Don't miss a chance...


Somehow I have developed this habit of seeing at least one inspirational quote everyday online and I went on searching for it. There I found this one of the insightful quotes and which made me feel to express something about it. So here I am...

Most of us, we worry about failures. Before taking up some work or challenge itself we get scared, we doubt on the self and ask the self that whether I will succeed in this or not. Why do we do that? Why don't we think that if I don't even try, I will miss an opportunity to shine.  Why do we think only in negative direction most of the time? Why do we think that what if I fail and why not we think that what if I succeed? This is the basic and essential question everyone needs to ask the self.

The major hindrance in thinking positive or hopeful is the history of negative or discouraging experiences from the past. They really hinder our progress. They don't allow us to move ahead, to think positive and hopeful about us, about people or about situations. This is the real obstacle which everyone needs to cross.

What are these negative experiences are consisted of? It could be some discouraging or critical feedback from one of the significant people in our life. It could be a real failure in task we performed and something in same line only. Such and many more negative experiences prevent us from thinking positive about self, people around and situations. They make us doubt on self. In case of some sensitive people, a one failure or a one discouraging comment or feedback too can be highly harmful. After facing failures or criticism, even those people get discouraged or get demotivated who had been a huge success till that time. And this prevents them from trying for next time. Ideally this shouldn't happen. Your past failures shouldn't control your present and future performance. Its unrealistic. Isn't it?  We should completely remove this after-effect of past failure or criticism from our cognitive and emotional system as that is very much essential and required for our future growth.

Whenever we get some opportunity, we should take it and try our best to utilize it. We shouldn't run from that opportunity. Rather we should take it and turn it into a huge success by ignoring negative past experiences. We shouldn't fear  the opportunity rather we should fear the chances we are missing by fearing. Isn't it?

Think about it.

Take care.
Have a fearless day.

Yeh dil bole,"no extra!"

I have seen one advertisement where a water tap is fixed in village and it gets opened one morning. That's a dessert area where one man was walking and he sees water flowing on the white marbles of isolated bathroom. He comes and quenches his thirst. Another woman see him drinking water and she also comes to drink water. And like this entire village arrives there, quenches its thirst, fills the vessels and still the water is not stopping. And then voice over comes conveying a message that - the entire village quenches its thirst in the same amount of water used by urban person to take a bath... And it was one more 'aha' moment for me. I had read in one philosophical book, we should never overdo. I have heard my parents and grandparents saying that we should never overdo. Now what do I mean by 'overdoing'? In the above mentioned example, it's clear what is 'overdoing'. Consuming more than what is required is overdoing. Demanding more than what you actua...

Purpose...

Sometimes people wonder, what is the purpose of their life, why have they come on this earth, what their life is made for... I won't be surprised at all, if you say that you are also one of them. No worries. This question walks through everyone's mind at least once in their life. Some people happen to ask this question early in their life, some ask later in their life. It doesn't make any difference until and unless you get the correct, to be precise, the satisfactory answer.  You have whole right to be confused for some time or even longer time. But you have no right to be there forever. Remember, the purpose of your life and your chosen career may not go hand in hand, seemingly. But believe me, everything is connected at the end. Currently in your life (education, career, personal or social relationships etc.), perhaps you are  doing something by looking at which others might be feeling - what is s/he doing? But trust me, if you are clear with your goal, if you are capa...

"India is my country"

"India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters " Remember we saying this everyday in our schooldays? Of course you remember. People belonging to various religions, castes, sub casts, socioeconomic strata live in India. Consequently our languages are also different. It's a country where all live with love and peace though sometimes we experience conflict resulting from this diversity. My nationalism says that we should respect every religion, every caste in India. Not only I but I think most of us, we believe in this. But do we all follow this? Recently I came across one person who was requested to greet by saying 'Namaste' or 'Namaskar' while taking one video for some official work. But he was not ready to say 'Namste' or 'Namaskar'. While being asked about this, he said "Sir didn't you look at the 'Religion' in my form? But the same person was ready to say 'Hello'. I found it strange. He was ready...
