Aim High

Think big and act boldly. Aim high and dream big! Small desire produces small results, just as a small fire produces little heat.

Some cool quotes on this concept:

"Fortune favors the bold but abandons the timid." -Latin Proverb

"When you think big, your results are big." -Thomas J. Vilord

"The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore." -Dale Carnegie

"Seize this very minute! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." -John Aster

War not Human nature

New study of tribal societies finds warfare not innate concept but a recent phenomenon invented by so called 'Civilised' societies.

Researchers found that some of the most 'primitive' people on Earth were actually quite peaceful compared to modern nations.

What doe the above indicate ?

Education and Development have corrupted human societies resulting in greed and conflicts.

Merit

Favouritism and Nepotism are the products of our greed for money and power.

People corrupt the otherwise clean system to serve their selfish needs. More damage is done by the politicians with ulterior motive.

That is why undeserving and incompetent people come to occupy many vital posts of any organisation, be it private or public.

In short, Incompetent people are made Competent Authorities.

The outcome is the permanent collapse of the administration resulting in chaos and loss to the general public.

Trap

A group of five men set up a trap to get deer for food when they were looking for rare wood that is used in making incense and perfume.

Accidentally a tiger hub got into to the trap. This irritated five tigers in the area to attack the men.

Fearing the angry tigers, these men climbed the nearby tree. But one met with the fate by falling from the broken tree branch.The terrible tigers mauled him to death.

However, other four men remained on top of the tree without food but survived through rainwater. However, the tigers waited below the tree.

Later the animals were chased away by the rescue team to save the fortunate four men who starved to almost death.

MORAL : Never venture into others territory for the sake of greed to make money or power.

Foot

Each and everything has a beginning or a base.

-Foundation to a Building
-Root to a Tree
-Ancestor to a Person
-Capital to a Business
-Character to a Behaviour
-Origin to a River

Likewise your feet remains the fundamental for your growth .
Because , it bears all your weight and toil.

Take care of your feet.

Rules

Rules must remain to rule the constituents or players but not to rule out the very existence of the players.

Too much always spoils anything.

If you set rules for each and everything, nobody will like you.

Rules should be heathy to motivate the subjects to take interest.

Then only, growth and development is possible.

If you put more conditions for your child to grow, he will never like to grow.

Some countries have a complex system of regulations which actually create a non-positive climate for any new investment or trade to flourish.

Guts

Talents alone cannot get you success. You should have efforts and guts to perform.

Many a person fall in the first category. That's why they miserably fail.

To put it differently , those who have grit and determination turned out to be great Achievers in life.

Steve Job of Apple has once said"One who has courage to follow his heart will succeed".

Sincerity Pays

Sathasivam is from a family of farmers.
His father and two brothers are farmers.
His two sisters are also married to farmers.

Sathasivam would work with his father in the farm during morning and evening during his school days.

His youger brother studied engineering but Sathasivam advised him to take up organic farming.
Sathasivam will join this brother after retirement.

Do You know who is this Sathasivam ?

Mr Sathasivam has recently taken charge of the top post of jurisprudence.

He is the 40th Cheif Justice of India. 

Spitting in Public places ?

Beware People of London district.  

London authorities are planning to ban the spitting in public places?
That doesn't mean you can spit in any other place.

Spitting in other than public places is to be decided by the people and it's left to their discretion.

But good and thoughtful would never spit or smoke or drink in any public places.

Rare Life

Life is rare
Live with care.

That's the beautiful slogan I noticed in a residential construction site.
Actually it is intended for the safety of the people working in the site.

I feel it's the value ridden slogan to understand how precious is our life.

Let us live,care and help others to live in peace and joy.

Plants talk

Plants and trees have life like us.
They talk and grow like us.
Their life is visible in the form of growth and their wilting when soil or air becomes dry due to
heat . They like sunlight very much as their bending and creeping towards the sunlight confirms.

They also talk secretly.
Research study in China has found that when a tomato plant gets infected with leaf blight( a condition where the leaves wear a charred and dry appearance), nearby plants start activating genes that help ward off the infection.This occurred even if all airflow between the plants has been eliminated.

So treat every grass,plants and trees with love and care.

What Bhagvadgita says about Mind

Warrior Arjuna said: O God, the mind is an unsteady thing.Hence it is unrealistic to expect evenness out of it. It is easier to control the wind than to try controlling the mind. I how to exercise control over it?.

The Lord Krishna said: No doubt, the unsteady mind is difficult to control. However, it can be done so by repeated practice and detachment from the environ".

Cleanliness

Nobody likes a filthy and shabby place.
Similarly, goodness will come to us only when we get rid of the undesirable habits like anger, greed ,revenge, bluff,etc...

Our mind becomes godly when we possess clean and true habits.

God resides in you once the purity and sacrifice enter into the mind.

Prayer

Prayers are meant for claiming welfare .

But many people behave selfishly in this respect as they pray for fulfilment of their self interest like success in studies, winning contracts and deals and for good Heath and wealth.

Community Prayers are done for the welfare of an individual or the society.

Rarely ,very few individuals like Saints and Religious leaders pray for the welfare of others or the communities.

Why an individual should do the prayer for the welfare of all life forms that exist on the earth.
This will make us a Broad-minded person without selfishness. Ultimately this will breed fraternity and peace for all of us.

Air Pollution

WHO estimates say air pollution is responsible for over a million premature deaths worldwide every year.

Short-term exposure to major air pollutants seems to increase heart failure risks

This is the finding from a review of data collected in 12 countries published in The Lancet Wednesday, a medical journal.

The study found that a modest dip in the levels of fine particulate matter found in exhaust fumes and industrial air pollutants could prevent about 8000 heart failure hospitalisation s and save more than $300 million in the US alone.

Scared of the above list ,then you name it as Listophobhia.

Perception

Light has no colour.
But when seen through a prism or water drop, different colours are exhibited.
So it the interference that makes the difference.
Likewise, God is one but the different religions create the unwanted hatred and discrimination.

One who realises this truth is bound to love everything in this world.

Fat Popualtion

The Fattest countries in the world are measured as the percentage of obese adults to the country population.

1. Mexico  - 32.8%

2.  USA    -  31.8%

3.  Syria    -  31.6%

And the Thinnest country is Japan with 4.5%

12% of the World's total population is obese.

This is based on the latest UN report.

Whose mistake anyway ?

This is an interesting news item I read recently.

A goose was arrested for "pecking people".
Because a woman made a complaint with the local police that the goose had attacked her five-year old daughter and the animal was terrorising the neighbourhood.

But Animal rights activists were outraged and demanded immediate release of the bird and an inquiry into this.

Might be the animal behaved in its own natural way in contrast to human beings system.
A simple case of misunderstanding of the animal's mind.

Wimbledon

The name has become synonymous of the sport Tennis.

Such a legacy surrounds this British place.

It has produced many champions belonging to other nations.

But the sheer handwork and grit of Andy Murray earned him the coveted Grand slam .

That too after a very long gap of 77 years, he won the championship for England.

Salute the dedication of this sportsman.

Great works never go unrewarded though belatedly.

Under estimate

Each and everything in our world is useful in one way or other.

So do not underestimate anything.

Even a small grass serves as the feed for small worm and insects.Also it binds the earth.
The tiny prickle or needle helps us to stitch the cloth or button.
Slimy earthworm protects and enriches our earth : in turn, other life forms including us.

Even your enemy not to be undervalued .

Give and take value from everything that is around you.

Eat Fresh

Use fresh water, vegetables and other food . That too, locally available food is the best for our healthy life.

Shun the processed and canned foods or drinks to the possible extent.
Because, the stored and frozen food always undergoes the chemical changes and become unfit for consumption.

Remember, Technology always comes with a cost.
That's why organic farming and its products are advocated of late.

Food

Never waste the precious food. There are millions of people starving for even little food.

About 1.3 billions tons of food are wasted every year.
According to Food & Agriculture Organisation(FAO), more than 20000 children under. To age of five, die from hunger everyday. One in every seven people in the world remains hungry each day.

So, please Think, Eat and Save. This is the theme of World Environment Day on 5th June 2013.

Smart Way

Food carriers, popularly known as Dabbawalas of Mumbai, India have a smart way of serving the people for peace and happiness.

About 120 tons of food is transported every day by these Dabbawalas but 16 tons of this food is wasted on a day.

Smart is the Dabbawalas Foundation who came up with the unique concept of "share my dabba". Those who have left over food in their lunch boxes can simply paste a red "Share" sticker on their dabba.

Once segregated based on red mark, the food left over in the dabbas is passed on to the volunteers who feed 2 lake hungry children in Mumbai.

Punctuality

Punctuality is alright but not at the cost of other's inconvenience and happiness.

It's better to be late than never. Speaks out and express rather than feeling sorry later. Consulting a doctor even after the disease is better instead of suffering infinitely.

Again better to be late than to be Mr/Ms.Late.
Driving rashly to reach in time is a foolish act.

Life is precious when compared to time.
Happiness is more important to a person whose life is nearing end

Gratitude

Never hesitate to thank when anybody helps irrespective of the value of such help.

Similarly, thank for what you get and what you have.

Never grieve for that you couldn't get .

Also do not complain about the problems .Rather find ways to resolve them.

Be liberal for praising and thanking anybody for encouraging the positive aspects of life.

Rest

Many of us think that keeping away from the routine means "Rest".

Absolutely not.

When we do our work at a constant level without excitement and stress, we tend to feel good and healthy. Which means that whenever difficult circumstance arise, we should keep going without getting affected by them.

It's easier said than done. But practice and perseverance can make you understand this.

Have you wondered " How our heart works without any rest" . The secret is "steadiness and calmness " during the work.

Language

Language is an important aspect of self-expression or presentation.
People who use it to their advantage have become successful.

Be it writing or talking, you can express your viewpoints in a pleasant and concise manner instead of being hard and boring way.

The listener or reader should yearn for more from rather than ignoring you.

Internet for All

Project Loon is a research and development project being developed by Google with the mission of providing Internet access to rural and remote areas using high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 20 km to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds.

The balloons are maneuvered by adjusting their altitude to float to a wind layer after identifying the wind layer with the desired speed and direction using wind data. Users of the service connect to the balloon network using a special Internet antenna attached to their building. The signal bounces from balloon to balloon, then to a ground-based station connected to an ISP, then onto the global Internet.

The system aims to bring Internet access to remote and rural areas poorly served by existing provisions, and to improve communication during natural disasters to affected regions.

Veg Egg

Substitute for chicken eggs is under development, a US company has reported.
Veg Egg is being produced from plant products.

Good news for veggies.

Apps

According to a new study, Smartphone apps help users save 88 minutes in a day or 22 days a year.

Email apps were the most frequently used apps, followed by text and social networking apps.

Mistake

Many people have the tendency to blow up even the small mistakes of others. This is more so, if the other person is an enemy.

But it's wrong to view the mistakes only by totally ignoring the good actions of the same person.

This is akin to a small black dot in a white cloth, always attracting our attention and condemning the cloth itself as dirty.

So always weigh out the good and bad of a person to decide about that person's character.

Optimists always see the good sides.
Opportunists are interested in bad sides of anything.

Truth

If you rely on truth in life, you are moving towards God.

Because, truth always wins ultimately.

Fire will hurt even when it is touched in a secret place.

Many people behave to be over smart but betraying their own selves.

Sleep

Sleep recharges our body and mind. But it's a state of temporary death as we do not sense anything while in sleep mode.

Death is a state of permanent sleep for our body and according to Hinduism, it is the process by which the soul or spirit changes the body through the next brith.

Save for Needy

Think...Eat...Save.

This is the theme of World ENvoronment Day celebrated today5/6/2013.

Let us not waste the precious food when many people all over the world go hungry.
It will save the valuable resources for the future generations also.

Free way

All fields in our life are fraught with stiff and cutthroat competition .

But religion unites them all when striving to reach God .

Again among the religions, all members aim for the Ultimate only without any fight and competition.

Love and affection are the mainstay of life before and after death.

Foundation

The hidden basement of any building protects the visible superstructure against all weather conditions.

Similarly, the god also hidden within you is the saviour of your exterior self: He lives, guides and protects if you rely on him.

But those who ignore that Him fail to succeed in life.

Cancer

When detected in early stage, Cancer is curable.
There are many people who live happily after treatment.
Moreover, if needed, one should better go for removal of the cancerous portion of the body.

Recently, One popular actress has declared that mastectomy was performed to remove her breasts as treatment of cancer.

When life is important than the organs of body, discarding the diseased organ or portion is advisable.

No Tobacco Day

31st May is the No Tobacco Day.

Shun that material unless required for medicinal purpose.

Chewers and Smokers Beware. Stop it.

Better late than Never to protect you and family.

Glamour

Flowers add glamour to anything that possess them .
Be it Nature, Wall, Humans..

Gorgeous

Flowers beautify their possessors.

Social Blood

This is the online site to connect the blood givers and takers.

Really a wonderful idea of 24 year old and Bangalore based Karthik Naralasetty who is the founder of this social web to help those who need blood badly.

Truth

Hindu saint Sri Ramakrishna said
"The substance is One under different names, and every one is seeking the same substance.Let each man follow his own path.If he sincerely and ardently wishes to know God, peace be unto him!"

This is what a scientist, a philosopher and all other self made individuals are doing: to find the truth.

Paradox

Human being is a paradox. Though behave to be intelligent, always end up in none.

Fully aware that nothing will accompany a person after death, make all the toil and show to accumulate wealth and power.

But only the deeds speak about the individual after his/her death.

Sacrifice

Without sacrifice, life is a Big Zero.

Everyone makes the sacrfice in life to benefit others.

Big Bridges, Roads, Railways, etc are impossible without the sacrifice by many invisble hands.

But Mother, of living creatures,  is the greteast of all to do that magnanimous act as she alone and she only is respnsible for the growth and happiness of all life.

After Death

Burial is better than cremation.

Because our body will become the feeding  ground of many that live on and under the earth.

While the corpse is burned, nothing benefits out of it.
Moreover burning leaves the earth poorer by many bucks as fuel and electricity are wasted.

So Burial of dead body is nore advantageous.

Let us be beneficial after death also.

Leader

Leader should have mainly the qualities of Patience, Tolerance and Sacrifice.

Leader should be a good reader of men and matter.

Leader should keep abreast of latest developents.

Leader should share with the followers.

Small Help

Even a stone lying on the road would be a potential stumble for the travellers.
By removing that stone to the side of the road, you can help others .

Similarly, by donating the unused books and other junk items to the charitable institutions, you can help others.

Never think that helping others directly is the only way, you can contribute to the society.

Any small contribution is a Help only.

Eye-for-Eye

Return without favour is called as"Tit for Tat". Also as Eye-for -Eye reaction.

Taking revenge for rude treatment also refers to the same idiom.

But never do that as such actions and reactions never end but in sorrows and lamentations.

Better take any bad treatments or misbevaviour in a casual way and ignore them.
Such attitude makes the other person to stop doing such things.

Non-violence concept of Mahatma Gandhi is purely based on this idea only.

Violence cannot be the reply for violence.
Only through peace and remaining silent, your opponent can be defeated and won over.

Silence is the best form of sound and weapon too.

Profession

Any profession is good : Tailor or Sweeper or Prime Minister .

It's not the Post or Designation that matters most but the true involvement and dedication in tour profession. For that matter, even the education or qualification are no obstacles.

Dignity of labor comes not from outside, but from within you.

This mindset only made many good and rich people.

That is how the popular saying " Hard work is the shortcut to Success" has come about.

Mothers Day

True Love and Affection only lead to great Sacrifices.

Mother is the embodiment of Love and Affection only.Living example for making happy life.

Every life form on the earth has a mother. 

Watch National Geographic or Discovery Channels to appreciate and feel the goodness of a Mother.

You can also be a Mother if share true love and affection

Parampada

That individual who remembers the God even during the death  is sure to reach Him which is called as ‘Parampada' or "Source".

Similarly, the individual will take the form of that which he thinks during the last breath .

Therefore, a person must think and talk about the God and His grace. With such dedicated mind and intelligence , you will  attain the feet of God undoubtedly.

Undistracted meditation  focusing on God is sure to take you to the divinity.

Such devoted person is able control his mind and  body with the powers of yoga  to remain blessed by God .

Therefore make use of the priceless human birth and make selfless service to other s with pure devotion towards God to get rid of the rebirth and attain Paramapada.

From Bhagvadgita
