Gift for a Friend ...

Time is a very important thing in our life, as every one of us has only a fixed amount of it. This makes it more valuable then anything else and it makes more sense when we realize the importance of it in our day-to-day life. Surely it becomes one of the measure for things in one's life.

One of the other important measurement in life could be how many friends one has in the span and this is how one can tell if someone is your friend or if you are someone's friend, remembering that time itself is the most precious gift one could give/receive to/from a friend…

Law's of Life (15 Points)

Source : Swami Vivekananda

• Love Is The Law Of Life: All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.
• It's Your Outlook That Matters: It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.
• Life is Beautiful: First, believe in this world - that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!
• It's The Way You Feel: Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.
• Set Yourself Free: The moment I have realised God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
• Don't Play The Blame Game: Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
• Help Others: If money helps a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
• Uphold Your Ideals: Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
• Listen To Your Soul: You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
• Be Yourself: The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!
• Nothing Is Impossible: Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
• You Have The Power: All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
• Learn Everyday: The goal of mankind is knowledge... now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.
• Be Truthful: Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
• Think Different: All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

My Comments :

I can say life always gives us a chance to learn and identify oneself in this beautiful world. Those who learned it for them it's always a success. It’s more like what we tried then what we get it from life.

Before and After !!

<> Before I find a reason to smile, let me wipe many more tears.
<> Before enjoying in the lap of luxury, let me write the obituary of poverty.
<> Before cherishing sweet memories, let me create some for the shunned.
<> Before celebrating my success, let me help others to withstand failure.
<> Before losing myself in ignorant sleep, let me wake up to an unfair reality.
<> Before I hide myself behind selfish display of wealth, let my heart reveal the need to be human.
<> Before I enjoy my stay in a world of illusion, let my conscience take me on a tour to humanity.
<> Before I discover the hunger of self-centered success, let me have the satisfaction of all-pervasive happiness.

>> After I am able to do all this, let me rest in peace.

There Are No Mistakes !!

Source : Robin's Blog

So easy to beat yourself up over mistakes you've made. So many amongst us live in the past rather than loving the present and building a brilliant future. Some people stay stuck for years over something they did or a failure they've experienced. Sad. A life is a terrible thing to waste.

But let me ask you a question: "is there really such a thing as a mistake?" First of all, no one tries to fail or mess things up. Every one of us wakes up in the morning, walks out into the world and does the best we can do based on what we know and the skills we have. But even more importantly, every so-called "mistake' is actually a rich source of learning. An opportunity to build more awareness and understanding and gain precious experience. Experience that will help us do, feel and be even better. So, just maybe, there are no mistakes. Just maybe what we could call failures are actually growth lessons in wolf's clothing. And just maybe the person who experiences the most wins.

My Comments :

“The more you do the more you experience the facts and then it ultimately helps to think more and again do more. As a human being there is always a chance of improvement and one should look for the learnings from it ” . The important point is not to stop and not to stuck ... As life goes on and on with time ...

Guru Bhai - Never Stop Dreaming

Last weekend with couple of friends I planned to go for a movie, and we were very quite excited about it as all of us knew about the almost real life story. It’s about a person (a hero for most of us) in whose industry we started our career. Undoubtedly for me it was a movie of the year.

A well crafted movie it is !!! each and every character has made the movie so real. Thanks to the entire team and Mani Rathnam for his splendid job. I guess, Abhishek Bachchan (Gurukant Desai) will surely able to move up the number race after this movie, looks to me this time he was quite determinate about the talent to show off to the audience. Aishwarya Rai (Sujata) got some good work to do in the movie, but unfortunately not much.

Now coming back to the theme of the movie, not much to talk about here as most of us know it's about the life of the legendary “Dhirubhai Ambani”, so most of part is somewhat real. The movie for sure send a clear message that there are lot of things that we can learn and implement in our day to day life work hard and believe in your dreams to come. It's all about being a successful in your life. Every dialogue in this movie has a message in it, inspired by the legend.

“Gurukant Desai” better known as Guru Bhai is a dreamer, who wanted to make all his dreams true and he was ready to work hard and harder to make it true. On the other hand, “Sujata” who shares not only her husband's dreams but also some of his greed. Guru Bhai never did miss a chance or opportunity given to him, he utilized every bit of it very well, and to an extend that one can hardly imagine. The spirit of a fighter made him unique among others in the industry and finally he fought well to make impossible things to possible … He moved on to be one of the greatest business legend of India and a true charter who has created not only hopes in the heart but also shine in the eyes of millions of people.

Overall it’s a wonderful movie and we all enjoyed it, at end of the show we had our money returned back to us in the form of some inspiring thoughts, ideas that can make things different as one can never expect. I had a wonderful time watching the movie and exploring some great values of our life. So go ahead and watch it, I hope you too will enjoy as much as I did.

Life Inspired by Science

Albert Einstein has been voted the greatest physicist of all time in an end of the millennium poll, pushing Sir Isaac Newton into second place. No doubt his contribution changed Physics for ever. It's easy to find many of his gifts to this mankind by his scientific philosophy.

I found some very interesting quotes by this great scientist and within no time I easily phrase it as the life inspired by science ...

- There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

- The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

- If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

- Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
