We do choose.....

As Bible Advises

Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them round your neck; write them on your heart.

Get wisdom and insight. Do not abandon wisdom and she will protect you, love her and she will keep you safe. Nothing will stand in your way if you walk wisely, and you will not stumble when you run, Always remember what you have learned. Your education is your life- guard it well. Do not go where evil men go. Do not follow the example of the wicked. Don’t do it. Keep away from evil. Be careful how you think your life is shaped by your thoughts. Never say anything that isn’t true. Have nothing to do with lies and misleading words. Don’t be ashamed to say I do not know. Look straight ahead with honest confident. Don’t hang your head in shame. Plan carefully what you do and whether you do will turn out right. Avoid evil and walk straight ahead. Don’t go one step off the right way. Children should grow up to help parents, not strangers first. Never be responsible for some one else debt. Neither a borrower nor a lender be. Never he caught by your own words, your our promises. How long is the lazy man going to lie in bed? When is he ever going to getup? While he sleeps, poverty will attack him like an armed robber.

There are 7 things that the lord hates and cannot tolerate, A proud look, A lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, a mind that thinks up wicked plan. Feet that hurry off to do evil, a witness who tells one lie after another, and a man who strips up trouble among friends.

As Rabindranath Tagore says:

This is how I would like to be, human & humane, a fully developed person, a harmonious personality. Lover of all people, a citizen with a conscience, a patriot whose loyalty embraces all mankind. Striving for social justice, for the right of the poor to the material well being, of the citizen to self-government, of the ignorant to knowledge, of the child to unfettered development, of the women to equal dignity with men. Be humble and strive for the development of your surrounding first and world next, do both. What the child impales at school is very important. True education lies in the training of all the senses instead of merely cramming the mind with memorized knowledge. Teach through craft. Bring back life to villages. Bridge a gulf between city and village. Remove the cancer of inequality and superstition from the body of our society. The inertia, which leads us to the idolatry of dead forms in social institutions, will create in our political prison houses with immovable walls.

Fear not the waves of the sea, but mind the leaks in your own vessel. No one can take away the blessed task of service to the country. It is God given. Self-rule is eternally within our grasp. If we do not take up the work, we lose the right. It is all to our shame if we lose the natural right of service and throw blame on others for the non-discharge of our duties. It is sad and unfortunate that while we ourselves refrain from service and sacrifice, we expect the mitigation of distress from those who do not feel the natural urge to love and serve but only to throw favors out of pity.
Justice will be the measuring life for the foundation and honesty will be my plumb line, faith that is firm is also patient. I believe in life only when it is progressive, and in progress only when it is in harmony with life. I preach the freedom of man from the servitude of the fetish of hugeness, the non human. By progress, it means a continuous development of the human personality, both individual and the corporate…
Where the mind is without fear,
And the head is held high,
Where knowledge is free,
Where the world has not been broken up,
Into fragments by narrow domestic wall,
Where words come out from the depth of truth,
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection,
Where the clear stream of reason has not,
Lost its way into dreary desert Sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever widening thought and action,
Into that heaven of freedom, my father,
Let my country awake.

As Pattabhi Ram sir says:
Life is all about:
Humility
Honour
Honesty.

Whatever you do, be the best in that. A friend asked should I do, B Sc pysics or B. Tech after 12th, and this was the answer that came apt...Technical knowledge is always the best and good if you could excel in B Tech say if interested in physics take electronics etc. But if your heart is elsewhere do that. An arts teacher, can earn even more than doctor, there are nuns and sisters, taking care of children and family better than married people.
Many young people believe respectable and well paying jobs are in the fields of nursing and engineering. What I’d like to know is what is the problem with other jobs?
Each person has his/her own strengths and weaknesses and should learn to play by them. You may be bad at maths but that does not mean you will be bad in languages. What I mean is each person has their own capabilities and while they excel in one area, they may be weak in another.
You should make your own decisions, make your own mistakes and learn to rectify them. If you fall down, you pick yourself up and keep on moving.
A number of students are new to decision making. Lets just say you are on your way up the corporate ladder but you rather do something like advertising or fashion designing, if that’s really what you want, and then go for it.
It does not matter where you are, if you hate what you are learning, you are going to end up hating the job. There are probably many who spend hours in front of your computer playing video games. Ever think of designing your own games for a living? ? Its just a thought. This way you will be doing something that exercises your brain and make money doing it.
Choosing a career takes time. You don’t just wake up one fine morning, sit down in front of a mug of coffee and declare without a second thought, ‘ I’m going to be a doctor’ or something like that. Time matters when it comes to your future. Not all careers are stable and decisions should be make carefully.
India is not able to reach its maximum potential may be because of this lack of decision making ability among young people.It is your own luck, skill and ability that matters in the future.


And that is what I too have been doing...Some say these kinds of thoughts will not lead me any where, I have still not reached any where...But that is a perspective....as I do belive today unlike yesterday, I have reached somewhere....

Emptying my thought by putting things here to have helped me tremendously. And indeed, once I reduce my sleep, I would be the best...Again, guess its only G the almighty who could help me and wishing for that, and thus a help for my studies.

Indeed, Faith, Forgive and Forgetting what is not needed is important. Doubting Thomas will never have happiness in their life - Personal or professional. They cause trouble not only to themselves but to others too.
