law applicable to even the god stepping into the universe through the reincarnation route. 

One survey in India found that elderly citizens face humiliation in many different ways of abuse.

Women among them are reported to be more affected. 

Usual types of abuse are verbal abuse, disrespect and economic exploitation. Not providing food and timely care remain to be the common complaints of abuse. 

Daughter-in-laws constitute the major perpetrators of this abuse. 

There are many people who never visited their elderly parents for years together: not even bothered to know whether they are alive. But they call on the parents when they face financial or physical discomforts. Still worse, some children, aged above 50 years, complain that they wouldn't  mind their elders because the latter is of no use.

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

Better be aware  and respect your elders.

Failure causes Success

Success of today is the fruit borne from the failures of yesterday.
Without failure, success will never be felt. Like happiness felt after sorrows.

Failure becomes meaningful for a genius who possesses patience.
Hastiness without efforts and hard work, nobody can reap success.
Mulberry cannot wish to grow as silk bypassing the work and time of the moth .

So have faith in the persistent efforts and time to taste your success.
