Why?

The most important question which many of us often ignore in our day to day life is “why?” Whenever we are doing some tasks that could be related to an official project or household tasks or little more personal tasks. Whatever they may be, there is always a way to see the tasks in a little better way by asking this simple yet profound question. When people forget to ask this question and continue working in a more mechanical way like a robot then eventually all the problems like stress, burn outs, lack of improvement, poor performance and so on props up. When Newton was just relaxing under a tree, it is said that an apple fell down over his head and that led him to think of the force of Gravity. If he had missed that opportunity of asking the question ‘why’, he would not have worked on that discovery. So, it does not matter whether it is just a normal incident or a simple task like cleaning kitchen utensils, just start asking the question ‘why?’ It does not mean that you get an answer

How to write a book?

 1 st Step – Content Creation: The most important step is to create a great content for your book which attracts many readers. Decide on number of words to be covered in the book after selecting a topic to write on. Then classify the main topic (book topic) into various sub-topics – chapters so that the number of chapters to be covered in the book is planned. Depending upon the writing speed (number of words per day) set a goal that is the date of finishing book. Say you are planning to write a 50000 words book and your writing speed is 500 words a day then it would need 100 days to finish writing the book. (This is just a rough below average calculation because I wrote this 437 words blog in 30 minutes itself.) 2 nd Step – Hints: Get the content for each and every topic one by one and note down in hints format or “mind mapping” format which can be later developed into an essay format. This step is crucial in the sense you are not wasting time to frame sentences when you are cr

Time!

Time: Time is the one which is the most important entity for those who want to improve themselves. Without managing time effectively no one ever had achieved bigger goals in life. Time is the one which can lead to infinite possibilities. There is a saying that time can heal anything! Are we using our time effectively? Are we using the resource which is equally distributed unlike money among each and every human being? Equal distribution in the sense – it is not that the greatest scientist Abdul Kalam got some extra time per day rather than getting 24 hours, IPhone founder Steve Jobs got little extra time more than others! Everyone ever gets the same 24 hours per day only. Whether we are going to waste the time or taste the fruits, the goals reaped by investing time is totally dependent on how we use the time available. Human beings always have the tendency to be little more time conscious since long back even before watch, clocks were invented. We used some signs of nature like d

Emotion!

The emotions are the basic nature of every living being. Yes, you heard me right! They are not only in human beings. We can simply define emotion as energy in motion. Emotions are the one which decide the direction of our life and also the speed at which we travel considering life as a journey towards our goals. We can even say they are the fuel for running our lives.  Animals do not have the control over their emotions much as humans can do. We have the greatest ability to control or channelize our emotions as well. If we’re able to master our emotions then only we can achieve something bigger in our life. So now the next question arises, how to master/control emotions? We have to understand completely about the emotions if we want to master them.  Make a review every day before going to sleep at night. Just walk through your entire day whatever happened. The emotions arose in you on that particular day. Identify the minute details as well like whether the emotions got kindled b

Way to enjoy your food!

  What do you mean by enjoyment?  When you want to enjoy life with your family, what does it mean?  When you want to enjoy a movie, what does it mean?  When you want to enjoy a song/ music, what does it mean?  Spending time with your family members is enjoying with your family,  spending time in a theater watching movies is enjoying a movie, spending time with your headphones/music system is enjoying music.  In the same way, spending a little more time with food is enjoying your food.  Keeping your food in your mouth for a little longer helps not only enjoy your food but also helps to break down the complex components into simpler things with the help of enzymes in your saliva.  How to keep your food for a little longer?  As we used to swallow as soon as we took the food into the mouth, breaking this habit is crucial!  Make sure you chew your food a little more, for example 32 times (yes your teeth count only ;)) before you swallow.  Swallowing is essential but not necessarily as soon

Love

  Different stages of Love: 1 st stage: This happens with the mother for almost everyone. This is mainly the most natural love which happens in complete innocence. This love is pure as there is no Ego. The child does not feel any separation. It just identifies itself as the one with his/her mother. The bond (cord) still exists mentally although the cord is cut physically. This love is natural and happens by itself and everyone goes through this stage inevitably. This love’s purpose is to ensure survival of the individual. 2 nd stage: This happens during childhood. When the child grows and knows (assumes) that he/she as a separate entity from all others she starts seeing others as others only and when she finds someone of the same age group (or different rarely) helping and or entertaining, she feels to be with him/her for most of the time and starts missing if there is a separation. This is also little pure but immature as the child just needed a companion without any much ex

Self Confidence!

When we know exactly what we can do is self-confidence. If we know our limitations and capabilities exactly up to date then the self confidence is working fine. But what if we do not update our mindset on regular basis. We either wrongly assume that we can do a thing which we really cannot do which is over-confidence and we may assume that we cannot do a thing which we really can do which is called under-confidence. Let us see how to avoid both of these extremes.   SWOT analysis – If we assess our Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat on regular basis then there is high possibility that we have our mindset up to date. As the days go we undergo growth, many changes happen both inside our mind and body. As per the changes the possibility for us to do a thing will also varies every now and then. For example, the same weight which you were not able to lift when you are a 10-year-old kid can be lifted easily by you when you are a 16-18-year-old guy. If we assume the capabilities fr
