To learn something new everyday is a gift. One realizes this only if one`s mind is open to the world and to life. It could be as simple as learning a new word and its meaning; something that enriches one`s life in even in a small way, for every little bit of learning helps one becomes just that wee bit wiser.
One might like to think one is smart and wise-but the truth is, it is only with little experience in life that one realizes that life is a gift; it has something new to offer every single day. Suddenly, one could discover a new flower, tree or painting; one tries to understand what it is- physical enrichment because the physical is beholding something beautiful and one`s mind is trying to assimilate what it means.
One can experience during one`s career and travels, meeting people, exchanging ideas- that have helped one to absorb and learn, to share and spread happiness, transcending geography, culture, and relationship.
Best Wishes!

One of the favorite sports of India`s middle classes is bureaucracy bashing. It is an easy game to play and can be quite a lot of fun. Everyone has their favorite, outrageous story about an encounter with the bureaucracy. The inefficiency, corruption, insensitivity, stupidity and Kafkaesque circularity of bureaucratic procedures and rules are legendary. That India`s bureaucracy is one the most stifling and difficult to deal with has now been revealed in a survey. Over a thousand expatriate business executive rated India`s bureaucracy the most annoying in Asia.
The problem with India is no, as we in the middle class imagine, that we have too many idle and corrupt bureaucrats. The problem is that we have too many rules and regulations and too few officials to implement and monitor the regimes, and bring to book those who flout the rules and regulations. As India`s population grows, the disequilibrium is only going to grow: more rules and regulations to be applied to more and more people by a bureaucracy that is not high enough.
A conclusion: either we expand the bureaucracy or else the government will gradually wither away to the point that India will join the ranks of failed states. That would be a calamity for the Indian people.

A nation is what it accepts with all its heart and soul. This is true in a deeper sense
than most of us have as yet realized. Belief creates reality. It is what makes a thing exist.
If we go by this test, our Indian may be said toe just a mad ghost. I am not saying that he has no belief; indeed, no; he has so many that it is difficult to assert that he has any. It is said that he who has everything has in truth nothing. Possession means selection.
Now our Indian, be he a saint or a sinner, lacks the power of choosing. He is, if you did deep enough, a veritable beggar`s bowl, into which fate flings pull-mell a little of everything.
So, if you are looking for the authentic Indian, all I can suggest is that “there isn’t any.”
But, we have a very recognizable and very unwieldy bundle. This bundle contains heterogeneous layers of beliefs, some wise, some foolish, some with tremendous depths, other extremely shallow, but all is disharmony with one another.
Our Indian has no core. This is the most essential factor about him. Why, the Buddha even denied that we had any consciousness. He said that it was all a series of flash-points.
This is exactly what our India is. No wonder he looks so mysterious and other-worldly. You cannot pin him down; he is like a will-o`-the-wisp.

Seriousness can be defined as paying undue importance to something, at the cost of everything else. It arises from the inability to see that all of life is just a drama that is unfolding every minute. Seriousness is the result of over-expectation from life.
Seriousness kills spontaneity and destroys creativity. It closes your mind to the openness and freedom of life. It makes you dull and dead. When you perform a task in a relaxed and light manner, your thinking and decision-making capacity is automatically enhanced. The same task when performed in a serious manner dulls your mind. When you do something too seriously and are too concerned about the result. You are not allowing yourself to perform at the optimum level.
We should be sincere and sensitive which means being aware of everything. Understand, being sensitive does not mean being open to everything. Being unable to say `no` does not mean sensitivity. That is actually ego!
We should make plans and think ahead with sincerity, not with seriousness. Seriousness is not the same as sincerity. Sincerity is focusing on the task with enthusiasm and youthfulness while giving your best without worrying excessively about the results! When you are serious, you don’t enjoy, you don’t laugh, how can you laugh when you are serious?
We should understand our uniqueness but this does not mean that we should consider ourselves so special that we start taking ourselves too seriously.

Change is the inevitability of life. Our interpretation of change determines our attitude and approach to life. What is apparently beneficial is accepted without any fuss. When it comes to accepting the inconvenient and the unpleasant, there begins conflict and resentment. However, the seemingly hopeless situations that are very painful to deal with are also instruments of change. “What the caterpillar call the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
Helplessness is a state of the mind. Fixing the blame is not what absolves one of failure. Fixing the problem is the only redemption. Anger, fear, resentment, and frustration only muddle neural networks. They are merely manifestations of the fight or fright response. What is actually needed is a right, bright and trite response.
A positive approach is a big help, as it tends to activate the right brain, the one that has great intuitive abilities. The most appropriate response to any problem would be whole-brained

ByeByeBoredom
Why do so many intelligent, successful people have trouble managing theirtime and organizing their lives? Partly because we are not taught how, whenwe`re growing up. My approach to time management begins with clarifying what matters most so you can decide what to stop doing. There`s no pointin getting more efficient at doing things that don`t need to be done.Sure not needing to earn a living would free up lots of time, but you`d havea new problem in its place - you`d have even more options to sort through. The most overwhelmed and frustrated people I`ve ever known are thosewho can afford to have and do everything. Fuzzy priorities and an unwillingnessto say no are what yet you into trouble. They lead you to start things youcan`t finish, attempt too many things at once, and make promises youcan`t keep.Best Wishes,
