POST 1 - NO DOUBT, IT'S ALL BUSINESS! #WriteAPageADay

A young man got into a new but a mediocre job which never payed him much and he equally could not shift to another job too immediately as the Employers preferred a certain work experience from his end. He was not satisfied with his immediate earnings and wanted to boost the same thru' an indirect business continuing his job and accordingly decided to venture into a small business all by himself afresh..

As he had no experience in the field, some one told him to take advice from one who was well known in the field but actively not doing any business in that line. When contacted, that person advised him on how and where to invest his finances. 3 months passed and on a fine day, the young man incurred a big loss and instantly found that one fourth of his investment gone at a single stroke..

A close friend told him that the previous Adviser might have been tipped by the big man in the field and so it would be always better to get a second independent opinion, average out and decide in all such ventures. And the young man had no way other than go for it. Another 3 months passed. It looked worked, but still there was a loss in the business and after all calculations the young man found that he lost an additional of one eighth of his investment..

Another friend advised him to take 2 such additional opinions in the field from two independent parties and decide based on the average of the three and the young man had no go again but to follow that. Next, six months passed thus. He was stable for a while, initially certain loss was there but of negligible percentage and soon profits showed up in small numbers..

A third friend advised him always to average out the best opinions available around and act. The young man soon followed that. But the success was again limited as the profits too averaged out..

Finally a well-wisher advised him to go to the person who was a Stalwart in the field and take his advice. The young man accordingly went to him, got the advice and returned..

And thereafter, he consistently made sizable monies in his life without a break!

What did the Stalwart in the field advice him in that context?

• The Stalwart advised him to resign from his on going job as well as stop venturing in all those businesses and as he had got certain min experience in business dealings, offered him a Senior Position in his own Company for a handsome salary..

EXPECTATIONS.. HOW TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF NOT MEETING THEM AND REMAIN CALM?

"Sir! How to be happy in life for max time?"

"Dear! Before I clarify, I ask you a question. Why are you becoming unhappy in life?"

"I become unhappy when I don't meet my expectations!"

"Can we address the problem of expecting?"

"What is that like?"

"No doubt, we, as normal human beings can't stop expecting but 2 wonderful things can be done in this scenario!"

"What are those 2, Sir?"

"No 1 is.. Reducing my expectations, as much possible..

No 2 is.. Observing myself as I start expecting, as much possible..

If forgotten too, as soon as I remember, let me get into this discipline without a stop!"

"Ok, what happens, if I do that way?"

"Your tempo of expecting reduces and duty in the situation surfaces..

That doing duty alone does all wonders to solve the problem next to you

Viz.,

'I become unhappy when I don't meet my expectations!'"

AMIDST THE DYNAMIC MOMENTS OF TIME!

For a person of too many tastes and involvements, initially, as the situation became thrilling,

• Seconds were seen racing,
• Minutes were found jumping,
• Hours appeared dancing with

The person going into a state of ecstasy..

In some time as the situation became disheartening,

• Seconds were found limping,
• Minutes needed pushing,
• Hours were seen dragging with

The person going into a state of depression..

Again, in some time as the situation in front became interesting,

Hours moved like minutes,
Minutes felt like seconds,
Seconds were seen nowhere around with

The person getting enthralled beyond..

Further, in some time as the situation in front became gloomy,

• Seconds needed pushing,
• Minutes were seen dragging,
• Hours appeared stopped with..

The person becoming a lost human being..

But all along, for a person of limited involvement as the situation in front remained realistic on and on

• Seconds moved like seconds,
• Minutes moved like minutes,
• Hours moved like hours with

The person remaining at peace on and on!

AS HUMAN BEING RISES IN LIFE..

*** Initially, the raw human being asserted beyond..

"The entire gist of philosophy of life is nothing but doing more works that do good to me and less works that are pleasant to me..

Here, I'll follow a discipline of progressively increasing good works and lessening the pleasant ones and soon I reach doing 100% good works with zero pleasant ones next to me..

That way, 

I become the true philosopher in my life!"

God remained silent and Satan laughing aloud stepped in..

*** In time, the refined human being declared firmly,

"No doubt, the entire gist of philosophy of life is nothing but doing more works that do good to me and less works that are pleasant to me..

My discipline here is progressively increase doing works that do good to me but limit at 70% leaving the remaining 30% pleasant ones 'as is' to satisfy my basic desires..

Done that way, 

May not be the true philosopher sure, I remain the right philosopher in my life!"

God smiled and Satan became silent..

*** In the end, the elevated human being said gently,

"Sure, the entire gist of philosophy of life is nothing but doing more works that do good to me and less works that are pleasant to me..

My decision here is progressively increase the works that do good to me to a limit of 50% keeping the remaining 50% pleasant ones 'as is' as I am the normal human being with my own desires which are not less..

If this much is done, I'm sure,  

I have done something in the line of Philosophical Living in this life; rest is God's Will!"

God straight away blessed the human being and Satan vanished from the back door!

DO YOU KNOW THE STORY OF MISTAKES?

"No doubt, to err is human but that applies for mistakes done unknowingly only. Knowingly I should not do mistakes!"

"Dear! What you say is right and knowingly I should not commit mistakes. But is it the only way, I should look at it?"

"What else, Sir! If I am careful, I can 100% avoid my mistakes!"

"Sorry, I take an exception here!"

"What? Knowingly too, if one does mistakes, what should you call that person?"

"Equal number of times, normal person only!"

"Strange.. You directly support a wrong doer? I am surprised!"

"Dear! What I say is reality, whether you believe or not!"

"How?"

"It's simple.. If some one does wrong to you, don't you retaliate?"

"Yes!"

"The Great Personality said,

'The hand that hit me is serving me!'

When asked by the serving disciple who was serving Him to check whether He had come to consciousness after a brutal attack by a rowdy element. Why so?"

"I'm not a Great Personality. I'm a normal person!"

"That's what I said!"

"I'm totally confused!"

"Dear! I should first accept that I do sure err as self with me is built on my ignorance away from Reality, which ever says,

'I am important; not others!'

And joined with that ignorance, I ever assert,

'I am right!'

Except, in situations where I will be looked down or my own self prestige gets hurt and my pride surfaces making me say,

'Sorry.. I am wrong!'

Never bothered to see the reality in the situation!"

"-----"

"Yes, dear! It's ever wisdom with me to doubt myself doing right all the time and be ready to sincerely correct myself if my mistakes are brought out by others and thus remain humble as much in my life!"

THE REAL 'FORCE' OF MY IGNORANCE!

* There is a Higher purpose of my living on earth but my mind constantly suggests the lower purpose of my that living chaining me endlessly.  I proudly say,

'I am Free!' 

* God originally gave me many things free in life so that I make use of those things and generate around me things which the Lord's Creation needs. I proudly say 

'I am the Owner of those generated!'

* Infinite things happening around me and infinite things happening within me make my day myself controlling just a few of those things all my life. I proudly say, 

'I am the Ruler!'

* I felt I am great and as I started expanding in my life, Mother Nature gave me a small beating and showed me how small I am. I recovered, forgot the purpose being humble in my life and proudly announced,

'I am on Cloud Nine!'

* Living is basically experiencing the vibrant newness and expertise next to me. I totally forget this purpose, get into my cocoon and proudly say,

'I am the Expert!'
