Start liking people

Here is a basic rule for winning success. Let’s mark it in the mind and remember it. The rule is: Success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support of others. David J Schwartz writes.

Repose in the self

Life is full of interruptions. We need to keep moving. We park ourselves somewhere and then we move again, writes Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

The art of negotiation

Negotiation is a part of our daily routine. We do it knowingly or unknowingly. And most of the time, we emerge no better. We “give up” easily or become headstrong. And we end up as losers either way, writes PP Wangchuk.

Smiling away to liberation

Remaining contented and keeping a smile is the biggest service to God. When a person surrenders with faith, the Lord takes care of him in every way, writes Ravindra Kumar.

The supremacy of soul

There are four basic components of what constitutes our being: Soul, intelligence, mind and body. And their functions: Desiring, deciding and enjoying or suffering are the functions of the soul.

Fight the war within

Life is a constant battle and can be compared to the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. These two battles represent the actual battle that we fight within us all the time.

The good in bad

Sometimes life kicks us in the gut and we are left reeling under the impact of such a sudden and vicious attack. We wonder what compelled it, what brought it on, how did we miss sensing it.

Seize today’s wonder

If one makes the best use of the opportunities coming one’s way, success will come routinely. But we are either too lazy or too pessimistic and hardly grab chances.

Think and plan big

We achieve less than what we visualise in our plans because we lack a certain child-like outlook.

Enjoy life’s true beauty

Most of us are used to taking medicines for illnesses. Likewise we find solace in silent contemplation through spirituality to overcome anguish.

There is goodness in contradictions

The jumble of life is woven with compulsions and contradictions. Life is neither completely abstract nor fully absolute. It's rather a unique composition imbued with soft, medium and shrill tones.

Light up yourself first

What you see in others - good, bad or ugly - is simply a mirror reflection of yourself. For you to be able to recognise a weakness, or see strength in others means that you have to have at least a trace of it in yourself. Ishmit Oberoi writes.

Fortune kisses the brave

Usually fear dictates our actions and determines what we can achieve. We cannot make any right attempts for fear of failure. We cannot put forth our creative ideas for fear of being ridiculed. MN Kundu writes.

The happiness myth

Happiness can be best called a myth since we can’t agree on its definition. But one thing is for sure, Happiness is not the absence of sadness. PP Wangchuk writes.

Learn to love irritations

A man consulted a well-known psychiatrist as his marriage and career were in trouble. His problem was his constant irritability and bad temper. Though he was concerned about it, if any one tried to discuss it with him, he exploded in anger. Ishmit Oberoi writes.
