Know the Next Chapter !

   “You can’t start the next chapter if you keep reading the last one”. A beautiful quote by American actor Michael McMillian. I guess this should be the first lesson that we all should be taught in our schools. Do you know why I said that ? Because it is a life changing lesson. If you keep yourself holded on some area then you can’t enjoy the beautiful things that lie ahead. To enjoy them you need to start with a new chapter in your life. It is common that all of us need to go through some tough times but the thing you need to know is that it is not the end of life. The Motto we should follow is 'accept the facts and move on'. All the sorrows, loss and sad times can be made to happiness by the magical power of moving forward in life.  I would like to ask you a question. When you're reading a book, do you like to stop midway? No right ! Then why do you stop the story of your beautiful life midway. Only by reading till the last page you would know how good the book was. To...

Run From Superstitions !

  “ Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom”. Do you believe in superstitions? I am sure that most of you will answer a big  “NO” to this question. But even though we say no sometimes unknowingly the power of fear brings some superstitions into our mind. One of the superstitions is seeing a black cat on the road. Many believe that  it will bring bad luck. Or some danger is gonna happen on the journey.  The effect of superstition can be negative or positive on people. I guess many of these myths originated in ancient times. People in those times just started these to control others. But over time it came up with different meanings. We have seen around us people offering promises to God for achieving  something. People are ready to offer gold ornaments to temples in order to get  a baby or visit famous temples and churches after getting a job and the list of promises goes lik...

Challenge the Change.

  “Be the change you want to see in the world”. Apparently, this quote has no formal introduction, and you may have already figured out who quoted it. You guessed it right. Mahatma Gandhi quoted this. And ofcourse the change of Gandhi had made him Mahatma Gandhi.  You might be thinking how we can make a change to this world. Changing the world is possible for famous people like Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Theresa. But how can we do that? For that I guess you should know the story of a beautiful lady Chetna Sinha.  Before that let me ask you something. Do you have a bank account? You might be thinking what happened to this girl. Has she gone mad? Why is she asking like that? Who will be there without a bank account? Well, do you think a person lying on a footpath living by repairing old shoes and bags has a bank account? Or does some beggar have a bank account? No right. For their own betterment, they too wish to save or borrow some money. But unfortunately no bank is ready ...

Creativity Holds Success

  There is a famous quote by Albert Einstein. ”Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought”. In a nutshell, this quote defines creativity and explains how it can be achieved. To put it simply, we may wash out clay on the floor when we see it. The moment we start making something creatively out of the clay, an artist is born. Creativity is different for different people, but everyone  has one for sure. It can be expressed in any fields like drawing, craftwork, dancing, singing or something that we don’t even think about. In Fact that itself is creativity. The way we are creative makes us stand out in society. If you still continue to follow others path without being creative then I guess you are wasting your inborn talent of creativity.  I guess a small story can make this quote more clear. But before coming into it, let me ask you something. How many of you know how to solve a Rubik's cube? I know many of you might be. I used to solve i...

Just Do It !

“ When someone says you can’t do it. Do it twice and take pictures”. I don’t know who quoted this. I just found it on Pinterest.  Do you remember being told that you couldn't do something or that you weren't good enough for it. What was your response that time? Listening to those words, did you drop that plan immediately or did you show them that you could do it and took a picture of it? If you have dropped the plan that means you have actually fallen into a big trap. A trap where you are trying to please others. You never tried to live for yourself. All you want is to please everyone around you.   There is a famous quote by David Copperfield, and it goes like this. “When people say you can’t do it - that it is impossible - never lose hope. Just because they couldn’t do it doesn’t mean you can't”. Believe in yourself. Never think you have only the limited talents others are having. You are always special with your own talents. Achieving your dreams is possible if you beli...

What is the Story Of Your Life ?

  “The choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life”. A quote by Gregory David Roberts. What is the story of our life? What is our choice when we have a problem, is it hating or forgiving?  But before going into it, I just wanted to tell you a small story , The  story of a bank robber. The story of Gregory David Robert itself. We know him as an Australian author, composer and songwriter. But after his breakup with his wife and losing his daughter he became a heroin addict. He started doing many crimes. He was sentenced to 19 years in  prison. But he escaped from the prison and spent eight years in Bombay. In Bombay he established a free medical  clinic for slum dwellers. He only robbed institutions with insurance and he always made sure to say “please” and “thank you” to people he robbed. In spite of the fact that Roberts was a robber, he took money from people who were secure and gave it to the needy. That is how he entered i...

Gift To Mother

  Preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we have ever known. A beautiful quote by American Astronomer Carl Edward Sagan. The pale blue dot, the only home, what is he referring to. Is it our mother earth?  You might be thinking why I am referring to earth as our mother. Is it because she gives us life and embeds us like a mother. Of course not only because of it. The most important reason is that she protects us exactly like how a mother protects her little baby.  Today's newspapers are brimming with stories of how mother earth protects her beautiful children. And I know that upon reading that news, we all had a beautiful smile on our faces. The four little children along with their mother, the pilot and an indigenous leader started their journey. But unfortunately due to engine failure the plane crashed. The bodies of three adults were recovered near the crash. The children went missing in the Amazon forest. After 40 days of search the four children were fo...
