Ounces and Tons: RE-START

After a long time once again present here to talk from heart to heart. Right now, I feel pain and pain around me. It's almost like a month I am not feeling good for no reason. The only reason I can think of is that I have put myself in this loop of not giving my best every day. Which is somehow trying to engulf me like Chakravyuh without letting me know the path of breaking it. I have heard people saying giving your best is difficult and sometimes painful too. But now I feel not giving your best or trying your best is much-much more painful. You cannot blame others because it is not their fault, and you cannot either blame yourself because it is unbearable. I waste time on watching comedy to make myself feel good or happy but instead go in much more deeper guilt, remorse and self-doubt. At times I realize I am making mistake and change my track but again demon of not feeling good deep inside, takes over me and I am here again wasting my precious time on something that is not worthy...

SHORT STORY

Hi guys, it's been a long time since I wrote. So today, I am goanna share with you a story which I read somewhere. I really liked it and I  hope you would like it too. CHAPTER ONE I walk down the street. There’s a hole in the sidewalk. It is a very deep hole. I fall in … I am helpless. It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. CHAPTER TWO I walk down the same street. There’s a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in … again. I can’t believe I’m in the same place, but it isn’t my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. CHAPTER THREE I walk down the same street. There’s a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in … it’s a habit, but my eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. CHAPTER FOUR I walk down the same street. There’s a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. CHAPTER FIVE I walk down another street. ..........and the story ends here.......... For those who are wondering about the...

++ Compounding effect ++

“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it.” Albert Einstein Our small, unnoticeable habits make a compounding difference in our life. Our small acts of time management pay us a compound interest in terms of better life and satisfaction for which we had dreamed of...and our small acts of negligence makes us regret for the rest of our life. The choice is ours, because small choices make a huge difference . For example, if I spend 30 minutes in a day on internet without any purpose just scrolling down and down but at the same time if the other person is spending those 30 minutes in improving his/her skills. These 30 minutes will add every day, and one can see the difference after 3 months...and after 2-3 years, I will automatically lend up on trajectory where I didn't want to be, resulting in lifelong regret and dissatisfaction.  So, before understanding and analyzing others we first need to  know ourselves...

What should education really teach ?

Let's first understand  w hat education is.  Is  it about cramming the facts and figures and outpouring the same stuff on exam day or is it about testing our memory who can cram better? Wikipedia defines Education as the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge , skills, values, beliefs, and habits...but did you notice this definition lacks the most important thing! That is training the mind to think.  Have you ever thought, why we study, what is the purpose of education?                                            The answer can be divided into two parts: 1. The individual purpose of education is to develop ourselves to earn money, respect and above it to bring a change within and outside. 2. National purpose of education is to develop individuals who can contribute in nation building by becoming a great leader, scientist, researcher...
