HERE, 'A LITTLE BETTER' IS THE RIGHT WAY!

I've decided!" 

"Decided what?"

"To do selfless works as much possible from now on wards!"

"Dear! Before asserting thus, you should always test yourself!"

"What do you mean?"

"Because when my stomach is full, I very easily say that I can forego food!"

"It means.."

"Yes, dear!  Instead of asserting straightaway that I do selfless activities why not say that

I am limited,

So I will be doing self interested works only but

I can improve the quality of my 'self' in as many of my actions feasible keeping the next person 

A LITTLE BETTER 

However small it be and thus move on in my life..

If I start doing that, sure my 'self' gets refined in the process and I begin my journey towards

SELFLESS ACTIONS

The origin of which is unknown to me at this point of time..

Why not start doing this, which is with you and very much feasible for you right at this point of time?"

A CHALLENGE FILLED IN TASK!

"I am in difficulty!"

"Is it small or medium difficulty?"

"How does it matter?"

• "If it is small difficulty, take it up as additional work and move ahead;
• If it is medium difficulty, take it up as challenge and proceed..

As a

DIFFICULTY

We usually face in our day to day life is nothing but

Divine
Intervention
Frequently
Felt as additional work/challenge but
If addressed sincerely,
Creates it's own
Unique,
Lasting and
Treasure filled in
Yield!

The Almighty ever watches me how I do that task of meeting those difficulties with devotion and smile never deviating from the Path of Dharma and without losing an iota of faith in the Lord..

THE ENDLESS STORY OF YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW!

*** I meticulously planned all my doings for tomorrow. Tomorrow became today. I expanded beyond saying, "Let me relax as my planning is for tomorrow!"

*** The wisdom within me said, "Today goes away, tomorrow comes in. You need to rise in life!" 

 "Sure, I do!" I promised and followed rigorous discipline. Days passed into weeks; weeks into months and months into years..

"I did it!" I screamed..

Pride whistled and desire giggled and delusion scribbled my fate and handed over to anger, greed and jealousy!

*** I relaxed beyond taking life easy. Time pulled out tomorrows and pushed into yesterdays non stop!

*** Yesterday said, "You know me!"; "Yes!", I said..

Tomorrow said, "Guess me!"; "Sure!", I said..

Today said, "I am with you!"; "One sec!", I said!

• Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday. (Author Unknown)
• Yesterday, today and tomorrow - These are the three days of man. (Chinese Proverb)
• Confess you were wrong yesterday, it will show you are wise today. (Traditional Proverb)
• Never let yesterday use up too much of today. (Will Rogers)
• If you are still talking about what you did yesterday, you haven't done much today. (Author Unknown)
• I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then. (Lewis Carroll)
• The crisis of yesterday is the joke of tomorrow. (H.G. Wells)

THE CUTE JOKES!

"Chachu, Shall I tell you, some jokes?"

"Sure, Beta.. Love to hear them!"

"Ok.. Will my school be there on Sundays?"

"No!"

"Where it goes?"

"Ha..Ha..Ha.. Liked it!"

"You know, it is raining here continuously but in my uncle's place there is no rain!"

"Yes, dear! They very badly need rain!"

"Yesterday, he rang up and asked me,

'There is so much rain in your place and we have zero rain. Can you send some rain to us?'

And I did that!"

"How did you send the rain there, dear?"

"I took a video of rain, sent it to him asking,

'Play the video!'"

"Oh.. I never thought of that.. Good joke , Beta!"

"Ok.. Tell me.. It is said,

'No man can serve 2 masters!' but one person did that!"

"How? Don't get it!"

"Simple, Chachu! When one master said.. 'Go East!' and another said.. 'Go West!', 

He cleverly went North and found new master!"

"Ha.. Ha.. Ha!"

"One uncle wanted to amuse his nephew of 2 yrs with a trick..

He said, 'Dear! In our car, you keep your finger on your nose, the wipers move!'

Whenever the child did that, the uncle nicely used to activate the wipers and as the boy removed his finger from the nose, he used to stop it. And it was really fun for a while..

One day the child in car kept his finger on the nose when the uncle was less alert and said,

'Now move them!'"

"Oh! So nice of the little boy.  Really Smart!"

"Yes, Chachu.. And the last one..

"'Don’t touch anything unnecessarily whenever you go to rest room. It costs a lot!'

The dad instructed his child.. 

'Dad! I always touch only those places where it is written 

Touch Free!'

Said the boy!"

"Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Good jokes, Beta!"

"Thank you, Chachu.. I am happy, you liked them!"

BELIEVE ONCE, CHECK TWICE!

I cried aloud..

"I believed saying 'Yes' but soon had to end up saying 'Ok'; So, I started questioning 'How' but that ended once with a rift, second time with a shift and third time with a useless gift!"

My friend comforted me saying,

"I questioned, I had to pass thru' a trouble. So, I believed but I had to pass thru' a bigger trouble!"

The wise person next to us smiled and said,

"Relax.. No doubt,

Believing is smooth sailing; questioning is back breaking..

But seen the other way,

Believing is faith; questioning is experimenting supporting that faith..

Further,

I need to believe to certain level as nothing moves without believing but I need to question beyond as nothing progresses without cross checking..

So the right path here is

Believe once, check twice!"

In distance, someone was heard reading aloud the famous Proverbs and Quotations from a book..

• To believe in certainty, we must begin doubting. (Polish Proverb)

A DAD.. HOW'S HE LIKE? #BlogchatterHalf Marathon 2.0

 

In class 7, as he avoided giving his name for speaking in the elocution period, the dad straight away met his class teacher and included his name..

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

He pleaded..

"Avoiding is no solution here. Select your topic, prepare well and speak!"

Ordered the dad..

In class 9, on a day as he avoided giving his name for a voluntary service the dad went to the school and straight way gave his name..

"These come in the way of my studies!"

He said meekly..

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

Clarified the dad..

In class 12, even though he was thru' local competitive exam, the dad made him apply for other competitive exams too and write those exams..

"Why all these when I'm already thru' my local exam?"

He asked back..

"You should know what competition is and better you take all these exams!"

Explained the dad..

After graduation, he had his selection of job.. The dad insisted him select one..

"The other company is paying more and their training is just for 3 months. I want to join the second company!"

He asserted..

"It's better you do what I say. There's good in that for you in the long run!"

Assured the dad..

After training, on the 1st day of his job, he returned late in the evening quite tired and was resting in his room. The dad asked what had happened at his first day of work..

"They showed my place and assigned me some work. I had to do that full 8 hrs till the last minute except for lunch and coffee/tea breaks!"

He said with a tiresome tone..

"Dear! All these days, my constant worry was to put you in this line which was never a day's job. It's a total build up from scratch from the time you entered your school. Today, you became reasonably the right personality prepared to take up the coming days'

• Turmoil,
• Stress and strain and
• Cut-throat competitions at work and
• Overall ups and downs in life in parallel..

Now relax and rejuvenate yourself for the tomorrow's likely more difficult day in your job. All the Best!"

Said the dad with a gentle pat on his back!
