"DID YOU ACT IN THE RIGHT WAY TODAY?"

"Did you act in the right way today?"

I was queried..

"Why I won't do?"

I questioned with a curiosity..

"Because acting in the right way looks like a forced work at times and left to yourself, you wish to come out of it at the earliest!"

I was told..

"How?"

I asked. There was an answer..

"In respect of such actions 

Initially,
You smile and take up,
If continued,
You pretend you are 'OK' doing them,
Soon,
You start feeling when all that will be over,
Later,
You start murmuring within,
Next,
Your murmurs become louder,
If continued,
You start cursing it,
And beyond in short time..
You start yelling, saying,
'I'll not do!'

Knowing this well alone, the wise around attached as much those works as the actions to be done from your end where you take interest and involve heart and soul thus making sure that good is done around in general..

Equally know that..

• Talk does not cook rice. (Chinese Proverb)
• Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out. (Italian Proverb)

It was a tense moment..

The person repeatedly looked around desperately..

No solace was found..

Time ticked on and on..

The moments of tension continued..

Was the question..

Suddenly, there was a Message from within..

"The tense moment is a fact as that is based on the life you lived so far!"

"Did I do something wrong in the past?"

"Not wrong but.. Yes.. The tension is the out come of expectations in life and fear of not able to meet them!"

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.. A RE-LOOK INTO MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY! #BlogchatterBlogHop

 

I was in class 7. I had an option of speaking on a subject in my Elocution Period. I avoided giving my name. My father came to know about that, straight away met my Class Teacher and included my name..

"I don't like giving speech in front of my friends!"

I pleaded..

"You should develop these skills. Avoiding is no solution. Select one of topics given, prepare well and speak out!"

Ordered my dad. I murmured within..

I was in class 9. I had to give my name for a Voluntary Service. I avoided that. My father came to know that, went to my school and straight way gave my name..

"I have to concentrate on my studies. These come in my way!"

I said..

"Try manage both. You should involve in such works once in a way!"

Clarified my father saying indirectly that there was no go there. I was angry but kept quiet..

I was in my 12th class. I concentrated, wrote the local competitive exam and was through. My father made me apply for other competition exams too where I was eligible and write those exams..

"Why all these when I am sure of my local exam?"

I asked..

"You should know what competition is!"

Explained my father..

"This way, I am confused!"

I replied. My dad kept quiet..

I had my selection of job wherein out of the two local postings I got, one had less Pay and 6 month training outside my city..

"This Company is better than the other even though they pay less initially and have training away from Headquarters. Select this one. it is a good start in your Career!"

Said my father..

"When the other Company is paying more and their training is only for 3 months that too locally, why all this unnecessary work? I want to join the second Company!"

I asserted..

"Do what I say. There is good in that for you in the long run!"

Assured my dad..

I moved out reluctantly for 6 months, had my training and was posted back to my city. I was the happiest person on the first day of going for my Job. My dad silently wished me the best. I returned late in the evening quite tired and was resting in my room. All the time I was silent. My dad asked what had happened at my first day of work..

I said, 

"They showed my place and assigned me some Work. I had to continuously do that all the eight hrs till the last minute the office closed except for lunch and tea rreaks. That's all, nothing great!"

"Yes, dear, relax now! You are at your best. All these days, my constant worry was to put you in this line which was never one day's work. It's a total build up from scratch from the time you entered your school. You might have resisted many times, but finally co-operated and joined in every activity I insisted..

Ultimately good is done to you, to your personality and to your Career!"

Said my father with a smile on his face and a pat on my back!

A GLIMPSE INTO WISDOM IN HUMAN LIFE AND THE LACK OF IT!

• Wisdom lacks when desire rules!

• Initially desire appears, wisdom prevails; subsequently desire establishes, wisdom struggles; finally desire rules, wisdom vanishes!

• Wisdom and clarity are close friends; desire and confusion are bosom friends!

• Wise people remain humble; unwise people claim they are humble!

• The wise shut their mouth and allow not the secret rule them; the unwise open their mouth succumbing to the fancy of secret, giving it free hand to reign them!

• The unwise affirm they are wise all the time, the wise doubt their wisdom during that time!

• Wisdom and calmness, the two jewel with human being eliminate many misconceptions of life!

• The wise are ever careful of the content of their talk; the unwise are ever bothered about their style in talking!

• The wise most of the time remain silent but extend a helping hand non stop; the unwise talk volumes and volumes and expect help next moment!

• The golden words ever dancing on the lips of the wise are..

"Let me know!";

The harsh words ever ruling the lips of the unwise are

"I know!"
