Discuss ideas, not people


Welcome Back!

The most uncivilised activity of this highly civilised world is gossiping. Even the richest and educated people indulge in this uncivilised activity. It is both ruthless and worthless entertainment. In gossip, the tongue and intelligence let loose.

We shamelessly distort the image of people through the means of gossip, without the slightest care about how much it might affect their lives.

Never, ever trust a gossiper. After you leave, the one who was gossiping with you will gossip about you with others. The chain goes on and on and on. This is the universal truth.

Curiosity and inquisitiveness are lifelines of human evolution. Gossip is judgement passed without knowledge. We make a blunder by feeding this thirst and hunger for knowledge with gossip. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. The contrary is also true. Judge, and you too will be judged. Every gossiper eventually drinks his own poison. Everything comes back.

So what to do?

The next time the surrounding gang starts gossiping, just walk away from them. Refuse to speak or hear about a person who is not present. Try to feed the thirst and hunger for knowledge by reading books, learning new things or developing skills. Do what you like. This will save yourself from self-harm and help you in staying out of trouble. Also, it will be immensely productive.

Great minds discuss ideas, Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Thought of the day:

“Gossip is just a tool to distract people who have nothing better to do from feeling jealous of those few of us remaining with noble hearts.”

'Today' is his 🎁 unto you

Welcome back 😀 ! Have you ever wondered why people like handmade gifts above all other gifts? The answer to this question is simple - You/They recognise the heart behind the gift and that makes the gift priceless . "A gift is not a material, but an outlook - to look out at the heart behind the material." -Mahatria Rā Even if the present is just a handmade flower or a greeting card, it would be one of the best gifts you would have ever got. Similarly , Education becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of the teachers who transfer their knowledge unto you . Your childhood becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of your parents in the upbringing. Friends become a gift when they stand by you not only in your good times but also in your tough times. Life becomes a gift when you realise its preciousness and its importance. In that sense, "Today" becomes an eternal gift . Always keep in mind that you may not live to see the "Tomorrow"...

Excellence is Self-Explanatory

Welcome Back! We usually find ourselves giving justifications or explanations about something every other day. Don't we? For Example: You wanted to wake up at 6:00 AM. But instead, you wake up at 6:10 AM.  Your goal was to make 40 lakhs but you made only 39. You appointment was at 4:00 PM but you turned up at 4:15 PM. You got 4 marks less than your target in an examination. In all these cases, there is a similarity - You fall short of your targets. You may need to provide justification and explanations regarding your actions in these cases . Sometimes, you may even argue. Normally , you have a tendency to explain, justify, reason and rationalise what's not okay as okay.We try our best to prove that something is okay even if it is not . This presses the self-destruction button of your life. Time and again, this lack of excellence will hurt you very badly in your life and hamper your goals. You will fall short of your target. Ultimately , you will not be a...
