On Work....

Today Libin said, if at first you don’t succeed destroy all evidence that you tried. Does that mean we should not try? For this he said, no, it means you should restart all your efforts once again, as if you have never tried before. So also, did amma say today not to use old notes etc…. Meaning the same…Understood!!

The only way one can develop interest in any conceptual subject is by thinking on the logic behind conclusions stated in the books. When your line of thinking deviates from those conclusions do not come to the conclusion that you are proceeding in the wrong direction. Always consult a teacher in this regard. The more the doubts you have initially, the better, since it would guide you in the right direction and you are informed as to why the alternate thinking is not appropriate.

Many problems do not give complete information and require the use of assumptions. While going through a text book, question the logic behind the assumption if you think another assumption will suit the question on hand better.

In child hood we did not learn Twinkle Twinkle, or Johny Johny understanding its meaning. Over repeatedly reciting we understood its meaning…Same is the case with the prayers we chant....So also to pass even if we do not understand what it is, on repeated reading, and not giving up, you will…..

Had started with DANCE, GUITAR, KARATE and YOGA, but was not successful, in any of these, so still Jack of all trades, Master of none..But earnestly feel like completing one thing…But as achan said, even if you take seven births, and keep on learning, you knowledge would be just the knowledge of KG class, to your total knowledge now.

As Reshmita said, about the boy who always prayed to God, that he should win the lottery, one day God said to him, dear for that you please buy a lottery first…….So you study well first and write the exam, with faith and confidence…Now that you have support from all, and leave the rest to God…ALL FOR THE BEST……

And Achan always kept telling the story of the king and the spider…how the king who was about the give up, was re motivated seeing the spider, though unsuccessful, kept trying to make its web, and was finally successful.

If any person is able to show me that I do not think or act rightly, I will change, for I seek the truth. For he is injured who abides in errors and ignorance.

Now the only hindrance seems to be my sleep… and laziness to wake up early in the morning. Though punctual for most of the things most of the times, unless I forget (Don’t know how I happen to forget Devis marriage)

The first most obvious sign of a professional is punctuality, and you need to learn to be quickly…Don’t go by Sony’s logic…that Punctuality is not in coming to office at time, but delivering….but does it mean escapesim…from responsibility, and just pointing figures at others, self not being upto the mark ….Well that is said, in todays world…what is needed is not hard work, but smart work.
