Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow.

  “My advice is to never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time.” A famous quote by Charles Dickens. While reading this quote my eyes got stuck into the word procrastination. Are you a procrastinator ? I guess many times we become a procrastinator even though we don’t wish to be.  Imagine you have got a holiday today. You have some assignments to be submitted next week. Would you complete your assignment now or think that any way I have got one more week for the submission, I will just do it later, let me have a good sleep now. And that 'later' goes till the day before the submission. And you will be completing your work a day before the deadline in a hurry. The same thing happens for your studies also. You will happily enjoy and waste the entire semester without studying anything and on the day before the exam you open up your beautifully kept notebook and start studying. You will complete the entire syllabus with your superpower. I guess you ...

'NO' - The Powerful Weapon !

  “When you say “Yes” to others, make sure you are not saying “No” to yourself”. A famous and beautiful quote by Paulo Coelho. When was the last time you said ‘yes, sure’ to someone but your heart was screaming from inside “nooo”. But what is the use? You have anyway told yes. You might say Oh I can't be so rigid, I am not a rough person to say no. I want to be nice with everyone. Yeah, kind of true, being rigid is not so easy. But I have a small question. Are you happy by saying yes all the time ? Think, think. It’s time to get out of the guilt you have acquired by saying yes to everything.  Always have your own stand. Never leave your dignity for someone else. Do the things that you like. Never try to do anything to satisfy others. Always remember the people you are trying to satisfy now by saying yes won’t be with you forever. The guilt you acquire after telling yes will be faced by only you. No one will come to share the guilt with you.   If you don’t like or do...

The Broken Promises

  Promises are worse than lies. You don’t just make them believe, you also make them hope. A famous quote by American Actress Marilyn Monroe. This quote reminded me a story I have read long back. The story of a beggar and a rich man. One day a rich man while walking through the streets saw a poor old man shivering with cold. Seeing the old man's plight, the rich man paused beside him and informed him he would take a blanket from his bungalow and bring it to him. The old man was so happy and he waited for the rich man to come with the blanket. The rich man on reaching his home was so busy that he completely forgot about the blanket. It was too late in the night and he slept due to the heavy work of the day. The next day the rich man woke up from his sleep remembering the blanket. He immediately took a blanket and went to the old man. But it was too late. The old man died due to severe cold. But a small letter was beside him. The rich man took the letter and it said, “ I had the cou...
