Patience

Patience

Are you in hurry to get somewhere?
Are you destroying your chances of getting there by being impatient?
Are you being patient with your dreams or mistaking passivity for patience?

Have patience but in correct way.

A famous proverb, '' all good things come to those who wait.'' It holds a lot of truth, but it is a saying that is flawed and incomplete. Because waiting alone is not enough for good things. Good things came to those who wait and side wise actively do something. Waiting is effortless and good things rarely come effortlessly. Passivity is not patience, it is a habit. Patience is not passively waiting for things to change. ''This is laziness. But keep going, when going is hard and slow, that is patience.'' 

Procrastination is a thief of time.

Patience has its limit, take it too far and it's cowardice. Actually we have fear doing something and hide it as we are being patient and simply waiting for right time to come in order to do something. 

In the book “Think and Grow Rich” Napoleon Hill tells a story with the title “three feet from gold.” It’s about a man who found a piece of land that had promising gold deposits, After convincing some relatives and friends he managed to get enough money to buy the machinery necessary to mine the gold ore. But a few weeks later, having initially hit some gold deposits, he lost the vein of gold ore. Desperately, he and his colleagues drilled to try and find the vein of gold deposits again. But to no avail. Eventually, after digging many weeks, he decided to quit. He sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars and went back home. Luckily, the junk man was smart. He got a mining engineer to come and look at the mine. The engineer made some calculations and showed the junk man that the person he bought the machinery from had quit just three feet away from where the gold deposits were. Had he continued digging he would have found the gold. The junk man had truly struck it rich and made millions of dollars in ore from the mine.

A famous Chinese proverb that “One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.”

  • Have patience – handle setbacks and temporary defeat
  • Setbacks and defeats will come on the journey to achieving your dreams. 
  • Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness.
  • The word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
  • It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

Father's Day

Father's Day.................   What is the definition of a father? Can we define father by using a few words?  There are two categories of each and every relationship. One having a great father, wonderful experience mixture of love and care. On the other side, nothing on the name of father.  Basically father is another name of protection. Children feel protected under the shadow of their father. Doesn't matter either he is giving something or not. But his presence matters a lot. Like if something is going then he will be there to save us from that darkness. This factor makes a man a father. Otherwise ''Any fool ca be a father, but it takes a real man to be a Dad.''  Yes Yes Yes, there is something special in a dad.  This day is for those who act as a backbone for their kids, even after leaving this world.

Ethics, Morality, Spirituality and Inner Peace

Ethics, Morality,  Spirituality  and Inner Peace Never ever think to do something which is unethical. Ethics are directly related to your inner peace. Ethics are the standards by which behaviors are evaluated for their morality – their rightness or wrongness. “Truth is higher than everything, but higher still the truthful living”.   It is through truthful living that a man can achieve contentment, compassion and understanding. Our society is full of those people who always remain on the look out for an opportunity to seek personal gain. They do not follow the path of truth and go astray. One day I told to my mother that someone give me a task. But my heart is not willing to do that work. I am not feeling good while doing this work. She replied me, every morning when i came to your room, i always found you in a very peaceful sleep. And I don't want a day, when i came to your room, i found that you are not sleeping. I got the answer from these words. Our peace, in...
