Food for thought - 06 : My Perspective to it

At the end of the day it is not what others think about us matters, but rather what made them think so!

Food For thought - 06, is something which needs a perspective added to it for a better understanding. In very simple terms it means that we shall listen to all what people say about us and then think what made them think about us that way!

We are, right from our childhood, taught that Kuch toh log kahenge, logo ka kaam hai kehna, So ignore. But it is not always true because at times we act in such a way which we feel is right but it doesn't get presented that way and hence misinterpreted.

Also the other side to it is that, people think very high of us, but we don’t realize the reason why. It may be something ingrained within our values which others admire and respect. Upon a self introspection we realize what actions of ours made people think about us that way.

I personally believe that if you want to grow and succeed in life take little time out every day for a self – introspection, wherein you examine each of your activity and interaction  and identify what needs to be corrected and what needs to remain the same in future (i.e. tomorrow onwards). This shall help us in devising an action plan to make ourselves better well in advance as well as continue doing the good things which we are doing today.


This way we shall not only create an impact on other people’s thoughts but also grow and develop as a person each day!



A post on self - introspection shall shortly follow, so stay connected!!

A Life Lesson #2

Image
Never let an old flame burn you twice Life is a journey which is far beyond just living.... It is about fun, happiness, people and above all experiences and memories associated with all of them. Experience is a gift for some and a lesson for some... It is as you perceive it. But above all what matters is what it leaves behind because you never lose in the game of life either you win or you learn. And the pain you would feel while learning shall be your greatest strength when you face a similar situation again. As I always say.... Life is a journey, supported by your wisdom and your wit. But wisdom and wit is something that needs to be developed over time and  what best a school would be to develop them than the school of life with 'experience' as its headmaster - who is worldly wise and supreme in the school called life. Our perception teaches us a lot of things as well. No doubt our experience teaches a lot of things but if we have flexibility in

Understanding the Misunderstanding

Image
It is said that a few wise words can bring a great change in your life far more than what thousands of words can, so can this quote. The Quote here in the picture is something that we all must have dealt with at some point or the other.  A misunderstanding can create such unforgivable situations around those going through it that all their emotions of love, respect, bonding becomes a thing of the past and what takes its place are the emotions of hatred, jealousy and detachment. Often the two main causes of a misunderstanding are: Lack of Communication and a Third person. But the latter plays a major role using the former. People out of jealousy plant incomplete information which is often manipulated to create strife between people. This strife, which ‘they’ feel is their victory is actually the defeat of their morals and values which put them down to such a level that they can’t rise above these disgusting ways of manipulating things. The repercussions of a misunderstanding

Selfish: To sell your own fish for your benefit!?

Image
The title seems quite confusing but puts up quite an evident question – is doing something for ourselves and our own life which others can’t match up to, called being selfish? Selfish is a bad word in most people’s books. As a society, we applaud selflessness, honor, sacrifice and service. Being called selfish is hurting, but this particular trait can help you become a better person.  It is critical to be selfish and self – centered when you are considering the future of YOUR life! And that is because you are responsible for your own happiness.  Most people give up their heart’s desire to do something by getting influenced from other people. It is a strange aspect of human psychology that we try to please everyone and not hurt their feelings… but is it worth it? Is giving up your desires and dreams for others (who don’t have much of role to play in your life), fair? Consider a situation to understand the point above: your best friend comes over to you and asks whether h
