LiFE SKILLS: SUCCESSFUL and HAPPY.. How?

This post is related with LIFE SKILLS posts :  and ......


Dear friend in continuation of my previous posts  and ,on demand of my readers, I am sharing another post for the progress of soul and happiness in life. The life is totally unpredictable and sometimes it gives what is not asked. A good career but no family to share the fruits, A supporting family but loss in business or losing of job, a beautiful wife but no home. we shall always remember that life do not give everything to us. Whatever we get, we pay price for it. There is no free lunch for any of us. Then how could one knows that whatever is paid and received is always a good bargain. Dear friends we must remember that any food may seem to be tasty when add with a pinch of salt, not with heavy dose of it. Anything which we give shall be like a pinch and same rule applies to success. Any one who is successful  may not be happy or vice-versa. The both are two ends of a river which go simultaneously but never meet with each other but life although runs like a river but still can manage to have both end up to some extent but need for identifying the level is an important task. Ok friends let's have few points which may help in balancing the rational approach in life.
  •  Always have three types of friends: They are like an institute who walk and move.
 a. Some young energetic friends- They will help you to improve your reflexes and improve your decision making. They will further help in improving your tastes and keep you update about what's happening around. They would respect you and treat you as an asset-friend.
b. Same age group friends- They have grown up with you so they know you well. They have seen you doing cheating as well as know your abilities in keeping yourself away from vices. they believe you and check you as and when they want. None of them is role model and nor you so live natural and enjoy everything.
c. Matured and successful friends- They will help you developing your skills of handling persons and providing advices. You can study them as a subject and learn a lot from them. Their positives and weak points, their temperament, their attitude and their behavior, all shall be kept under scanner of your mind.    
  •  Think and plan in morning, Act in noon, Cherish and relish what life has given you in the evening.
  • Be unique in life, Be regular in office, Be lazy in bed.
  • Never be angry when you are awaken in the middle of night, you are important part of a decision making and got a say.
  • It is better to quite then to speak irrelevant.
  • Be quick but careful, you are on apex. As you can see a lot, a lot can see you too.                       
  • Let your work speaks itself. You just project it well.
  • Admit mistakes before pointing out by one or all.
  • Be attentive and a good listener in meetings, The hearer do not participate rather obstructs.
  • Body language has its language and understands by one and all.
  • Have fun in parties, have work in office.Do not indulge in vice-versa at same places.
  • No important person remains alone in party, found your taste before noticed by any one.
  • Fulfill your dream, it includes your emotional dreams as well as professional targets.
  • Sometime crying in full public view is not at all bad.
  • Update your daily list of to do in afternoon so that some of tasks can be preponed.
  • It is good to follow a hobby but not the addiction.
  • Success touches every one but not always.
  • Never have a deal with life for success, what we get is sometimes better than what we hope.
  • When you are a Manager- work like a Dy. Manager, Order like a Sr. Manager and decide like a normal human being.
  • Be kind, Be forgiving, Be sympathetic,  above all Be good listener,  when you would be retired, you would be happily remembered for these qualities.
  • Laugh on your foolishness, learn from your mistakes, tell your story with mentioning your failures, you will be counted as successful.
  • Humor is good positive drink. Have it whenever get it.
  • Never argues with your life, it always give, sometimes a corn and sometimes a water melon.
  • Every guest, visitor/customer comes with teaching a new lesson.
Above all a Guru in life never always come with long hairs, white beard, covered/ bald head or crowd of followers, he may glow in you life wearing a Tee's with cargo pents and introduce you directly to God in jeans. 

Have a Happy and Successful life.

Raksha Bandhan- A festival of Sisters and Brothers

Dear friends, All festivals have a symbolic meaning of togetherness and strong ties among the friends, family and society. They are the reflection of love, brotherhood and unity. Today a festival in India is celebrated with joy and happiness. Raksha Bandhan- ( The thread of Protection) is the festival of all brothers and sisters.  It is celebrated on full moon night in 'Shravan' month.This day is dedicated to the relation between brother and sister. It is refreshing memories of their sibling time spent together in affection, fraternity w/o any ego and falsehood. On this day, the sister ties a thread on the wrist of their brothers. She gifts him and brother also gives her return gift. They promise to protect and support their sisters whenever there will be any emergency. The sister also prays for long life of her brother. It is a friendly knot which unites two individual at one place. It is a relationship which always accepts the past and take care of future while living the present moment in happy note. the relationship between brother-sister helps in self-growth. It elaborates the relationship in rainbow colors.  There are many stories which explain the importance of this day. Some of the stories I am sharing with you:

The story of KRISHNA and DRAUPADI :
Shishupal- a cousin of Krishna had an ill-will and jealousy for Krishna. in addition to that, Krishna also got married with Rukmani and Shishupal was interested in marrying her. Krishna was always welcomed by abuses by him wherever they met. Shishupal's mother had knowledge about her son's death with the hand of Krishna therefore she took a promise from Krishna that he would forgive him for 100 times in a day. When King Yudhistera did the 'Raj-Surya' yaghya , invited all other kings for joining  and choose Krishna as the first man for paying his respect. Shishupal got annoyed and started abusing Krishna. All the gathered people tried to pacify him but in vain. Krishna kept control himself till he gave 100 abuses to him but he continued despite warnings of Krishna. Krishna attacked with his chakra for eliminating him. After cutting his throat when chakra came back to the little finger of Krishna, it hurt him and bleeding started from there. Queen Draupadi, who was witnessing it, immediately went to him and tore a bandage from her worn saree and tied over the wound to stop the bleeding. Sri Krishna took as the affection of a sister to her brother and declared it as Rakhi. He further promised that whenever she would need him, he would come to rescue her that is why when Dushashana pulled her saree to humiliate her in the court. She called Krishna for help and Krishna helped her by his divine power and protected her dignity.

The story of KING BALI and LAKSHMI:
King Bali- a demon king was the follower of Vishnu. As Vishnu had promised to safe guard his reign therefore he left his home i.e. Vaikuntha and his wife Lakshmi and started living in the state of King Bali. The goddess Lakshmi got sad by that and changed her appearance and went to King Bali for accepting her as a sister. King Bali agreed to do so and when Lakshmi tied the rakhi to him. He asked her what she wanted and needed most. Lakshmi asked for her husband-Vishnu to return to Vaikunth if he permitted.  King Bali allowed Vishnu to go back and lived with Lakshmi. The symbol of yellow thread which she tied to Bali is still a custom on this day.

The story of King ALEXANDER and Great PURU- King :
King Alexander's wife Roxana when reached India and heard about King Puru and strength of his army felt that King Alexander might die with the hands of King Puru. She changed her appearance and went to King Puru and requested to tie rakhi to him. Puru accepted her as sister, got tied rakhi and promised not to kill King Alexander in the battlefield. He did not kill him despite losing the battle and kept his word. This had made King Alexander to changed his mind and he shed his wish for victory over the world and went back to his country.

The story of QUEEN KARMAVATI and KING HUMAYUN:
When Queen Karmavati of Chittor was attacked by another ruler Bahudur Shah, She send a rakhi to King Humayun who returned from Bengal for defending her but as he reached late, in between Queen did the 'JOHAR' ( Self immolation to save her honor). King Humayun fought a battle with him and restored the kingdom to her son Vikramjit and kept the honor of relation. 

There are other famous stories too about this festival.

The importance of this band can be recognized as even Lord Indra got a rakhi tied by her wife-Shachi as band of protection before proceeding for war with demons.

This festival is a celebration of bindings among relations, establishing new relations, promises to take care, affection among siblings, unity and harmony among people, freedom of mind, thoughts, emotions and feelings. It spreads the message that even a spoken relation if forge is above any blood relation or family tie. It can bring change in the lives of people as well spread the message of permanent  unconditional love and bond-ship. 

Happy Raksha Bandhan to all brothers and sisters. May God protect and bring them good luck and prosperity.

One day I will....

One day I will write a book, one day I will wake-up early and go for morning jog, one day I will go meet my teachers who had stood by me when no one was trusting me as successful,  one day I will pray and remember God, one day I will visit my parents, one day I will call my long lost friend and speak with him......

That one day would never come and allows us to do what we always want to do. The promise with self will never be filled that we would able to do certain act with determination and free-will. The life - best gift to us by our creator is fortunately is not certain and risk-free that is why it is full of fun and surprises. It teaches us the lessons of God and confers us with merging of soul with super-soul-God. The life is game of chance and moving rightfully. A consequent is unknown and unexplainable till it takes shape. A life is not divided like a school's time table. It is unorganised and unpredictable. If a man desires what is needed then there would be be less heart-breaking and disappointment in life. The decisions would be more rational and realistic. The difference between desire and need is thin-line and in nut-shell it is knowing self. Everyday is a never happening day and it would never repeats too. Remember no two-things are similar and they follow the basic rule of unique identification. It is a law of nature.  So now I have decided that let this day-today be my day when I will do what I always want to do. I am not at all interested to live in my life in that day which will never happen in my life. Nothing is preponed or postponed. Life never live any future form. It is part and parcel of today. The day never wait for me and I have fully understood it. It is the situation of now-or-never. My writing shall not make a book to wait, my visit to my parents is fixed for today. I thank my creator for allowing me to do so. I thankful to my teachers for believing in me. I am thankful to my family, friends, well-wishers and everyone for my progress as a human-being. I know that my life only believes- Now or Never and that is why I am not going to miss this opportunity. Love You All.

The Speech of 15th August, ( The Independence Day )


                                    
                                  The Speech of 15th August*

My Dear fellow countrymen, Thy shall know that you all are not alone and we all are together in our good time and bad time. 

My dear Indians, It is our day, the day of independence is a light in each of us which reminds us to remember that the spirit of freedom must be kept intact through not only the dreaming about it but also to work for this even when we are unconscious. This job shall not be assigned to our brain but to our reflex system.

Dear pals, Long ago when we were not independent but the colony of some other nation and it had not happened because of greediness or exploitation by them but because we forget to remember the importance of freedom and lived not as a society but as an individual. We had our own false ego, division over the personal matter i.e. religion, caste, region or language. We chose our destiny not in India but in I, me and myself. We must understand that if we are one as nation only then we will able to survive any acid test posed by time before us. Our destiny of strength is written as a citizen of India not as an individual known as Sharma, Verma, Gupta, Kaur, Khan, Pinto but as an "Indian".

My loveable friends, a freedom has brought the free-thinking-will in us which allows our mind to co-ordinate with our body but thy shall know wherever there is a power, there is a responsibility too.  This responsibility is a good consequent if an action is evaluated before in hand because once the arrow is free from bow it would hurt anyone whosoever  be in the line, range and target.

Power is poison, as long as one holds, it poisons the mind, we therefore declare that now onwards no one who has been elected four time total in the election would be allowed to contest. It would give new opportunities to young and innovative mind to come forward and participate in building our great nation. I have further made it mandatory that anyone who would be swore as minister must not be an illiterate and inexperienced in dealing the ministry. For that it is decided that he would first send to training center for learning the practical aspects of their respective ministry. After the training if they pass the basic aptitude test only then they would be allowed to work as minister. 

Besides this a panel of well renowned experienced and experts persons is created to assist and advice the govt in running the system. This panel will be like an advisory body as well as watch-man to see the actions-reactions of functions.

Dear folks, To encourage the education, we are making mandatory to all parents to send their children to school. No one would be allowed to keep their children away from school. The basic education has been upgraded to class 12 th. It is the right as well as duty to perform. The children are our asset and no one, not even their parents are allowed to play dirty with national treasure. The reservation would be treated as privileged not as right therefore the students who are educated through govt. school only they would get reservation in admissions and jobs. Those who have got their study through private schools would be dealt as per general without reservation.

To further boost the importance of education, we therefore remove tax liability from school curricular books. These books shall be kept below the price tag of Rs. 99 and no tax would be levied against them and income to writers and publishers would be treated as tax free. All schools would be provided with projectors and computers and mode of study would be chosen through their aptitude test. They can take their exam in the language they love to do. There would not be any force about the language for writing an answer in the sheet.

To further increase the innovation among the new blood, we designate a separate ministry known as ’Ministry of Innovative approaches and new ideas’. This ministry would work under prime-minister, reporting directly so that any idea shall not be unnoticed and given due importance. There will be a separate board for yearly recognition and appreciation something like film festival i.e. best new innovative idea/project, most useful idea, project etc.

My dear brothers and sisters, corruption has made life difficult for common people. We all wish to remove it from our respected country but how it would be done if one holds public land in front of his shop or disobeys traffic signal and give money to get away from law. The law is made to protect our rights and our society. The purpose is not to bother someone but to discipline and safe guard each other rights. Let’s take a pledge that we would follow the law of land and would not indulge in such acts where we need to pay money for our illegal acts. We are initiating a program 'Know your rights, Understand your duties" so that we all be apprised by these basic concepts. The village panchayat / RWA/ Schools/ Departments will provide education to all at their door step.

My dear friends, As we have mentioned that children are our gracious national treasure therefore I announce from this platform that honor killings, child abuse, neglecting child would be treated with harsh punishments and the same is done to safe guard the women’s from perpetrators and crime committed by them i.e. eve teasing, abusing women, attack and assaulting women, Rape, Stalk, dowry deaths. These above are treated as offenses in first degree, non-bailable, non-compoundable and we would not tolerate them.

As the children are our gracious national treasure, the senior citizens are our experience banks who share what we have to learn yet. Therefore it has been made mandatory that now onwards all senior citizens are national assets. Anyone who has no livelihood is welcome to become part of a new program called “ SAMMAN” –Respect. This program would provide pensions to all those who do not get any pension from any scheme or has less than Rs. 10,000 as saving or property.   As every police station runs a food mess on co-operative scheme therefore municipality is directed to run such messes with the help of NGO governed by council of senior citizens and to provide ready food tiffins/ grocery items and clothes on reasonable rates.

At this stage we would like to clarify that anyone who is found to be criminally indulged in misappropriating the govt. funds will be treated with special law/ act as enacted to deal with those who dare to do so. The punishments for such offense would run in confiscating all properties/ bank balances with 20+ yrs. or more Imprisonment.

Dear friends, now we would like you to come forward and do something for environment besides providing jobs to needy. “Grow Bharat - Green Bharat” is the mantra for everyone. From now for next 10 yrs, a levy of 1 % is fixed for people who intend to buy new car/ two wheeler above basic model, a property, jewelery, diamonds expensive phones, gadgets, foreign tours, Air travels, Luxury hotel stays. This fee would be available as subsidy to village Panchayat for growing fruit/ naturopathy trees in panchayati land, boundaries of farmers’ field. Side paths in the village as well as to Residents welfare association/ Local residential committee. The subsidy would be treated as loan and refundable if in case it is found that the panchayat/ committee fails to maintain and progress the program. The income from such trees when occurs shall be used by concerned for social and public development.

My dear brothers and sisters, we have noticed that with the passage of time if hospitals have increased, the cost of treatment has increased too. We have noticed that the hospitals which are supposed to treat poors are only treating their obligations and employees hence the benefit to common man is far ahead. The purpose has been defeated by such acts. Therefore I declare ‘Right for medical treatment’ as constitutional right. The cost of medicines and equipment would be decided by a board named as “Censor Board of Medicines and treatment price”. All doctors whether in personal or in public capacity are bound by the decisions taken by this board. If any one found violating the norms, the license of hospital/doctor would be canceled and that property would be come under the control of state and subsequently run by state medical board on govt. payment basis for certain period. In addition to this all children under 18 yrs, all students under 24 yrs, all girls under 20 yrs, all women above 45 yrs and all men above 62 yrs are treated under special medical service and they would pay only Rs. 10 for consultation fee to medical practitioners. The girls under 18 yrs and boys under 12 yrs and women above 60 yrs and men above 72 yrs would be given medicines on control rate from subsidized chemist shops on the medical card issue to them. All above the age of 75 and below the age of 5 yrs are covered under govt. health insurance plan for free medical treatment in private as well as govt.hospitals.   

My dear country fellows, presently there is a need for controlling the population as it eats all the progressive aspects in the economy. We therefore declare that all marriage below the age of 25 yrs for men and 22 yrs for women if occurred would be declared as null and void from its initiation. Such marriages are not at all tolerated and rigorous punishment with fine is prescribed for those to do, assist, abet, motivate or party to it even by attending. Any marriage would proceed only after the clearance from area magistrate and any priest/Imam/Granthi or any one find performing it would be liable for imprisonment. Anyone who is having a single child will be given tax rebate/ pay increment and priority in general tasks like train/ air /bus reservation with discount in necessary items etc.

My dear friends, on this auspicious day we would like to mention that a ministry has been allocated to do work about up linking of all major roads and rivers as a major mode of transport. This program would be known as 'Rameshwar Setu'. It would helpful for development as well as for better and faster movement. All the rivers /roads will have trees as mentioned above. It would helpful in ‘Grow Bharat –Green Bharat’ project besides having environmental development. The linking would further lead to strong infrastructure in the country.

My dear citizens, As natural resources are drying we need to understand that water is receding fast therefore we ask the support and active participation of village panchayat/ RWA/ NGO’s and other bodies in preserving water bodies besides reusing of water in various projects i.e. planting, washing of floors, etc. It is a universal issue.  We have a drafted version of water saving policy "Jal Jiwan" for our nation. It will be circulated today itself. Again we request all the citizens to come forward and understand the importance of conserving natural resources.

My dear fellow countrymen, once again we offer a peace talk with naxal and other groups who are bent upon to speak through their guns that the gun-culture would not help in creating a bridge between them and us. A gun-shot would be answered by gun-shot and that would ruin the possibility of truce between us. We request them to come forward w/o wearing any mask to build a trust and confidence between us otherwise they would be dealt accordingly.

Dear friends, as we have observed that today more people are dying in road accidents than in wars or terrorists/naxal activities. Therefore the subject of road safety and driving skills has been added to school curriculum. Now onwards all those who have studied about it would able to understand it before controlling their movements on roads. An incident w/o driving license would be treated as attempt to murder/ murder on road depending over the consequent.

My dear friends, from the beginning India has always advocated good friendly relations with neighbors. A neighbor is closer than a distant blood related brother. I therefore once again thank my neighbors for respecting us as a nation. At this juncture we would not like to mention but force to do so that recent activities by our neighboring countries would not be treated as friendly gesture whether it is a case of building sheds or intrusion in boundary or firing at our peaceful troops and killing them. It would force us to take such steps having adverse effects on each other's respective economy. We further inform that as recently we have increased our forces in 35 % in strength and develop few sophisticated weapons and missile programs have nothing to do with preparations for war as we fully trust and support friendly relations with them. It is our own way to keep self-reliant as a strong ally to them. We are sending them the proposal of open border with increasing the trade and share the heritage and legacy between us. The relations with our nations are progressing due to trust, respect and mutual consent for universal brotherhood.

In concluding my Independent speech, I happily declare that now India would be known as its constitutional name “BHARAT”.

My dear fellow countrymen, once again I congratulate you on this happy occasion of independence and pray to God that he shall give us enough strength to handle the freedom and carry the responsibility. 

May Bharat live long,

Jai-Hind , Jai Bharat.   



- Dedicated to my mother country-India on her 67th Independence day...
