Guaranteed recipes to fail...

There are certain things in this world to which we cannot attach a guarantee card, say happiness, love, friendship, affection, hatred, anger and frustration. All these may be counted as emotions or state of the mind, which may even be temporary .i.e. it can be changed by external forces and incidents. And there are others which come with a guarantee; say the TV that comes with a 5 year guarantee or the refrigerator or the air conditioner or the mobile phone or anything that we get to buy in the market.         Almost all manufactured products are offered a guarantee, be it 5 years or 5000 hours or 2 lakh kilometers. All man-made things can be given a surety, while almost all god given gifts cannot. This is the reason as to why we cannot guarantee we’ll be happy even when we earn $1,000,000,000. Who knows, we might be happier as a poor man.         I have heard people state that successes and failures are states of mind and that we have the ability to switch between success and failu

Relationship is the key...

The most lacking yet the most valued attribute in our life, these days is relationship . Until a few years ago people had the time to be with one another, care for them and fall in love with their personalities. We had the time to stick by our friends in their times of need, so were they with us, during our tough times. A few years back everyone knew you, your family background and we knew them and their family people too. Most of our neighbours were our friends that we didn’t need to have a wall to keep away from them. We loved their company and cheer and they had the freedom to approach us, any time of the day.  Nowadays we’ve isolated ourselves from everyone by building tall fences and locking the gates so that our privacy is not encroached upon, by peeping neighbours. Our work culture is such that not only do we have no time for our family, but we also fail to maintain relationships within our social circle. Due to the restrictions on time we refrain to participate in social acti

Faith can move mountains for real...

Reading through the great holy books of all time and the wonderful message they convey about faith, it sounds much exaggerated when they say “Faith can move mountains”. I simply could not accept that faith could make the impossible, possible, until recently. What changed my perspective was an audio program that pointed out that faith is just not to move mountains but to do a lot of other things as well. Faith is the power to persist . Can u think of a simpler, yet convincing definition than this? Faith is really the power that helps you continue to do what you are doing now. Faith is just not the love of god or the love for god. It is the vitamin that let’s you persevere . We have heard people say that faith can work wonders. Ever wondered how? It is the element that urges you to get out and start hunting for your success. It is the reason why people, in spite of the innumerous rejections and setbacks they face, come back again and perform. It is the reason as to why even when th

Everything that goes down can come up...

Everything that goes up must come down. Yo u must have heard this simple explanation of gravity by Sir. Issac Newton. His discovery of gravitational force was a breakthrou gh in physics since the most elementary laws of physics are based on the so-called gravity. It is the force of gravity that brings any object that is thrown up, back to earth. Now that made me curious of the converse. Could there exist a force that could bring up something that has g one down. It is a real pleasure to study the human mind in view with the laws of physics. My definition of momentu m was a result of such musings. Hopefully you might get excited hearing the mind power equivalent of FORCE. As we discussed earlier, gravity is the force that attracts any object to the center of the earth. Although not felt, gravity is the most powerful force after the force of electrostatic attraction/re pulsion. Now applying the converse of gravitational force to human mind, is there a force that e
