Happiness unlimited:
God given life as a human being has to be lived to the fullest extent since we may not live for ever. This life is for a brief period. The eternal quest of mankind had been to live a happy and contended life. The question arises, as to what is "HAPPINESS". It can be achieved in work, achievements, love and family ties, success, in friends, and spiritualism. Different people choose different paths for happiness.

The secret of happiness lies in work, congenial work, where one can completely absorb himself.
Contended mind experiences the happiness. Happiness is not an object to be sought. It is a state to be induced. Happiness is a rebound from hard and sincere work.

The real life is to love, laughter and work. Rest is rust.

If you are working to your best, and feel happy about what you do, you will have the temperance, self control, diligence, strength of will, content, and a number of such virtues, which the idle will not get.

Think before you talk:
I made it a point from my child hood days, that I should listen more and speak less. This I still continue, even after reaching my first year of the tenth decade of life. I used to tell others that we are bestowed with two ears and one mouth, since it is the intention of the creator, that we should talk less and listen more. The same thing I told my grand daughter, for which she retored, "Thatha, it is not like that. If there is one ear, on one side, you cannot listen what sound is coming from the other side. That is why there are two ears, so that you can hear from left side or right side. Those will do for hearing from front and rear also. The creator did not want to give four ears, since it would become a big design problem for the face. One mouth is enough for speaking and eating.". I was stand still for her logic at the age of 6 years.

Whatever you talk, it should not be a cause of disturbance to others who are listening. It should not hurt others. Your freedom of speech is to be used judiciously to prevent any misunderstanding in the mind of the listener. Words are like darts, which cannot be taken back once, out.

Life is a Tale:
Some times it comes to my mind what Shakespeare has told about life. "Life is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury and signifying nothing". Life is nothing but the time between the time of entry that is birth, and the time of exit, that is death.  Every body knows the truth that once a person is born, there is the inevitable end and it has to be faced. During the period of life one should try to learn, love, and lead a legacy. There is no end to wants and desires. But it is better to have the needs first, and think of wants, desires, and luxuries that can be availed. Contentment in life is a must for any one to lead the life happily. About what constitutes happiness, I shall delve in a later blog. For the present, let me tell, if any one is there to listen, that one should have courage to accept loss or defeat, courage to meet illness or disaster, courage to face danger or death,

There is no point in worrying over things that are not in your reach. Your goals in life should be only SMART.

It had been a very long time since I accessed this, my own blog created, a few years back. Now, it is by accident, I landed on this and my desire to restart the discontinued blog, that would be useful for me and any others who see this.
The adage goes " a person who does not read books, is not at a better advantage, than a person who does not know how to read". So, I took to reading plenty of books. The number of books increasing, I find that my wisdom needed this. I was thinking of the subject material which should interest me at this age. It has come to my mind that the study of mind would be better, which would give me an idea as to what made to behave in the way I have behaved throughout these years. Based on these experiences, I thought I would post blogs in this that would be good deposits of inspirations for the youth of the day. 

Today, the people, especially the youth who form the chunk of the population, are troubled, uncertain, and confused. They are exposed to many unnecessary social problems. They are completely ignorant as to the standards and ideals by which to live. There had been lots of philosophers, orators, leaders, thought provokers, who propounded philosophies,  to give prospective and understanding, to the multitude of masses,we  can cling to and make our lives happy.

Great men are always a greatest company and emulating them, and following their ideas and ideals, is always for our betterment. To name all the great men the world had produced will be futile exercise. Let us take what they said, and ponder whether, they are still maintainable and can be appreciated and followed.

I, landed upon a book called " The indomitable spirit" written by Sri  APJ Abdul Kalam, which  has inspired me to read the books through which he got inspiration, in his child hood.  I thought there is no age limit to get inspired. I thought I would read those books, if I get. One book was "Light from many Lamps" written by " Lillian Eichler Watson". I got the book from flipkart. I thought I would share some of the best said quotes and inspirational sentences. Hence I restarted  this blog. I would post some inspirational paras in this blog. I will be fortunate if someone reads and becomes a better person, than before.
