TIME TO EXPLORE:

This moment is the right moment to explore. We read substantially and widely too. I personally think, from this moment we can take and do some of the innovative stuff we have. We could do some of the experiment and research too. We all are ready and love to succeed. But, the ‘try factor’ is not enough from our side. In a single shot, I don’t know how it gonna works.

We could not expect this first shot, rather we can work more possibilities with our innovative thoughts. Simultaneously, we need to update too.

What I say is read and act with research and experiments. There is no perfect time. Just collect as much as the resources and do something until it gets good. If things aren’t working out, nothing to worry. Have a plan-B. Or change the methodology of doing the stuff you have.

But never goes down fighting. Keep fighting. Don’t felt bad at the initial point of consequences. It happens, it happens for every successful people too. So what? Who cares?

If you are working on something, I personally think you cannot say things gonna work too smoothly. That’s not the reality. You have to come up and come up. You have to think about several dimensions. Before reaching this point, you should learn widely. One more point, you need to raise critical questions. Those critical questions mould your creative ability. That’s required.

Seek experts.

Write the pros and cons.

Devote enormous time for thinking.

Giving up is not the option.

Draw a conclusion.

Sometimes we feel resources are still not enough. But unless you go and search you aren’t gonna get. If you don’t start at least what you have? Even you have a lot, you never gonna start.

 

With respect.

 

 

5 WAYS TO IMPROVE CRITICAL THINKING:

I wasn’t a very much critical thinker. But, sometimes, I personally feel like, I deliberately I need to think some of the stuff. Usually, I see a lot of Ted talks. Even I have Ted app too. There are several others like ted. In TedEd, I had seen this video on YouTube. So, this is one of the most important videos. I would love to share.

5 ways are:

  1. Formulate your question.
  2. Gather your information.
  3. Apply the information.
  4. Consider the implications.
  5. Explore other points of view.

MY BIRTHDAY MOTIVATION:

I started thinking a lot since morning till now.

I won’t take this day too special. Every birthday, I learn something. Something, can I say karma is teaching me something?

Or

Nature is teaching is something?

Or

My failures are teaching is me something.

Or

Just one more please, the very few people I met in my life, they teaching me a lot.

I agree age is just a number. So far in my experiences, you need to learn to start your passion as soon as. Because you cannot say I will start next year or one fine day.

What I take this birthday motivation is, you need to learn constantly throughout life. You should ready to work every single day. Not for monetary or fame. But, you need self-sustainability. The immediate and important next step is, you need to be ready to be a leader. You must learn to lead people. At some point in your life, If your growth is constant, you must learn to lift others too. Sorry to say, please don’t this approach as a business motive. Learn to do it for service and without publicity too. Karma taught me. Success comes and goes. But, the way you are gonna sculpture your mind, character and health are matters most in your life. I’m not advising too much or saying about my personal story here. Being a start-up writer, I would convert and convey my personal story as a lesson to all my readers. Not too optimistically, rather delivering certain reality, harsh reality, chaotic reality.

There is a difference I could able feel, from last March 20 to this day. I often say success right! I think I’m quite right. Success. That’s actually required. But, you need to take care of your mind, character and health.

Even more deeply, what I would convey is, birthday is like New Year for me too. I just think a lot in these two days in a year. I need to work more. I started agreeing to my mistakes, rather than being arrogant. I was being arrogant. Nothing to say further. But, right now I’m quite happy. I just overcame with few important stuff. Still, yet to overcome a lot.

Thank you almighty,

Thank you, gentleman and gentlewomen.

 

With deep respect.

 

 

45 WAYS TO AVIOD USING THE WORD “VERY”

Once, I got something precious information from writerswrite.co.za. I think this is something we are using often the word “very”. Let’s change.

I gonna paste the source link down below. I highly encourage readers to go further.

Three Telling Quotes About ‘Very’

  1. “Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain
  2. “‘Very’ is the most useless word in the English language and can always come out. More than useless, it is treacherous because it invariably weakens what it is intended to strengthen.” ~Florence King
  3. “So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys – to woo women – and, in that endeavour, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.” ~H. Kleinbaum

10 LESSONS TO LEARN FROM ROMAN EMPEROR MARCUS AURELIUS:

equestrian-statue-of-marcus-aurelius-at-capitoline-museumWhen I started watching some of the philosophical videos on YouTube. Though, I still have misunderstandings about philosophies. I’m still on the way towards learning, understanding and finally, self-realizing. I got few videos about Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius about self-discipline and power of one’s own mind. These videos are still my YouTube offline videos. Even more, I’m too curious to buy Emperor Marcus Aurelius’ books, precisely book name known as ‘Meditations’. I sincerely encourage everyone to deep dive into more.

I’m not gonna say neither luckily nor coincidently. I need to say, a bit law of attraction happens here. As I said to buy this book, but the lessons, I’m gonna re-share are taken from the book Meditations.

So, quite happy.

This post is the very long wait to post. I was thinking about this over half-an-year. I’m thinking about how I could convey in a better manner. Today is a good day to do it. And this is the right time too. No more procrastination.

I just started searching and researching the life lessons of this Roman Emperor.

Few glimpses, I’m would love to re-share. I gonna paste the source link in the down below. I sincerely encourage the readers to visit further.

Marcus Aurelius (121-180AD), also known as ‘the Philosopher’, was Roman emperor from 161-180AD.

He is a widely popular emperor who spent most of his reign on military campaigns. Marcus Aurelius was a wise leader, one of the wisest emperors, and would often sit in his tent to ponder and write.

He was not consumed by fame, power or wealth despite being emperor of the Roman Empire. Marcus concerned himself with all manners of deep questions; such as, how to live a good life, how to endure all that life throws at you and how to be in control of your emotions, amongst other questions. He was a reader and follower of Stoic philosophy. These questions fall under this branch of philosophy.

He had duty and public service to attend to. Yet, when he had the time, he would produce notes and writings on what would later be known as the book Meditations. Marcus Aurelius was a wise and respected emperor during his life. However, his writing is what we remember him for today.

About the Book

Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations is a series of notes, reflections and fragments of his thoughts surrounding Stoicism. During quiet times on his military campaigns, when he could, he would produce these private notes and tackle difficult but important questions.

The ideas in the book are not original but based on existing tenets of Stoic philosophy. Marcus reflected and wrote down his understanding of them. Thus, he left us with very wise and thoughtful ideas about many aspects of life.

Stoicism is a philosophy that teaches emotional stability and resilience so that we can face a challenging, cruel and unpredictable world. It advocates self-control so that we can combat frightening and all too common hardships that may befall us all in our lives. We can withstand these hardships if we are sensible about our expectations of life and reality.

Stoicism is a philosophy that teaches emotional stability and resilience so that we can face a challenging, cruel and unpredictable world. It advocates self-control so that we can combat frightening and all too common hardships that may befall us all in our lives. We can withstand these hardships if we are sensible about our expectations of life and reality.

Stoic philosophy helps us understand that having unrealistic expectations about our lives can cause us deep harm. Instead, we should learn to maintain control of our emotions. We should also be aware that, more often than not, we will have to undergo hard times.

Marcus Aurelius took great heed of these teachings, and much of Meditations urges for acceptance of an unchangeable universe, and the importance of mental strength and calmness when recognising this.

Here are 10 lessons to be learnt from Meditations:

  1. Be a good character, rather than wondering how to be it

“Don’t go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.”

  1. It is your thoughts that determine your well-being and fulfilment

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”

  1. You cannot change what happens in the world, but you can change what you think about it

“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

  1. Be grateful for what you have

“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love …”

  1. Live only and completely in the present

“Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.”

  1. Recognise that bad and unexpected things can happen to you, and you will be prepared for whatever comes your way

“How ridiculous and unrealistic is the man who is astonished at anything that happens in life.”

  1. No feet is too high, and no goal is too out of reach

“Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.”

  1. Stop worrying about what other people think of you

“How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.”

  1. Value the right things in life and your life will have value

“A person’s worth is measured by the worth of what he values.”

  1. No matter what happens to us, we can and will all move on

“Though you break your heart, men will go on as before.”

MY PERSONAL VIEWS ON CORONAVIRUS:

Over the last two days, I could not post in my blog. My sleeping habits impacting on my work. My body starts bit deteriorating. I need to balance the stuff. That’s it.

Quite categorically, I wasn’t felt wired to talk about this kind of issues. I did a bit of research before I started writing this post. More often, I started thinking a lot over the last 5 days. Earlier in my blog posts, I was talking about success. Along with success, you need to take care of your health too.

There is a proverb, I think we might read in our school days or somewhere.

Health is wealth.

This COVID- 19 CORONAVIRUS update was bit differs from my last two WEF and WHO shared posts. I’m writing here not to create propaganda, rather I personally think, we need extreme precautious on our body. Either to fight for any disease or to protect from any diseases.

Today Corona comes, tomorrow any virus could affect us. Everywhere the measures are constantly going on. Still, we, as an individual has to take care of our own body. I knew that it might sound awkward. But, that’s one of the measures that we can take right now. Then we should start taking care of our peoples in and around. Finally, our environment.

Simple habits, we have to do every day, clean our hands quite often, wearing facemasks, consulting doctor least every two weeks once.
