Priceless Lessons A Mother Teaches ….” Think Positive”…!
My mother was the smartest person I’ve ever known, not because she had a fancy job or a high level of education, but because of her experience and wisdom. When I was a little kid she used to share her thoughts, ideas and life lessons with me. I can honestly say I would not have been the person I am today without her.
In an effort to save her words and pass them on to my children, I have written down her snippets of advice and thoughts on life. A few years after my project was done she passed away in her sleep. Today, I want to share some of her inspiring words with you, I hope they will help you as much as they have helped me.
1. Breathe in the future, breathe out the past
No matter where you are or what you’re going through, remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Never expect, assume, or demand anything – just do your best, control what you can, and let go of what you can’t.
2. Others should accept you for who you are
Speak your truth even if your voice shakes and you know it won’t be well-received. You are something beautiful and unique, so if you hold that back, the whole world becomes a little less amazing. Walk your path confidently and proudly – don’t expect anyone else to understand your journey.
3. You are not who you used to be, and that’s okay
People go through many ups and downs in life, and it changes them. You are no different. Your perspective has changed, your likes and dislikes have changed, your political views may have changed, and that is all normal. When people accuse you of changing, just reply by saying: “Of course I’ve changed. That’s what life is all about. I’m still the same person, just stronger and wiser.”
4. Everything that happens helps you grow
Whatever happens, hold on to hope. Learn from everything and don’t be afraid to make the same mistake twice, three times, or as many times as necessary.
5. Life should be simple
Focus on one thing at a time. You don’t have to do everything, and you don’t need to do something every second of your life. Breathe, be present, and do your best – it’s the most anyone, including yourself, could ever hope for.
6. Educate yourself to be happy, not to be rich
There is a big difference between knowing the price of things, and knowing the value of things. In the end, you will come to realize that the best days are the days when you don’t need anything special to make you smile.
7. Always be positive
Your misery or unhappiness is determined not by your circumstances, but by your attitude. Smile at those who want to hurt you – show them that they can’t take away your happiness from you. Your willpower is stronger than you know.
8. Pay close attention to those you care about
When people say “I’m okay,” you need to look them in the eyes, hug them tight, and reply, “I know you’re not”. Don’t be too upset if some people only seem to remember you when they need you, only be upset if they are not there when you need them.
9. Learn how to let go of people
Some people are bad for you, some people need to do things on their own, and some people might need you to teach them a hard lesson. It’s not easy to say goodbye when you don’t want to but you know you need to, it’s for the benefit of both sides.
10. Sometimes getting results means stripping yourself of people that slow you down
As much as you may love them, some people can make it a lot harder for you to reach your goals. Almost everyone will encounter such a person during their life. As you find out who you are and what you want, you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. Keep the wonderful memories you had with them, but move on to achieve your happiness.
11. “I can’t believe I did that”, is much better than, “I wish I did that.”
Don’t live your life trying to impress others. Live it so you’ll impress yourself. If you know you will regret not doing something, just do it. It’s that simple.
12. If you can’t find your happy ending, maybe it’s time to look for a new beginning.
We all fail from time to time, it’s just a part of life. Don’t be stubborn and just accept it. The strongest people out there are the same people who have fought the toughest battles, lost, and moved on to a new beginning.

Message for the Day…”Dharmakshetra and Kurukshetra…”
It is said that King Dhritarashtra asked a question and described the battlefield of Kurukshetra as Dharmakshetra, field of virtue (The Gita begins with King Dhritarashtra asking what his sons and the Pandavas are doing in Kurukshetra). Referring to his sons he says, ‘Mamaka‘ — that is, those to whom I am bound by attachment. Dhritarashtra, in his ignorance, asked a question which really means, what are the thamo and rajo gunas (slothful and passionate qualities), represented by the Kauravas, doing in the battlefield with the Pandavas who representsattvic gunas (pure qualities). This battle is continually being waged, in the body which is the true Dharmakshetra, in Kurukshetra which symbolises the sensory organs. And Lord Krishna in the form of the consciousness or Atma is a witness to this battle all the time.
Image of the Day…Sunrise stripes on Hospital Hill, Zimbabwe…!!!
At about 6.30 on the morning of May 28, 2016,, the sun rising over Mozambique projected some bright orange light through some layers of low cloud hanging in the Mutare Valley to produce a display of alternating light and dark sunrise stripes. One of these struck the summit of the nearby granite Kopje called Hospital Hill and then obliquely descended the slope facing me while narrowing and gradually fading away. The display lasted for just six minutes.
As a tripod was not immediately available, an impromptu series of hand-held camera images was taken using a Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ-60 in sunset scenery mode. Twenty of the most suitable for generating a time-lapse sequence were selected and adjusted in size to obtain good registration before being used to produce a time-lapse movie which loops five times.
A rare combination of light and shade, with Hospital Hill looking as I’ve never seen it before!

படித்ததில் பிடித்தது ….” சொல்பவன் யார் …” ?
கவிஞர் கண்ணதாசன்_ஒரு கல்லூரிக்_
கவியரங்கத்தில் கலந்துகொண்டு கவிதையை
வாசிக்க ஆரம்பித்தார்.
அரங்கத்தில் உற்சாக_ஆரவாரம் எழுந்தது.

வெகுநேரம் பிடித்தது.
கைதட்டல்கள் முடிந்ததும்,
கண்ணதாசன்சொன்னார்,
‘இன்று நான் வாசித்த_கவிதை நான்_

உங்கள் கல்லூரி மாணவர்_ஒருவர் நேற்று_
ஒரு கவிதை எடுத்துக்_கொண்டு வந்து_

அது மிக நன்றாக இருந்தது.
எனவே நான் எழுதிய_கவிதையை அவரை_

ஒரு பிரபலமானவன் முயலுக்கு மூன்று கால்கள்_
மட்டும்தான்_என்று சொன்னாலும் ஆமாம் என்று சொல்லும்_
சமுதாயத்தில் தான்_நாம் வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறோம்..!!

Message for the Day….” Who is the creator of this Universe ….” ?
When you wear a wristwatch, and someone asks where it was manufactured, you will state that it was made by a Swiss company. We have neither seen the Swiss company nor the watch manufacturer, but are using the watch. Did this watch appear miraculously or did someone take time to manufacture this? You agree that the knowledge and process of assembling watches must exist somewhere and we readily accept that some individual has assembled this watch. If a watch has a creator, what about the Universe? Who can create all these things which are so permanent and steady? When we ask such a question, people simply push away the question and say that these are natural. They do not recognise the creator who has created all this. Not to accept the existence of such a creator is to be foolish and hard-headed.

Message for the Day…” We should recognise the great pilgrim centres of our Mind …”
The moment we hear the name of Ganges, we are reminded of the two banks thereof on which are the many centres of pilgrimage, and on which lie the great places of learning. We visualise the great spiritual centres like Benares, Prayag, Rishikesh and Hardwar. In the same manner, we should also recognise the great pilgrim centres of our mind too. Our own intelligence and Antahkarana (inner instruments or senses) are the great pilgrim centres of our body. It is customary that in the holy places of pilgrimage, sacred tasks are performed; and as a consequence thereof, sacred ideas are generated. In the inner body, alongside the life flow of blood, our mind, our Chitta (heart), our Antahkarana, etc., can all be recognised as places where good ideas can be generated.
A Story of Inspiration and a Lesson to learn …
ADVICE TO ——
At the point of death a man, Tom Smith , called his children and after praying for them, he advised them to follow his footsteps so that they can have peace of mind in all that they do.
The youngest child, Immaculate, a female, looked at others and yelled, “Daddy, its unfortunate you are dying without a penny in your bank account, personally, I can’t emulate you. Other father’s that you tag as being corrupt, thieves of public funds left houses and properties for their children; even this house we live in is a rented apartment, sorry, i can’t emulate you, just go, let’s chart our own course, let’s paddle our own canoe.” Few moments later, their father gave up the spirit.
Three years later, Immaculate went for an interview in a multinational company. The interview panel had already penciled down a candidate for the highly coveted post but wanted to complete the formality of interviewing all applicants on the list. As soon as Immaculate sat before the interview panel, the Chairman of the committee asked, “Which Smith is yours” and Immaculate replied, “I am Immaculate Smith. My Dad Tom Smith is now late he died a poor man…”
But the Chairman cuts in, “O my God, you are Tom Smith’s daughter? ” He turned to other members and said “This Smith man was the one that signed my membership form into the Institute of Chartered Administrators and his recommendation earned me where I am today. He did all these free. I didn’t even know his address, he never knew me from Adam. He just did it for me.”
He turned to Immaculate, I have no question for you, consider yourself as having gotten this job, resume tomorrow, your letter will be waiting for you.
Immaculate Smith became the Corporate Affairs Manager of the company with two cars, one official and one for private use, attached to the office, with a duplex and two drivers and a salary of £100,000 per month excluding allowances and other costs when she travelled outside England.
After two years of working in the company, the Group Managing Director of the company came from America to announce his intention to resign and needed a replacement. A personality with high integrity was sought after, again the company’s Consultant nominated Immaculate Smith.
In an interview, she was asked the secret of her success and the sudden sky rocketing profile and in tears, she replied, my Daddy paved these ways for me. It was after he died that I knew that he was financially poor but stinkingly rich in integrity, discipline and honesty.
She was asked again, why she is weeping since she is no longer a kid as to miss her dad still after a long time. She replied, “At the point of death, I insulted my dad for being an honest man of integrity. I hope he will forgive me in his grave now. I didn’t work for all these, he did it for me to just walk in.
So finally she was asked,” Will you follow your father’s foot steps as he requested? And her simple answer was, “l now adore the man, I have a big picture of him in my living room and at the entrance of my house. He deserves whatever I have after God.
Are you like Tom Smith? It pays to build a name, the reward doesn’t come quickly but it will come however long it may take and it lasts longer.
Integrity, discipline, self control and fear of God makes man wealthy, not the fat bank account. Leave a good heritage for your children. Are you building a good name for your children & not a fat bank account? As an agent of CHANGE, please share this true life story with your loved ones. God bless us all.

வாரம் ஒரு கவிதை …” காகிதக் கப்பல் ” !
காகித கப்பல்
………….
மழை நீரின் ஓட்டத்தில் நான் விட்ட முதல் கப்பல் ….காகித கப்பல்!
இன்று வரை மனத்திரையில் ஓடுதே என் முதல் கப்பல் பயணம் !
ஒன்றல்ல … பலப் பல …. ஒன்று கவிழ்ந்தாலும் மற்றது தொடரும்
அதன் பயணத்தை …கை வைக்கவில்லையே நான் என் தலையில்
அன்று…”கவிழ்ந்தது என் கப்பல் என்று ” !
கப்பல் ஒட்டிய பெருமை மட்டுமே என் முகத்தில் …அந்த
மகிழ்ச்சி ஒன்றுதான் மனதில் நின்றது அன்று !
நீரின் ஆட்டத்திலும் ஓட்டத்திலும் அதன் பாதையில் வெகு நேர்த்தியாய்
பயணம் செய்து “ஒருவர் வாழ்க்கை பயணமும் இப்படித்தான்” என்று
எனக்கு கோடிட்டு பாடம் சொன்னதே அந்த காகித கப்பல் !
பால பாடம் அதைப் படிக்கத் தவறி விட்டேன் நான் அன்று !
காலச்சக்கர ஓட்டத்தில் ஓடும் காகித கப்பல் தானே நம் வாழ்க்கையும் !
வாழ்வின் ஓட்டத்தில் ஒரு வாசல் வழி மூடினாலும் இறைவன் மறு
வாசல் வழியைத் திறக்கிறானே நமக்கு !
மாற்று வாசல் திறப்பது தெரியாமல் மூடிய கதவு முன்னால் நான்
நின்று ” கவிழ்ந்து விட்டதே என் கப்பல் ” என்று புலம்புவது
ஏன் இன்று ?….
காகித கப்பல் சொன்ன பாடம் படிக்க நான் மறந்து விட்டதாலா ? நான்
செய்த தவறு நீ செய்ய வேண்டாம் தம்பி !
காகிதக் கப்பல் பயணம் இன்று உன் வாழ்வில் நீ பார்க்காத
ஒன்றாக இருந்தாலும் அந்த கப்பல் எனக்கு சொன்ன
செய்தியை மறக்க வேண்டாம் நீ !
ஆட்டம் ஏதும் இன்றி உன் வாழ்க்கை ஓட்டம் உன்னை வெற்றி சிகரம்
தொடவைக்கும் ஒரு ஆகாயக் கப்பலாக மாறும் நிச்சயம் !
