TRUE VALUE OF LIFE

Image
True Value of Life We face tough times each day testing our skills and creativity when we try to find the true value of life. We are required to make decisions in the positions we hold in life which consequently bring out positive or negative results. You should, therefore, have values to guide you on how you react to things and the ones that govern you on the best path to follow. Life may not have a meaning unless you add some value to it. Let’s discuss the true value of life. We should focus on the things that only make us happy in life. Although they are essential, external measures of success like cars and houses as well as creating more wealth are not the true values of life. You have made mistakes before. We all have since no one is perfect. How you handle the past depends on what your future may look like. You should avoid regretting and utilize every minute of your life. Do you do things to please others or do you stand for your true self? We should learn to be conf...

Failure

Most people fail at some point in their lives. It’s a necessary and fundamental part of life. People have to generally fail at something before they find success – even though failure can be defined as a lack of  success , an unsuccessful person, enterprise or thing, a lack or deficiency of a desirable quality. But failure is not a means to an end, nor does failure have to give any indication of permanence. What is permanent is not getting started in the first place out of fear of failure. To fail is to fail to hit one’s target, whatever it may be, but it doesn’t prevent one from trying again. A lot of times, a person fails because they failed to adequately prepare for success. This extends to all aspects of life that people want to  improve upon relationships , career-related objectives, and personal achievements. Most people want to a better life, have goals and things they want to do in life. A good deal of time and effort go into preparing for something important – any...

Your Beliefs And Thoughts Impact Your Life

We are so sure of our beliefs,views and opinions . We call it the truth . We say that's how things are . But have we ever examined whether any of this true ? Why or how , are we so sure ?         How do we know that what we think is true ? Right or wrong ,everyone is equally sure . We don't ever doubt our own thinking . Even though we have put in no effort to learn how to think or verify whether what we think is true .      We are so sure what to eat ,what to drink ,how to behave ,which medical cure will work ,what is best for our children,what is the God 's role in our lives ......... The list is endless . The beliefs are strong . But can we say that the application behind the belief is equally strong ?         And what is the result of this sureness ? That our life continues with the same frustrating helplessness. Parts of life never seem to get solved . Our potential is never fully realised . We then attribute it to God ,luck...

If outer peace is golden then inner peace is priceless

Image
 How attain inner peace ?  Reaching at home after a long day’s work, do you request children and others to leave you for a few minutes of silence? Or when there is an argument or when you are in a noisy place, do you wish for moments of silence? But, even when we sit in silence, does the mind often make ‘noise’ by way of thoughts of the whole day such as those of worry, judgement, fear, pain or anger? It is very rare that pleasant and peaceful thoughts arise in our mind that relax us. In those moments, we realise that staying quiet is not the solution. The only solution is to make our mind silent. We play our roles in this physical world through the medium of communication but our original state is one of inner silence. Life is felt as pleasant when the mind learns to think slow and right. A silent mind creates fewer and purer thoughts leading it to experience contentment and peace. Our original home is the metaphysical Soul World (called Param Dham o...

There is a way to find peace in the busy -ness  of your day ; to stop and smell the roses ; to focus on what is truly important in life . The answer lie with in . https://pallavikaplesh.blogspot.com/?m=0    Interesting Story of a   greedy peasant : There was a peasant in India who owned a small plot of land . He lead a life of peace and contentment until one day he began to envy a rich landlord. The more prosperous the landlord grew ,the more the peasant began desiring the same . He started saving his money to buy some land .     When he travelled to see the land ,he found that people living on it led a nomadic life . The peasant brought some gifts for the chief in charge of that territory . The chief thanked him for gifts and said he could have as much land as he could walk around before sunset...

A Winning Attitude To Failure

Image
A winning attitude to failure   There are plenty of people who will tell you that success- in business or in your professional life is often preceded by failure .        Most of us have heard that we need to fail to succeed, because failure is one of the greatest teacher . But what one often  neglects to mention is that what kind of mindset enables you to push yourself to success. 1. Be focused on helping others ; If you look around ,the world's most long lasting and successful companies all focus on offering a solution to our every day problems . Now you don't have to be solving your company 's problem or at the every least ,take the load off your team .  It sounds obvious and yet we all tend to have the "I" syndrome instead of focusing on the people we want to help  .       When you genuinely help others that's when more opportunities for success open up . 2. Know the worth of what you are doing ;  ...

Live Not To Eat ,But Eat To Live

Image
Live Not To Eat ,But Eat To Live      There are two kinds of people in this world : those who live to eat ,and those who eat to live . The former are those who are fond of eating . Eating different kinds of food is their passion . They have endless hunger for food . Whereever  they are,they want something to eat . They have no other pleasure in life . Most of them spend their whole money on food . They are bohemian who believe in dictum :  EAT,DRINK AND BE MERRY , Tomorrow you may be die . No wonder ,such people eat a lot of junk food fizzy drinks and even alcoholic drinks . They think of food all the time . Most of these people are obese ,and suffer from many diseases . As they often do little physical exercise,they lose their health soon .                The other type of people are very choosy and eat only those things which are essential for good health. They take care not to exceed the limit of anything . T...

The Importance Of The Original Thinking

Most of the people are happy and satisfied in imitating others . They do not hesitate in copying the way others speak ,behave or even think . They never think they are unique human beings, having diff identities ,goals and ambition in life . No wonder ,such people fail to rise to the top . Only those who think differently achieve lasting success . It is important to think new ideas and do things differently . New thoughts take civilization forward . Great inventions and discoveries would not have been possible without people who think differently .              CEM joad says: "it is because people think new things that civilization happens ,and to think what is new they noted must also think freely " . Watt and Newton observed things seen by many people ,but they noted something special about those things . Falling apples and boiling kettles were observed by many people before Newton and watt ,but only Newton could arrive at the theory of gravitatio...

Procrastination is the thief of time

Procrastination  means delaying or postponing an action. When we delay or postpone something we waste our precious time . Sometimes we lose a good opportunity and have to suffer  lot . On the individual level if a person delays an action ,he is alone the sufferer . But on the higher level ,if a person in power delays something , the whole society or nation or even the world may have to suffer . The problem is that time once passed cannot be recalled . A thing meant for a particular time lose it's meaning and significance at another time . If you continue to delay studying you will not get through your exams . If you delaying itself is an undesirable act . We should never put off till tomorrow what we can do today .             Promptness in doing an action is important to achieve any worthwhile success . In  Shakespeare's play Hamlet ,the hero delays action against the villian on one or the other excuse ,the result is terrible . Not only d...

First Impression Is Not Always The Best

The line'All that glitters is not gold' occurs in Shakespeare's play 'The  Merchant of Venice '. In the play ,Prince of Morocco is attracted by the glitter of the golden casket and makes his choice ,but loses the hand of fair Portia . The line has since then becomes a proverb . In the simple words ,it refers to the fact that appearances are often deceptive . The seemingly beautiful and attractive object may turn out to be useless and even harmful . It is ,of course ,true that it is human nature to be attracted good and beautiful person and things . Today young boys fall prey to the outward beauty of young girls . The person who marries a beautiful girl , without bothering about her nature and temperament,may have to repent all his life . The same is the case with young girl . A handsome boy may not prove to be a good and faithful husband . It is truly said that a good apple may be rotten at the centre . Similarly ,a person may smile and smile and yet to be a villia...

Merits and demerits of English language

No one can easily deny the obvious merits of English language. In the times of globalization when the world is shrinking ,the need of a common language is imperative. English fulfils this need to a great extent . English is spoken and understood in several countries of the world . In the country like India where there is absence of common Indian language, English fills the gap . It is difficult for a Tamil to converse with Punjabi and Gujarati with a Bengali ,if it were not for English . Hindi is not spoken and understood in North East and south India . It is only through that Indians can express their thoughts ,conduct business and unite hearts across the country . The greatest merit of English language is the we find no difficulty in living in englEng speaking countries. Technical education is easily imported through English . If our engineers, scientist,doctors are successful in West ,the credit goes largely to their English education. Thus English serves as a link among Indians ,a...

Motherly love

A mother is God'manifestation on Earth .she has to undergo a lot of physical suffering  in giving birth to her child ,she suffers for nine long months willingly and smilingly .when the child is born ,she showers all her love on it .she forgets about her own comforts and conveniences.she looks after the needs of her child in the best possible manner .she sacrifices her sleep and rest to take care of her child .in the classic Hindi movie 'Mother India',the mother's struggle to save and rear her children brings tears to my eyes .she fights against every adverse force ,human or natural .Motherly love is totally selfless and ,as enrich Fromm says ,"unconditional".it has two important aspects.first it includes the care and responsibility necessary for preservation of the child's life and it's growth . secondly it makes the child feel that it is good to be born .it instills in the child the love for life . because of these two reasons,the bond between the mo...
