60 life lessons part 15

761 When you argue without knowing the true subject of your argument, your argument dies before it even begins.

762 Your victories may give you a feeling of success, but complete success isn’t dependent on victory alone. Without even a single victory, a person can be successful in their own and others’ eyes.

762 When needs and demands keep rising with higher expectations, then it is difficult to feel contented as restlessness will always be overpowering.

763 When the same things need to be repeated to the same person multiple times, it either means he doesn’t hold you as an important person or what you are saying doesn’t seem important enough to get their complete attention.

764 Technology has made us so addicted that even five minutes without digital engagement causes panic and anxiety attacks on all fronts.

765 The person who makes you feel important automatically becomes important to you without indulging in any background check.

766 Backstabbing someone who has no grudges or malice against you requires a high level of inhumanity.

767 One minute of stillness can teach certain things that a thousand hours of non-stop busyness can’t.

768: Drawing people’s attention once is no miracle, but drawing it repeatedly with your craft is a stroke of genius.

769. A small fight with a person: the first time is a power show, the second time is a warning, and the third time is an explosion, as many small fights with the same person can snowball into a ferociously intense one with the potential for complete loss of control and maximum physical assault and damage on both sides.

770 Yesterday’s events shouldn’t be dragged to the present, and present events shouldn’t be extrapolated to the future. Nothing is permanent. Take it as it comes.

771 People who need to outshout an argument are in a place where

People have deaf ears.

People around are only good at speaking and have no patience for listening.

People have no interest in what is being said.

772 The proportion of uselessness in society can be easily identified by how many get involved in futile political discussion. Political discussion is the best way to open a conversation that has no focused objective.

773 After deleting something, we are always tempted to include other things, but after adding something, we are often reluctant to delete the unnecessary. In need of clarity, we seek power to add, but clarity lies in how effectively we are able to subtract the irrelevant.

774 Your presence doesn’t matter where, even without you, everything can be run in a perfect and efficient manner. Your presence matters where, without you, everything starts to crumble and no one else has the ability to put things in order.

775 Some relationships are difficult to preserve once they go out of sight. They are barely remembered. This mostly happens when a person’s life is not dependent on others or a person’s interests and thoughts don’t align with others.

776 The world of advertising was created to make less appealing products look more appealing, but with its constant recurrence and overdose ,it makes even useful and more appealing products look less appealing and distasteful.

777 When you can abuse someone online but can’t abuse the same person face-to-face, not only have you shown your cowardice but you also prove yourself to be impotent.

778 When you receive something in excess and you don’t have adequate capacity to handle it well, instead of using it as a buffer during a time of need, it will end up being wasted quickly and you will be left as vulnerable as before.

779 In a meeting, if you are more concerned about avoiding someone than excited about meeting someone, then you shouldn’t be in the meeting. Fear will grip you so badly that excitement will vanish as soon as you get there.

780 If talking and behaving in a nonsensical way helps you forget your inner worries for a moment, then being nonsense is a good way to ease yourself up.

781 We die inside with too much baggage too many times while we are alive. But we die only once, without any baggage, when we are actually dead.

782 If you are not doing something which you are supposed to do due to lethargy, mood swings, etc., then it is an insult to your commitment to yourself that you are not holding tight and right.

783 Inconsistencies in your behaviour may

Makes people dislike you as your behaviour is not as per their assumption.

It makes some people keep guessing about you.

& make some people adore you, as some find you appealing due to surprises in your character.

784 Most interesting things are told in the form of stories in order to be remembered, but many stories are not that interesting and worthwhile to be remembered.

785 If you are not sure whether you can make any progress in life, any direction you walk is itself progress made out of thin air.

786 If something is beyond your reach after all your earnest trying, you must move on without harping on not getting the desired result. At some point, the power to quit seems more reasonable than the urge to continue forever.

787 It needs lots of love and sacrifice to feel proud and part of other historic and life-changing moments.

788 The most memorable people in your life may not have special moments of their own, but they make sure that they make every moment of yours spent with them special.

789 Some find it difficult to get out of a routine life to live differently, some find it difficult to get back into a routine after living differently. Each has its own choices.

790 Overconfidence is like that missile which is launched at high speed, keeps rising up initially, but slows down midway ,gets lost when it misses trajectory and eventually crashes out in turbulence with no residue left behind.

791 If different paths in life keep confusing you, you still have no idea of what the best road for you is.

792 When you choose to immerse yourself in your own emptiness, you see its magnificent beauty. However, when emptiness chooses to immerse you, you have one of the most harrowing experiences.

793 The circus, which we reject to be part of when alone, is the same circus we happily participate in in other people’s company to not look weird.

794 All the tries have a component of failure embedded in them, and failure is not possible without giving a try.

795 The difference between fantasy and imagination is that

Fantasy is imagination without thought.

An idea is an imagination that builds up a deep thought process inside.

796 Our thoughts get repetitive because we barely explore different ideas with an open mind and eventually kill the immense potential that exploration can bring to us.

797 Using systems and authority to dominate others is a lame power show that has little to no significance in the real world. The real heroism lies in using power to rescue people from tough and helpless situations. This will ensure that they will no longer have to worry or fear for their lives.

798 Nature is mostly silent and incommunicable, and we can truly immerse ourselves in its true beauty only in silence.

799 The contact which remains intact and strengthens after all rubbing demonstrates an unparallel quality of weathering roughness with toughness.

800 People get the courage to deceive others only after losing the shame of deceiving themselves first.

801 Our time frame decides what is mortal and what is immortal for us. Over a short period of time, nearly everything looks like it is “immortal”, but over a long time, we may see many boom and bust cycles and most of those supposed immortals will disappear, leaving only a few.

802 Excessive addition of things in life makes us feel out of control, while excessive deletion of things makes us feel void and remorseful. The key is to maintain the proper balance.

803 When one starts searching for the highest quality things among a long list of many things, one searches with the bias that anything discovered first cannot be of the highest quality. Even if the finest things are discovered initially, they are conveniently ignored in the hope of finding better quality things later. Eventually, exhaustion sets in after too many searches, and people settle for less than the best one initially found.

Keep your searches to a minimum because, often, less is more.

804 When nobody gives you a chance, you have to give yourself a chance to prove that others’ chances don’t matter if you can create your own chance with your own skill and talent.

805 The exciting thing about life is that it is a battle every day. Every day, we have the chance to renew ourselves, but the risk of getting decayed looms over us as well. We have to feel, experience, think, and take action in this battle to keep ourselves moving.

When life ceases to be a battle, we lose the excitement of living for the next day.

806 Once you visualise and internalise the maximum amount of pain you can tolerate, no fear can ever rule over you and no untoward incident can ever scare you to death.

807 The clutter of doubt takes away sanity of mind when the insanity of confusion makes us swirl under its commotion.

808 When incense is burnt, it spreads its beautiful aroma all over the place. Similarly, love and hope spread the beauty of mankind everywhere.

809 Many things that started and finished in a rush lose their vitality and existence in a rush, and many things that took an abnormally long time from start to finish find their relevance intact even after many generations.

810 Characterization of a character is not possible if it has no defined role to play and can switch roles as per changing wishes and demands.

811 Any relationship can quickly degrade if one abuses it for selfish reasons while not being willing to listen to or accommodate the feelings of others. Doing so hurts others’ self-esteem, which is broken beyond repair.

812 When the body is severely cut, blood gushes out with force to cause more pain. Similarly,when free voice is cut, frustration gushes out to cause madness and anger to spread all around.

813. The person who can find meaning in the meaningless, sense in the senseless, and thoughts in the thoughtless can also see something alive in the dead, as the eye that fails to see and seek truth can justify falsehood at any time and in any place.

814 If you repeatedly visit a place intentionally where you are uninvited and unwanted, then you are equally responsible and cannot plead innocence when an untoward war of words and lethal attack is directed against you.

815 The ugliest wars in history broke out due to disturbances in boundaries, communities, faiths, and religion, and people will go to any extent to preserve and restore it to its original form.

816 Just like a menu cannot define a meal, a chapter cannot define a book, one country cannot define the world, one person cannot define mankind, and similarly, one shade of your character cannot define your entire personality.

817 Different systems have different equilibrium states. No two equilibriums should be considered the same. When changes happen, readjustments need to be made so one can smoothly shift from one equilibrium to another one without much distortion.

818 When any network grows to a disproportionate level, a few large control many small, and “these few” help many new links to get connected to make a bigger chain. When “these few” are removed or disturbed, then chaos , havoc, and instability follow to give a big jolt to the network built.

819 The sense of time gets lost when the loss of time never gets sensed.

820 When you lose contact with someone you’ve known for a long time, either the person’s importance in your life fades or your love for the person deepens or multiplies many times over. Either way, feelings won’t remain the same.

60 life lessons part 14

711When someone’s job merely exists because there is a problem ,he/she will try everything possible not to find a solution and will try to put all hurdles before anyone who tries to find a solution.

eg

If bureaucracy is known for inefficiency and corruption, anyone attempting to solve it will become entangled in bureaucracy itself.

712 When you are a problem ,you will avoid the solution, and when you are the solution, you will take the problem head on.

713 Starting or building new things always takes an incredible amount of hard work and sacrifice, but once initial hurdles are crossed and momentum starts to build in our favour , many things get sorted out eventually to keep things moving with less resistance.

714 There is always a non-linear growth when different chains are connected to each other. For example, word-of-mouth and grapevine spread like wildfire.

715 If you can see something which others can’t ,either they made themselves intentionally blind and ignorant about it or you have a special trait that allows you to see things deep beyond surface levels.

716 Knowing what not to do in life makes figuring out what to do easier as you don’t have to get entangled in unnecessary problems that lead to confusion.

717 The world is built in such a way that very few things are absolute and almost all things are relative. The space for absolutes is tiny in an ocean of relative worlds.

718 Others’ safety will only be a priority for you when your safety is also at stake with their danger or you have a high sense of social responsibility. Otherwise, you will rarely dive in to protect others.

719 Reflections help you realise what went wrong, and action takes the wrong head on and makes it right.

720 Thunderstorms cannot occur under clear skies. Similarly, a clear thought process cannot induce a volatile temperament.

721 Extreme events are less likely to occur frequently in extreme ways, as reversion to the mean occurs at some point. But moderate events have a higher probability of happening in an extreme or moderate way as space to fluctuate is wide open.

722 Create a better perception of yourself in your own eyes first, and that will reflect in others’ eyes too.

723 When you move forward without worrying about how much time it would take to achieve reasonable success, then you have got a robust mindset which deserves to get all the success .

724 If one doesn’t control materialistic desires, then those desires will wreak havoc on one’s mental stability. Greed for wealth,assets,fame, etc., cannot be satisfied. It is like walking on an infinite ladder. The more you cover distance, the further the end point moves.

725: If a person can face personal and financial loss without becoming overwhelmed by emotion, he or she has achieved exceptional mental toughness, resilience, and stability.

726 If a loved one stays by your side throughout a difficult time and stays through the healing process, these connections must be unquestionably treasured for all time.

727 Although scars are part of life, they should not be so deep that they leave an imprint after your death.

728 No matter how much a person dyes his hair, he cannot hide his age for long. Likewise, no matter how much one tries to fake, one cannot conceal one’s original character for long.

729 People in power use all sorts of manipulation to distort reality. But reality doesn’t go completely dark entirely. If you suppress it from one side, it resurfaces from another side and strikes directly in your face.

730 Dealing with stress with alcohol and smoking is like trying to put out the fire in the building with a bucket of water. It doesn’t matter how much it feels right to you, the condition remains the same.

Taking the right measure and taking a measure that one thinks is right is very different.

731 When someone helps or donates to others only to seek limelight, then his/her actions and intentions don’t complement each other, and such actions are usually short-lived, and such people are situation-dependent opportunists.

732 A moment of courage in a moment of crisis is always remembered.

733 It is easier for a crook to make an honest person follow the path of dishonesty, but it will be a lot tougher to convince a crook to follow the path of honesty.

734 A person can go from an ordered state to a disordered state fairly easily, but to return to an ordered state from a disordered state is an uphill battle.

735 When no one seems good to you, you also become good for no one.

736 When we know too much about something that is unimportant and too little about something that is relevant and significant, we have a misplaced priority.

737 The relationship in which you have to explain each of your actions every time is like being in prison. The breath of fresh air won’t come in unless you walk out.

738 Before you praise your employer too much to maintain your status among the people you hang out with, think about how much your employer has praised your work in public promoting products or services for the company.

739 In our rage, we rarely forget the person who did not fulfil our demand, but we conveniently forget the person who has fulfilled all of our wishes.

Anger unknowingly suppresses your sweet side of humility. Don’t fall into the trap of anger.

740 If a liar says he doesn’t want to hear anything but the truth, he should either laugh at himself or allow others to laugh at him.

741 One-sided conversations only engage listeners’ attention when either presenter presents unknown, new, exciting facts that make everyone curious and find them worth digging into; or when all the facts presented are so incorrect that they put the listener in a state of shock and they feel tempted to counter the facts presented.

Obvious facts go unnoticed or unheard all the time.

742 The bright smiles of others can melt away your frustration in an instant. Similarly, angry, hot faces can spike existing frustration too quickly.

743 Faking happiness when we are not happy is an insult to the inner soul, which only wants you to act in accordance with your current feelings.

745: When people pretend to be smarter than they are, they claim to understand things that they have barely grasped, and when they fail the litmus test, the gap between what they proclaim and what they actually understand is easily detected.

746 When you keep repeating the same mistake, either you have not reflected on what caused that particular mistake or you are too tempted to try the same things in the same way, completely ignoring the previous error, considering it to be an error by chance.

747 Modernism has changed the way we live but hasn’t changed the way we experience things. We have been experiencing the same basic human emotions for thousands of years, and we will continue to do so for centuries to come.

748 Popularity works both ways. People help you reach sky high, even with your smallest of victories. You become the centre of attention wherever you go. Your reach and influence are large ,quick and magnetic.

It can also pull you down, even due to the slightest negative rumour. Others may make you the target of slanderous gossip in which they vent their personal frustrations by abusing you.

749 There are so many ideas floating around, but you take an interest in only some of those. You understand those, even a little. You accept them, even a little. You implement them, even a little. You make it work, even a little.

750 Instead of abrupt disruption, if you want to remove anything from your life(bad habits, bad people, negative thinking, etc), go for a slow end. So the gut-wrenching feeling of instability and incompleteness does not cloud your mind during the process of removal.

751 Too many are busy doing too many things without realising what they are really good at.

752 When you think you can play foul without anyone noticing you, you realise you become blind when everyone starts noticing you.

753 In idleness, we feel we have infinite time, but in a fast-paced world, we realise we have no time.

754 Being an audience in a competition while wishing to be part of it is worse. Playing in a competition and feeling sad after losing is worse. Playing a competition and winning is good. Playing a competition without worrying about the result is better. Not playing in a competition and not being interested in watching the outcome of any competition is best.

755 When a bullshit story can be projected as a good story, a good story can also be presented in a bullshit way. Manipulation occurs in both directions and is not restricted to one.

756 If you have more of something than usually required, then less of it will be used optimally and more of it will be frantically wasted.

757 The sun represents bright light and the shadow represents darkness, but the shadow in sunlight demonstrates how darker days are not forgotten even on bright and shiny days. In contrast, the sunlight in shadow demonstrates how bright light always triumphs over darkness.

758 Goals are easier to achieve when there is a target, but when we get obsessed and stressed out about targets, goal itself becomes baggage.

759 In any landmark incident, the one who starts it or because of whom the incident started is fondly remembered, the majority who take part or are forced to participate in it are forgotten, and the one who analyses and presents the background and details of the incident without distortion to a broader audience is greatly appreciated.

760 Popularity without merit is fragile and undeserving, and merit with no popularity is disappointing and punishing.

761 When you argue without knowing the true subject of your argument, your argument dies before it even begins.

762 Your victories may give you a feeling of success, but complete success isn’t dependent on victory alone. Without even a single victory, a person can be successful in their own and others’ eyes.

762 When needs and demands keep rising with higher expectations, then it is difficult to feel contented as restlessness will always be overpowering.

763 When the same things need to be repeated to the same person multiple times, either he doesn’t hold you as an important person or what you are saying doesn’t seem important enough to get their complete attention.

764 Technology has made us so addicted that even five minutes without digital engagement causes panic and anxiety attacks on all fronts.

765 The person who makes you feel important automatically becomes important to you without indulging in any background check.

766 Backstabbing someone who has no grudges or malice against you requires a high level of inhumanity.

767 One minute of stillness can teach certain things that a thousand hours of non-stop busyness can’t.

768 Drawing people’s attention once is no miracle, but drawing it repeatedly with your craft is a stroke of genius.

769 Small fight with a person : first time is a power show, second time is a warning, multiple time is an explosion as many small fight with same person can snowball into ferociously intense one with potential danger of loss of complete control and maximum physical assault and damage on both side.

770 Yesterday’s events shouldn’t be dragged to the present, and present events shouldn’t be extrapolated to the future. Nothing is permanent. Take it as it comes.

50 Life lessons part 13

661 Some people are dead to you while they are alive, and some are alive in your heart while they have died long ago. The nature of relationships you share with others has a deep impact on your heart and mind.

662 No matter how many games you play, you have to win some to make it memorable. Players are not remembered, only winners are.

663 Consistent thought becomes challenging, like consistent behaviour, as different situations require different versions of you.

664 Wherever you have made an entry, you have to exit at some point. You may stay for an extended period of time; you may not want to leave; others may wish to see you stay indefinitely; but departure is unavoidable.No “one place” solely belongs to you, only the chain of events you are part of.

You make your entry after someone goes, someone else makes an entry after your exit, and the process continues.

665 If you have no idea where things are heading, you have no business in telling others what one should do next.

666 If others don’t know what they want, help them figure it out rather than putting it into their heads what “you” want.

667 Everyone has their own way of life. They are going to live the life they want to live. You don’t need to copy them. Neither do you have to develop a distaste for them. Embrace others’ lives as well as your own in an equally respectful way.

668 Always be sceptical of optimism built out of optimism. It’s like a bubble that flies to some extent before bursting when you want it to fly further.

669 There is a difference between feeling foolish and acting foolish. In feeling foolish, you are giving yourself scope for improvement, and in acting foolish, you are creating a problem for yourself by reinforcing a habit again and again with no added benefit.

670. Anything that forces you to give up your freedom and independence for a better life prospect is not worth pursuing or appreciating.

671 Any problem that is being approached with “why is it happening?” And investigating “what led to what?” rather than harping for a solution from the very beginning is always a clever and smart way to go, as knowledge of the background always helps in guiding a forward path.

672 You cannot expect to hit a bulls-eye while throwing darts in the dark. Similarly, you cannot make your life memorable and inspiring if you are directionless.

673 There is a difference between “want” and “can”.

“Want” means uncontrolled dreaming while sleeping, and “can” means a dream that can’t let you sleep and keeps you awake for powerful action.

674 You will keep surrendering yourself to others’ priorities, forgetting your own, if your priorities are unclear. By following others’ priorities, you will train your mind to follow their priorities instead of your own.

675 Before embarking on making a difference in the world, ask these questions:

How is it to be done?

Why is it required to be done?

What resources and capabilities are required to get it done?

When questions become clearer in your mind, the answers that you arrive at will not look confused.

676 Things that the impatient eye misses will be found by the patient and waiting eye in the same place where they were previously searched.

677: There is no guarantee that something bad that has happened in the past will happen again in the future.Past outcomes have no relevance in deciding present and future outcomes unless the mindset and results of the past are intentionally dragged to the future to make yourself the culprit of your crime.

678 Nobody can turn you from good to bad but yourself.

Nobody but you can make you go from bad to good but yourself.

Blaming others or finding an excuse for your downfall and praying to God for your rise and upswing journey is a characteristic of a weak mind who wants to shift all his responsibilities to others.

679 If someone is not ready to ditch past perceptions about you and doesn’t want to see you with fresh eyes, then preconceived bias will always exist in that person and no meaningful and open conversation can ever be had.

680 Objective thinking without bias can only come with learning, knowledge, and experience, but there is no guarantee that all those learned , experienced, and knowledgeable resort to objective thinking without herd mentality and biassed pursuit.

681 All mindless pursuits in life stem from the inability to tolerate boredom and loneliness, or from the desire to impress others for no and vague reasons.

682 You are not better than others, nor are you worse.You are what you are — and you need to accept, think, live, and move on with it.

683 Getting alms with others’ will is nice, but forcibly asking for alms against others’ will is a sin.

684. Pretending to help without providing any assistance vs. providing all assistance without pretending distinguishes fake from real, casual from committed, deceptive from trustworthy.

685 What is good for individual may not be good for society as selfishness of one can cause thousand cuts in others but what is good for society may eventually percolate down to individual in nicer way.

686 When you try to hide something from someone, instead of diverting their attention, you generate more curiosity in them and they get more focused on finding out about hidden things.

687 If you show your weakness to the right people, you will get lots of guidance for improvement, but if you show it to the wrong people, they will get lots of fodder for nonsense gossip where your weakness serves as the focal point.

688 Too much engagement in daily activities without dedicating some time to building up your inner thought process is detrimental as you will always be drowned by short-term work or events without building a big picture perspective and eventually not be able to expand your horizons.

689 A touch of love from a person can win over hatred from thousands of people. Love wins over hate any time.

690 Getting ideas is good, but the details are a beast. Your ideas can be copied ,but the details one carries out for the execution of an idea cannot be copied. The path followed here will vary from person to person.

691 Role models never feel the need to advertise themselves to project themselves better than others. Their actions, work, and duties define them and pull many others towards them.

692: In a society where a few have more privileges and rights than many, exploitation of the excluded is unavoidable.

693 Everywhere, abuse of power to suppress people is more prevalent than use of power to uplift people.

694 Time will always defeat you, and nature will always defeat you if you go against them. Sometimes wisdom lies in acknowledging defeat and stopping fighting the lost battles ,instead starting over to fight new battles with renewed vigour.

695 Grave problems often storm into our lives from the areas we least expect them to come from.

696 If one tries to cover up another’s success to flaunt his own success, then people will become less interested in the value of success. They will become more interested in the selfishness and narrow-mindedness of a person.

697. When someone produces outstanding results while making things appear easy, he either has a God-given talent or his hard work and commitment are unrivaled.

698. You have everything to lose if you are afraid to lose, and nothing to lose if you accept loss as a natural part of life.

699 I have no reason to learn more about you and your whereabouts when you have every reason to avoid me without any reason.

700 When you have cried enough in your life, make life cry for you once as a final blow from your side.

701 When you keep on doing something , even after assuring others that you will not do it further, it means you are addicted to it. If it is a bad one, it will make you pay a heavy price, but if it is a good one, the price paid will be worth every penny.

702 If someone is judging you by your appearance, then their smile cannot hide the dark thoughts that are permeating their mindset.

703 Your probability of getting duped by a sophisticated literate person who forcibly sells their product/services(which has zero benefit) with their overfriendly nature is higher than that of an illiterate thief .

The former can attack your lifelong savings in your bank account, but the latter will later seize your possessions that are only physically available at that moment.

704 When you are flooded with emotions, never drag your conversation too long, where you can spill too much of your secret, which you will regret later.

705 The more serious the subject, the less interest most people show, and pointless debate always gets the most attention.You cannot engage in serious topics with a group of people who want mostly entertainment.

706 If in order to do something requires the approval of many authorities, involving many people, then the following possibilities are

a-end product/version that deviates far too much from the original thought prototype

b-The end product/version will never see the light of day as it will be buried under the heavy weight of many restrictions.

c-Embroiled in rampant corruption where everyone takes their piece of cake before granting permission.

707 If one changes their preference from time to time very frequently, then consistent decision making weakens and focus on the project from beginning to end fades away as many different engaging things come in between to distract attention.

708 The path of least resistance remains the preferred choice of many, but after travelling for a while, when the path becomes so crowded that you don’t find any space to move further, the earlier easy ride becomes a source of disadvantage.

709 The bitterness of loss always lingers in the mind longer than the sweetness of gain.

710: The longer you stick with something, the more difficult it will be to abandon it when it no longer serves a purpose or when the facts change.

50 Life lessons Part 12

611 People who assume that others will spend time with them as and when they ask for it must also realize that others’ time is just as valuable as their own. Without a basic understanding of this, their demand will mostly be rejected.

612 If you are constantly obsessed with results before starting anything, you will neither be able to start nor have any results in your hands.

613: Too much planning before working often leads to insufficient or no work after planning.

614 If you are rude to others for no reason, others will avoid or ignore you for every reason.

615 Don’t curse yourself that you couldn’t become like others, but curse yourself. Why did the thought of becoming like others ever cross your mind ? And why can’t you be yourself first and last?

616 Your dream may or may not assist you in achieving your goals, but it will undoubtedly aid you in avoiding situations that you’d never want to be part of.

617 If you love something, you will find it beautiful amidst everything, and if you hate something, you will find its fault even if there is nothing.

618 You have every chance to get swindled and fooled by smooth talkers. Think twice before agreeing to any of their demands.

619 Never pretend to assist someone who you are unable to assist for whatever reason. Instead of relieving them from their pain, you are unknowingly adding salt to their injury.

620 When someone has a poisonous mindset and engages in poisonous behavior, they can’t see anything positive and find solace in destroying everything.

621 Protecting the independence and integrity of your own territory is essential for anyone, from man to animal. Any hint of danger will make everyone alert to fight tooth and nail against any kind of danger from any direction.

No one will give up control of their territory easily, and that’s why any mild attack rages into a furious attack in no time.

622 The more you ask your close ones not to spill beans about your personal affair, the more they will have the urge to reveal it to others by passing your earnest request to make it a topic of gossip and fun.

623 Your thousand failures can be easily overshadowed by one decent success among those who don’t know you personally, but even your thousand successes won’t make someone forget about your failure who knows you personally and can’t stand you as a person.

624 Ideas and products/services that come out of it that are not helping mankind and nature should not be encouraged to spread as it can easily be the source of many destabilisations, which can never be the first and preferred choice of any.

625 The less time you spend on discovering and learning about others, the better it is. The more time you spend on discovering your inner self, the better it is.

626 Even with no incentive, people will go where they see value and try to stay there to grab an opportunity, and even with all incentive, people will stop , rethink, and not go far away if they see no value in pursuing it.

627 If some decision is not working, ask yourself why? So, to prevent the same error from happening again, if some decision is working, ask why?, so you can make it work again and again.

One-time success or failure is easily forgotten when it gets repeated and compounded over a period of time. That’s what makes a difference of making you or breaking you strongly.

628 The right amount of salt enhances the flavour of food, but when we taste the salt in sea water, it tastes awful. Similarly, laughter improves our health, but when we use the same laughter to make others’ misfortune, it looks terrible from every angle.

629 When the restlessness of man lies in demanding too many things from life, either he ends up getting nothing or he ends up being confused about what he really wants in life.

630 Your authority lies in mastering your craft skilfully, not dictating others to try to gain control over them.

631 The best part of your true work is created during times of dullness, not during periods of excitement.

632 Beautiful thoughts come to your mind all of a sudden, out of nowhere. No amount of force effort can make this happen, even with its full strength.

633 If tiny changes don’t make any difference in your life, then big changes won’t either.

634 Agreement with someone doesn’t mean that our thought processes work similarly; it only means that our opinion on this issue has somewhat converged.

635 Never pick up work with two hands when the same work can be done with one hand, repeated twice in a short period of time. Getting yourself overloaded and exhausted too early too quickly is not a hallmark of a long-term fighter.

636 Everything has a way of being relevant at some point in time, whether through force, deception, chance, or natural means. Which one you choose is entirely up to you.

637 Anything you have experienced may not be necessary that you have understood. Anything you have understood may not be necessary that you have experienced.

638 It is easy to refute others’ answers but equally painful to search for your own answer that can stand the test of time. That’s why most people engage in a futile world of useless debate, and wise ones silently stay away from it.

639 Many can spend their life finding fault in others. It is easy. But the true character of man lies in walking shoulder to shoulder to understand someone’s fault, correct the fault, and bring to the table many potential solutions to help avoid the fault later.

640 In chasing new things for a better future, we fall in love with things of the past by constantly reminiscing about them.

641 One who considers themselves to be the centre of attraction either has an immense urge to be recognised or has many proven skills to magnetically pull others’ attention.

642 One who never does anything is always under the impression that there is little that can be done, whereas one who does things believes that everything can be redone in a better way.

643 The one who never acknowledges others’ efforts always ends up being shamelessly abused by everyone else.

644 Your level of happiness lies with your level of contentment, and your level of contentment lies with the level of adjustment you make to the changing needs of the situation.

645 Whether you are a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small pond, if you play dirty ,your escape won’t be easy and someone or other will catch you to give you the test of your own medicine.

646 When addressable opportunity is huge, don’t fight with someone for the same spot, because when there is so much empty, unoccupied yet fertile ground there ,why go to an already crowded place where there is little to no juice left to explore on your own?

647 If you are playing the game of first being served first, then this game has already been played by many, won by many, and lost by many. Play the game where your timing doesn’t matter, but your substance and uniqueness matter to make a mark.

648 The saying of a ‘one-time opportunity is misleading’ because there can be multiple amazing opportunities spread across different phases of life. You have to be equally enthusiastic about different opportunities that come at different times. Never start languishing after missing the first few.

649 All of the things we couldn’t get and cried about in the past look silly when viewed from the present. So many things get swallowed with the passage of time without making much difference or impact in personal life.

650 You don’t know what you don’t know; you don’t change your answer due to others’ insults, but you can change your answer when others make an effort to help you gain an understanding of it, which eventually leads to an appropriate answer.

651 Be your own missile; start on your own with the ignition of resolute will, launch without fear, travel through turbulent air without deviation, and reach your destination using laser focus navigation.

652 Let others’ ideas of success for you be their treasure to keep for themselves.Your crown, your treasure, will be decided by no one other than you based on your terms.

653 Asking for little when you deserve more is an insult to your skill, which you have honed and nurtured for days in and days out, and it requires proper incentives for further grooming.

654 The urge to lie comes from the urge to hide something, and the urge to hide reflects that one is more inclined to present the positive side of the coin while suppressing the negative side to make things more acceptable.

655 Anything achievable doesn’t mean it is easy, and anything easy does not mean it doesn’t require any effort. If one is unable to put even the minimum effort in order to get things, then nothing much can be said or done.

656 Others may trick you into doing things you shouldn’t have done in the first place in order to keep them safe and push you into the red zone, so the entire blame can be shifted to you if something goes wrong while they conveniently avoid all responsibilities.

Never say ‘yes’ immediately to another person’s request. Alertness of mind is crucial to save yourself from the trap of others’ foul play .

657 When you pace yourself in a fast-paced world, time appears to vanish in thin air in an instant, but when you slow yourself down, time also appears to move slowly.

658 The act of conversation becomes futile when you talk about everything but conveniently suppress the most important thing that is turning your insides upside down.

659 When success stands on another success, it strengthens you like a solid stone, but when one misery comes after another misery, it makes you fragile like glass, which may get broken even with the slightest impact.

660 Real happiness cannot be communicated since it cannot be stated in words; rather, it only has a tinkling impact inside. Only those moments of happiness that are deemed to be joyous by others can be shared.

50 life lessons part 11

560 Using others’ failures as an excuse for your own failure is foolish. Instead of hiding behind the failures of others, acknowledge your own shortcomings. Otherwise, how will you improve?

561 The person who realises how valuable walking is for generating ideas and solving deep problems will never be tempted to adopt a sedentary lifestyle.

562 Building trust in someone is a process that happens naturally and slowly as one spends time with others and builds confidence in them as a person.

You cannot earn the trust of someone by simply begging in front of them to trust you.

563 As long as people don’t want to know about you, don’t get the urge to talk about you because your words will get lost in midway before reaching someone’s ears.

564 Even as a person grows to adulthood and ages, the child within never leaves. It is suppressed to not look weird in front of others.

565 Truth is like a brave warrior. One who goes to the battlefield without fear fights till its last breath, but if it doesn’t get back up from behind, it will be crushed and pulled apart by a group of rivals. A lone warrior can put up a fight up to a point, but beyond that, his power gets neutralised.

566 When a complicated topic is conveyed in a complicated way, the net result is zero. Neither the speaker clearly explains what he is talking about, nor does the listener fully understand what they are listening to.

567 If anything you say needs to be overexplained to others, then it means either the person doesn’t have basic knowledge of the topic you are talking about, or the person has a biassed or contradictory thought process which is restricting him from accepting others’ views.

568 Giving too many details about yourself in the first few meetings may look good in the short term, but it does not work well in the long term because the person has all the ideas about you and there is little room for an element of surprise, which is required for a person to be called interesting.

569 What others think about you is their problem. Don’t make it yours. They may have lots of free time to analyse you. But you must focus on your own problems so that you cannot shift them to others. Spend your time and energy on valuable problems that are worth paying attention to.

Our time is limited, so the selection of problems that we want to think about and solve should also be limited.

570 Encroaching on others’ territory despite clear signs of no encroachment is a fatal mistake. Once the response becomes furious and a ravaging attack comes your way, there is little chance to defend with no armour in hand, and you won’t be able to escape before resorting to serious damage.

When you don’t have any serious business in another territory, stay away.

571The depth of darkness grows stronger when you stop searching for light after struggle and defeat.

572 Strong and sturdy trees that are grown out of seeds are always visible to the human eye, but the seeds that shaped their growth are always buried beneath the ground.

Similarly, the foundations of learning and teaching that shape your growth will never be visible to others, but these things are the driving forces that enable you to stand tall and strong.

573 An act of progress always brings comfort, but a life of comfort never brings a sign of progress.

574 Thoughts that don’t come naturally will always find their existence for a shorter period of time and will often be forgotten when needed.

575 The roads that you followed didn’t become good due to your participation, and the roads that you avoided didn’t become bad due to your non-participation.

The choices that you are proud of don’t necessarily make others also feel proud by following the same choice.

576 Many live their lives to the best of their abilities, but only a few are remembered. But one who is remembered never lived life to the best of their abilities.

577 Learn to stop when you are moving fast but don’t know where you are moving . Sometimes, high speed with no direction may cause you to enter a zone where there is a high chance of a fatal accident.

578 Convincing others by saying “tried & tested” doesn’t mean trying beyond its usage and testing beyond its limit. In either way, one gets broken piece.

579. The more you overthink, the deeper you sink into a sea of meaningless thoughts.

580 Like waves, people’s natures remain pleasant in shallow water, but they become ferocious in deep water. As long as people follow the philosophy of “live and let live”, there is no problem, but when one starts to encroach on a private affair without mutual consent, it takes no time for an individual to turn from a pleasant personality to a ferocious personality in self-defence.

581 A person’s ego not only becomes its own enemy as it takes away inner peace but also attracts enemies from outside.

582 All cannot convert information to knowledge and knowledge to wisdom. Only a few can, and the ones who do make a mark on their lives.

583: The traditional knife, which is known for its sharpness, dulls when it comes into frequent contact with hard material.Similarly, the class of a person gets eroded by engaging in trash talk frequently.

584 Habits are easier to inculcate when you do not have many options to choose from. You will follow it knowingly or unknowingly in order to avoid being idle ,as idleness is itself a punishment for many.

585: When your house is on fire, crawling like a caterpillar is not an option, and moving at lightning speed is not advisable when the house is built from the ground up.

586 Having fun while doing work doesn’t mean one is taking things lightly, but it is done to restore focus that gets lost due to absenteeism and drudgery at work.

587 People will keep fighting with each other as long as the chain of needs and wants keeps governing their lives.

588 Clearly stating “NO” is always difficult since the possibility of hurting others is high. However, a clear NO always weighs heavier than a vague YES, which stands on high hopes but no action.

589 Words are powerful weapons. If they strike the right chord with others, they can change others’ lives in meaningful ways. If they are misunderstood or spread in the wrong way, they can negatively impact your life.

590 Effective thinking can only happen when we think about one thing at a time. When we start thinking about everything at a time, we end up thinking nothing.

Our body only functions andmovese well when all its parts are joined and integrated. It cannot function with different parts moving at different places.

591 There is a good probability that you will forget about an important project if you put it off and plan to finish it later, since your mind will be engaged with a flurry of more recent assignments and you won’t have time to go back and complete the crucial one.

592 The person who lends money to others never forgets it. Regardless of how much the borrower plays tricks on him, either by avoiding him or acting extra sweet to him. The lender will always curse the borrower until the loan is fully repaid.

The lender not asking for repayment aggressively doesn’t mean he has forgotten about it, but a gentle reminder that the borrower should pay back as a duty, not as a favour.

593 Hubris and ego, which is lost in its own abyss, can never march down the path of greatness.

594 Order can only be brought into work when work is done quietly without much fuss. Opening the work for unnecessary attention before finishing it brings disordered chaos that takes away focus and seriousness from work and must be avoided at any cost.

595 Seeking entertainment by spreading bad words is like polluting water by throwing garbage. Things that you started as fun will end up harming you eventually.

596. A goal that you decide and set for yourself will keep you more motivated than a goal that someone else decides for you.

597. Avoid speaking on topics about which you are unfamiliar, and you will save yourself from many unnecessary attacks.Play on your strength rather than exposing vulnerabilities unnecessarily.

598 People’s tastes and choices change at lightning fast speed when they are flooded with too many options .

Anything which people find attractive and praiseworthy one moment becomes dull and boring the next moment. The fickle-minded nature of humans doesn’t allow them to be satisfied with any one thing for long.

599 When you are in the process of creating something like a book, art, products, services, companies, etc that has a high degree of originality, it will always take time, as the most effective results are often produced when things move with a natural flow. Anything involving novelty cannot be rushed, and only imitations can be produced quickly.

600 No wise person takes others’ advice at face value without verifying it on their own. An independent mind, which is a mark of wisdom, always carries an element of suspicion in its head.

601Emotions can change very quickly. That’s why guiding life with too many emotions is like playing with fire.

602 If hype is created for you and you live up to the hype, then you are setting the stage for something big and extraordinary to happen your way.

603 News channels and newspapers, which were once considered sources of knowledge, have devolved into dens of propaganda, biased information, and useless chaos.

The earlier you understand that these add no value to your life, the better you will be able to think in an unbiased and objective way.

604 The practise of making others slaves at gunpoint was employed by many powerful men in the past. When power shifts and the gun is pointed the opposite way, the consequences remain catastrophic with no opportunity to escape, no moment of sympathy, and more chances for vengeance.

You have to lie often to be in the good books of others. But to be on good terms with yourself, you have to figure out what made you lie.

606 Many valuable things have been written, many valuable speeches have been delivered, and many significant incidents have occurred in the past.

But when these are still repeated ,it is treated as something new ,something happening for the first time. People have no time to look at the lessons of history. They don’t care about learning from the past. That is why history keeps repeating and keeps shocking us.

607 Money made too quickly, too quickly beyond your ability, will be lost too quickly, too easily, and without your knowledge.

608 When others’ demands become unreasonable, you have to stop entertaining them. Without putting a stop to it, either they will bankrupt you (intellectually,financially) or they will get power to control you at their will.

609 If someone is so immersed in his happiness that he becomes ignorant or insensitive to others’ sorrow, then very few will be happy with him.

610. A defeated person remains silent because he has nothing to prove to the world. But his silence is powerful as it allows him to guide life from his own perspective without being polluted by the perspective of society.

50 life lessons part 10

511 When you are happy, you want to pull your sad moments closer to your heart, but when you are sad, you want to push and distance yourself from your past happier moments.

512 If everything had been achieved by you in your 1st attempt and there was no struggle ,then motivation and hunger might not run for a long time and life would be pretty boring.

513 Any friend who reminds you of past setbacks and misfortune in any argumentative conversation is masking their self-ego and devilish behaviour in the guise of fake kindness and sweetness from the front, and the earlier you move away from them, the better it is.

514 Others’ conclusion that some work is better than others is ridiculous and doubtful as these consensus are made by herds who themselves are bankrupt in their thinking and also don’t have meaningful things to do. That’s why they indulge in nonsensical exercise.

515 If someone has a horrific childhood past, then she cannot fully enjoy the future. Some element of sadness is always hidden in the spring of happiness.

516 If the root is crooked, the branches cannot be straight; similarly, if a child’s negative attitude was promoted, one may anticipate some hint of mischief in his behaviour as an adult.

517 In spite of the fact that water is essential for our survival, if you play with boiled water, you can get badly hurt. Likewise, close friends and family play an invaluable role in our lives. If you fail to communicate sensitively with them when they are struggling through a difficult emotional time, the relationship could end abruptly.

518 Gaining trust by deceiving others is like driving a fast bike in a narrow lane. When everything is working well, nothing happens, but when a crash occurs, everything that has been put in place up to that point will quickly fall apart in pieces.

519. Every stupid mistake causes us to rethink our approach and ignites our minds to find a way to avoid repeating it.

520 During autumn, trees’ leaves turn from lush green to pale before falling off, but their roots remain intact. Similarly, roots are your mindset and leaves define success and setbacks. If your positive mindset is intact, whether you succeed or fail, your mental strength will not be weakened.

521 The person who talks too much makes it seem as though they are knowledgeable and have many interesting experiences to share, but murky water also appears deep from a distance.

522 Deep thinking cannot happen by hanging around in groups. Socialisation is good for relaxation, but thinking happens in isolation.

523 You cannot change human behaviour so easily. You have to give them tools to work with that are convenient, easy to use, accessible when needed, and have a positive outcome after implementation. These tools serve as a ladder to make perceptible change. No amount of preaching and campaigning can change human behaviour.

524 A person becomes restless and can pay any amount for the things they desperately need, and the same person may conveniently ignore and hesitate to shell out even a penny for the urgent needs of others.

525 The fact that someone close to you is wealthy does not mean he will support you financially if you need it.

The fact that someone close to you is poor does not mean they won’t share whatever they have to help you escape your woes.

526 When the roads are bumpy, you must drive slowly so that the shock absorber of the vehicle works properly and you do not feel the heat. Similarly, when life is going through a rough patch, you must tread carefully so that, in an attempt to overcome smaller problems, you do not create larger problems.

527. Being immersed in colourful nature actively stimulates our hearts and minds. In the same way, interaction with a person with a colourful personality removes drudgery from within.

528 The excitement inside you to begin or continue something must not be buried by others’ ill-conceived taunts. Many will come and say many things, but you have to do what you want to do at any cost.

529 Many dreams remain unmaterialized because short-term fantasy pushes them to such an unimaginable level that focus and pragmatism don’t remain intact and shatter quickly.

530 When a match stick lies untouched , it stays silent, but when it is dragged along a rough surface, it ignites up in the air. Same way, the fire inside us grows stronger when we have some bruises along the way.

531 Keep it brief and to the point if you want them to grasp what you’re saying.

If you want to force others to agree to your point, make it so long that they lose interest in it in the middle and eventually accept it out of boredom rather than due to consensus.

Similar to terms and conditions, the message is so lengthy that we often check the box without ever reading it.

More value can be gained from making others comprehend what you are saying than from getting them to agree with your position.

532 If you can teach others “how to think on their own and act without being influenced by others’,” it is the most beautiful gift you can give to others. Every other outcome in life is a derivative of these two.

533 No matter how far a star is from us, its twinkling and brightness make its presence felt. Similarly, the greatness of others always has a profound impact on us, regardless of how far they are from us.

534 It is impossible to excel at something where interest and passion have not been cultivated from the inside.

535 There are as many ways to fall into a trap as there are to escape it by defeating it. Although the situation may change, hope should never be abandoned since hope remains the first line of defence in any situation.

536. You take a shower not only to remove dirt but also to refresh yourself.Similarly, you take a risk not only to get out of monotony but also to build a new future.

537. Daylight encourages us to leave our homes, while darkness draws us back to the four walls of our homes for safety.Similarly, positive light within us pushes us out of our comfort zone to explore, while negativity pulls us back to the confinement of comfort to help us feel secure.

538 “Drama” looks entertaining but lacks substance. The more you dance to the tune of drama and get absorbed by it, more you walk away from a life of reverence and substance.

539: Thunderstorms come in flashes, but their sound lasts a long time in the ears.Shocks come in spurts, but their impact penetrates deep inside the heart.

540 No matter how good a fruit looks from the outside, unless one peels off its skin, one won’t get its true taste. Similarly, no matter how good an idea looks from the outside, unless it’s put to use, one can never find out how useful it can be.

541 Presentation of valuable thoughts in an aggressive manner loses its value before reaching others’ ears, as delivery of thought matters as much as quality of thought.

542 A person can be hurt many times by talking to another person, but a person can never be hurt by talking to himself or herself.

543 Many things happen when nothing is supposed to happen, and nothing happens when many things are supposed to happen. The earlier you embrace the twists and turns of life, the better shock absorption capacity you will have in your life.

544 Rules are made to bring order ,so there is no chaos. But if you tie your mind with rules, you restrict your power to explore ideas and, eventually, you confine your destiny like a caged bird.

Without some chaos within, you cannot step up into paradigm shift thinking.

545 Others will not internalise your suggestion unless they have first experienced it for themselves.That’s why mistakes of the past get repeated in the present and will get repeated in the future.

546 Working with too many emotions affects the quality of your work. The place where the brain has to rule allows it to rule without any space being invaded by the heart.

547 The difference between questioning and criticising yourself is that questioning allows you to find your fault and work upon it to make a comeback, while criticising makes the existing problem grow bigger to the point of no return.

548 No matter how much clean water there is, if it is stagnant and dirt gets into it, the beauty and cleanliness will quickly fade.

Similar to this, if your life has become stagnant and you have been the target of verbal abuse, your prior successes cannot be protected.

Similar to how moving water soaks up all the dirt, a life that is active and moving responds forcefully to any attack.

549 — One stupid answer from you can persuade others not to follow you, so silence has strength that is unseen, and it plays an important role when required and needed.

550 The ones who don’t like you — let them make no attempt to see you — and the ones whom you don’t like — let you make no attempt to see them.

Forced relationships never work. Relationships have to be smooth in order to show their magic.

551 Some problems in life are complicated and some are simple. If we keep ignoring complicated problems and keep making simpler ones complicated, then lessons learned will be incomplete and there are more chances of screwing things up later.

552 Any crap, no matter how elegantly it is presented, will still be crap. If the core element is flawed, then beautification at the periphery won’t add much value.

553 Others may have a thousand interpretations of you, but you know the best version of yourself. Protect it at all cost.

554 All of the questions you have have already been addressed by learned people in the past. You can read it and learn from it once you get access to it, which might benefit you immensely.

555 What restricts you holds the key to your freedom. By exploring the reasons behind it, you’ll be able to unlock it. Instead of reaching out to someone who has no idea what’s going on inside your head.

Closed doors should be unlocked with the right key to avoid damage. If you hold the wrong keys, doors can only be opened by breaking them, causing more harm in the process.

556. The irony of human beings is that they expect others to be truthful while speaking outright lies with no shame.

They want others to be transparent when they themselves are opaque from the inside out.

They want to meddle in others’ lives without wanting to be meddled in their own.

557 Whenever there is demand for anything, supply will always follow it, and if demand is basic , then the low hanging fruits of opportunity will be grabbed by many. If there is no quality control, excess supply will cause a glut with no takers, rendering it useless quickly.

558 Never explain anything to someone who wants your explanation for entertainment purposes and who uses your explanation to make it a gossip topic to entertain himself and others.

559 — Intelligent people never brag about their intelligence in public.Humility and simplicity are the characteristics of intelligence at its core. Excessive bragging about one’s intelligence will quickly tarnish with time.

560 Giving others’ failure in doing the same thing as an excuse for your own failure is foolishly bad. Reason out your failure by identifying your own shortcomings instead of hiding behind the failures of others. Otherwise, how will you improve?
