THE IN AND OUT OF REPUTATION!

• Sometimes it takes one hour only to get reputation that lasts for thousand years. (Japanese Proverb)
• My reputation grows with every failure. (George Bernard Shaw)

REPUTATION 

Is the background story of

Realistic,

Exemplary,

Passionate,

Understanding,

Trustworthy,

Action filled in,

Truthful,

Interesting,

Optimistic 

and

Noble

Human being!

### The irony of living is.. I do more to get my reputation all along doing less towards my duty!

### Sincerity in doing and being reputed are ever twins!

### Seeking quick results forever works against gaining reputation!

### I expanded; my reputation seemed going up in leaps and bounds but in reality it only went down!

### My reputation sure grows non stop when I stop concentrating on it and start concentrating on my work.

### Money asked Reputation, "Be my friend!" Reputation smiled and replied, "I am your friend when you remain helpful to others!"

### My achievement and my reputation are friends only when my achievement does true good to others!

• Character is like a tree and reputation is like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it, the tree is real thing. (Abraham Lincoln)
• It takes many good deeds to build good reputation and only a bad one to lose it. (Benjamin Franklin)

THE IDEAL FRAME OF REFERENCE.. KNOWING, WHEN TO QUIT FROM A PARTICULAR ACTIVITY!

• I may do an 8th wonder in life but that wonder never remains a wonder unless I quit from that in time..

• QUITTING is nothing but 

Quietly
Under no compulsion 
In time,
Taking leave from doing
Treating the
Involvement as
Gift of God!

• Entering the stage of action no doubt, is an art in life; quitting from those actions in time too is part of that art!

• I have a role everywhere; I have no role beyond. Quitting in time is must!

• No doubt, involving in time brings peace but quitting in time alone retains that peace!

• If ruling high surrounds involvement, feeling low surrounds quitting!

• If I truly love my involvement, I sure love my quitting!

The ever Twin Sacred Messages from God are

• Involve in time to attend the task waiting for you,
• Quit in time to make way for others!

"KEEP GUESSING. SEE YOU.. BYE!"

"Chachu, shall I tell you a funny story?"

"Yes.. Go ahead, Beta.. Love to hear that!"

"Once a magic man showed many tricks to people..

He put one colored flower bunch on one side of a tube and took out from the other side a different color..

He asked a man enter a box, closed it and called his name. That man came running from behind..

He called one person to stage, gave him a chocolate and asked him to eat it. When the man took it mouth, the chocolate was not there in his hand..

Like that many, many tricks he did and every one became very happy. Finally he said,

'The last trick.. Do this along with me 5 times.. 

 

Raise your right hand showing palm.. 

Move the hand to left side.. 

Bring it to centre.. 

Now move it to right side..

Bring it to centre!'

Then he said aloud something..

Chachu, Can you make out what he said aloud and what that moving hand is for?"

"I am not getting it, dear!"

"Ok, Chachu.. Time up.. I have to study now. Keep guessing..

See you.. Bye!"

SURE, THE NAME MATTERS!

Life is for one generation; good name is forever. (Japanese Proverb)

### Good name of the person speaks volumes of helpful work done; bad name of the person reveals tons of damages done!

### The person of bad name held easy notes in hand and screamed saying,

• "I buy help!"

The person of good name held the hand of the difficult person and asked smiling,

• "May I help?"

### The person of good name worked hard and generated useful items all round; the person of bad name relaxed beyond and produced wasteful stuff non stop!

### The person of bad name forever carried the thought, "I did right; the other one did wrong!"

The person of good name forever carried the thought, "Can I do better that in front of me?"

### The person of good name started talking, the words were dancing on lips of the person; the person of bad name started talking, the words were limping on lips of the person!

THE JOURNEY OF LAUGHTER AND SMILE!

The teeth that laugh are also those that bite. 

(West African Proverb)

Gold that is lent goes away laughing and comes back in tears.

(Turkish Proverb)

• Loud laughter is the reflection of emptiness within and discrete smile is the reflection of getting away faster!

• Smile spreads around noticed by none; laughter forces around noticed by everyone!

• At times, laughing is direct mocking; smiling is indirect silencing!

• Laughter at the back of no solid actions may produce many laughters in reciprocation but for the moment; concrete actions at the back of a subtle smile sure creates many laughters around for long time!

• Laughter produces tears; smile clears tears!

• Loud laughter conveys an indirect message, 'I want to end this talk!'

• Smile is heart throbbing; laughter is jaws pulling!

• Humor filled in talk produces laughter, service oriented work creates smiles!

RISKING.. WHAT'S IT IN HUMAN LIFE?

Better to risk little than lose the whole. 

(American Proverb)

• On and off risk taking strengthens my personality, brings in versatality with me!

• Risk taking no doubt is a heroic quality provided I am fully prepared to meet failure involved therein if surfaces!

• Risk taking and failure facing are often 2 sides of coin!

• I may be seen as hero as I take risk but I can become zero in no time if failure surfaces. If that is to be avoided, I should acknowledge the hero applause with humility alone!

• Life may be meaningless without risk taking but equally meaningless if taking care is not accompanied!

• Risking is a type of enthusiasm, never that surfaces unless self within is lightened!

• Calculated risk may be associated with certain gain in life; never gain of courage!

To win, you have to risk loss.

WHICH ACTION IS NOBLE? 'IT'S MY WISH!' OR 'LET ME DO GOOD!'

"I shouted at that person yesterday!"

"You should avoid shouting at people!"

"What to do? He was coming in my way however softly I was telling him!"

"You should have firmly told him to keep away!"

"But shouting sometimes, sets right the person quickly!"

"Then you should act shouting!"

"I don't get what you say.. Shouting directly or pretending shouting both are the same!"

"There is a world of difference between the two actions!"

"What?"

"One is myself losing control over the situation where as the other is myself being in full control of the situation. Is not the second way of acting, better?"

"-----"

"Dear! When I shout at someone, my 'self' straight away acts with a feeling in me that I had

• Won over,
• Irritated,
• Set right and
• Humiliated

The other person and my WISH is satisfied..

Where as when I pretend shouting, I am aware that the person is 

• Getting the message,
• On the spot may change,
• Overall is under control and is
• Duty bound

With an understanding within me that GOOD prevailed in the situation..

No doubt, the job is not easy as my 'self' overrides in no time and makes me lose control but an attempt is worth doing in the situation..

It is the spirit in us that does such real wonders. Go ahead steadily, follow what I said and you will be

OUT OF YOUR PROBLEM!”

An elderly wise person all the time listening to the advice said,

“Dear! The psychologies of people should never be compared and talked..

They may look the same but the inside potentials are different for each individual. We are no one to judge these personalities and we can never do that too..

The inside guides an individual and that ever expects

• Free environment,
• Freedom of expression and
• A say for the ‘self’ however ugly the ‘self expression’ be..

If these are allowed for each individual at core levels, that’s it; rest depends on the Nature’s plan..

So, let me advise in such a gentle way, simultaneously okaying and allowing the personality to plan and do what he/she likes and thus be in tune with Nature..

You know, what the Great Saint had asked when a person came to Him saying that he was not able to Concentrate on the God and do Meditation..

'Which form you like as the dearest in your life?'

THE STORY OF PLUS AND MINUS!

Wealth creation at times, may be a pack of wonders but wealth depletion all the time is a sack of blunders!

Wealth creation is ever the art of leaving the wrong and living the right where as wealth depletion is forever, part of believing beyond!

Wealth creation is out of many intelligent activities systematically and carefully implemented where as wealth depletion is out of few negligent activities happily carried out!

CREATION of wealth is ever associated with

Capabilities expressed in the best way bringing out
Required output thru' hard work all along
Earning decent monies by
Availing all 

Timely benefits that come up equally checking various
Impulses of over spending without losing hold on doing
On-time charities exhibiting
No less honesty everywhere!

Whereas

DEPLETION of wealth surfaces invariably thru'

Doing no steady work at any point of time
Engaging in activities that fetch no returns clubbed with
Persistent over spending,
Leaving totally IN and OUT checks of money handled
Extending soft corner to every difficulty around with
Talking more and doing less 
Involving in too many enjoyments with
Over confidence ruling everywhere taking
No pains to do right investments in time!

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

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