In our daily lives we meet many people who shrug off from accepting their wrong doings. There only few who say "yes I did this". The people who have the grit to accept their wrong doings can only look forward as the rest will waste time thinking why they should accept their mistakes. They are in the illusion that they will be dishonoured or people will start taking them lightly if they do so.
The nature on the other hand helps honest people as these people learn from their mistakes and move ahead.
We can take the example of labourers who work on the roads doing small tasks. They are performing tasks on the daily basis .In the scenario if something goes wrong, the one who is most responsible and rejoices doing his task walks ahead. He takes initiative to inform his in charge about the mess and sometimes apologizes and comforts his in charge that they will take care of the mistake and will not repeat it.
There is one more labourer, who on the other hand tries to hide the mess and doesn't inform his boss.
What do you think will happen as the work load increases ?
The in charge some or the other day comes to know of the mess (if he is not told about it).He will try to find out where the mistake happened and will take the second labourer to task. He may also loose the job because he may not have enough time to fill the gaps. Certainly the second labourer will loose all further contracts of work.
On the other hand if the in-charge knows about the fault, he will certainly make the working lot more cautious and supervise it in a way that the task is done without any flaws. He will be thankful to the first labourer for alerting him.
The story may end up in a way that in future the first labourer may get a contract himself and he is on a higher pedestal compared to the people with whom he started.
We can conclude that mistakes do happen in life, but the winner is the one who learns from those mistakes and accepts his flaws, and make up his mind not to commit it again.
The one who do not accept their weaknesses always remain in the limited space ,they were before closing all doors to a happy successful life.

The Belief In Life
At times we feel so down and dull in life that it seems ,what are we "doing here".
We all are here because we were chosen to be here on this earth. God wants something from us and so we are serving some purpose. We create a world around us and get indulged in it and then we enjoy at times and we lament the other.
When the times are bad, we forget the happier times and start blaming the Almighty. I will not say to compare your sorrows with others because everybody has to suffer from their pack of sorrows and there is no gain saying to it.
The only thing is as we celebrate our happier times, we should stay calm and dutiful, in our bad times. There is a saying,"The surest thing about luck is that it changes". So friends wait for the times to change. You have to keep patience and work to a better tomorrow. The more patient and hardworking you are, the faster will be the reccovery.Stop making mess around what went wrong. Work positively ahead.
I will cite an example of a cancer patient Suma Dwarkanath (an actor), who has long been endeavoring to come out for her disease and the good news is she is "recovering".
For a common man the news of being a cancer patient can devastate them and ruin their and their loved ones life completely. It is not easy for everybody to start working on the healing. Somewhere or the other the death seems to be lurking around.
One has to fight this stigma and then there is no looking back.Suma has been following breathing exercises, spiritual healing besides her routine medications. She will survive all odds because she has the right attitude to live. She is the one who is above all normal commoners who are cribbing for not having something or the other in this life. They tend to forget that the best gift is life and above all the attitude to lead it happily.
We should always endeavor to live happily .You cannot foresee if it is going to be long or short. If we think if we have lived 100 years, we are the most successful and the happiest people,then this is wrong.
A life well lived is the best one.Dont compare lives,may be your at the best side.

Patience Pays
The lesson of patience is not easy to understand and learn. It takes time as well as a lot of brains. You may have seen people who are consistently working hard and seem to be of compromising types. They seem to be aloof what is happening around themselves and behave as if they don't care. Even if somebody says harsh words or ridicules them, they don't mind.
To a person who is always willing to fight for his cause may find such people meek and sometimes coward.
I would like to share one incident on this behaviour. There was an inter college tennis tournament organised at my college. Many students from various colleges participated along with the players of my own college. The players of my college had won the last championship so they were bubbling with confidence.
The tournament started .My college mates were winning the initial matches. Then we saw a new entrant from a different college. He was fat enough to roll like a ball if he fell on the ground. The other disadvantage was, the sport's venue and the crowd was not his own. I don't remember if anybody came to cheer him.
He turned out to be a marvelous player as his shots found no resistance from any player. What reminds me most of him was that my college mates made all funny jokes and slogans around his waist girth and his small mistakes but there was a "WALL" that stood amongst us that time. The guy played with a sincere heart.
To amuse us sometimes he used to smile at our comments.
The matches went on and so did the discouraging statements for the guy. Even my college mates didn't want to give up. And off course how could they take some other persons side when our champions were there on the court.
By the semifinals, there were some surprises in the slogan deliveries. After every hooting statement there was also a funny apology.
In the finals the guy won and all in the audience were in full praise for the guy, not only for his "great match' but also for his "great attitude".
If you believe in yourself you should have the patience to stay with the beleif.Sometimes it is matter of seconds, sometimes years and sometimes a matter of lifetime.
Patience always pays. It should be made a habit. It is something that is sometimes in your genes only if you are lucky but sometimes it has to be cultivated with a "never say die attitude".
I will come back with some more stories.
Why not "you" make one.
Happy reading.

You Are The One
As you endeavour to do something ,you should be aware of your capacities and should have a belief on them.Self belief is an important ingredient of success.
Alexander ,the great warrior, always motivated his soldiers to believe on oneself and charge ahead.Many a times we don't believe on ourselves make a mistake.
I remember when I was appearing for kindergarten enterance I rubbed my complete examination answer sheet on seeing my neighbour doing the same.I thought we have to erase all what we have written and write something else .Thankfully later on my class invigilator told me not do that and asked me to write again.My neighbour had rubbed it off because she had written the whole thing wrong.
This is a kid's story but don't you think we as adults are also affected by external factors.
Sometimes time demands us to be practical and consult others before doing any work.That is a good habit to share other people's experience because that saves time.
But we should know to distinguish between taking consultations and being affected adversly.Sometimes we are so badly affected by people that we loose our confidence and identity.There are events in our life that can completely devastate our existence.It can happen to anybody.We should know the apt time to "STOP" them.
If we are "positively creative" ,there should be nothing to stop us.It may be difficult in the beginning but you should first make yourself "deservable" to "desire" anything and then move ahead.Nothing should deter you.
Every effort leads to a good result.You have to believe in this because if something doesn't come to you easily and if you have tried ,your effort must be busy building something else which is still beautiful.

Fighting The Fears
Whenever we start some work it is quiet obvious we may suffer from inner inhibitions.That is normal.It may seem to you that "this work" is really a tough task.For this fear there is only one answer "be prepared".There is no substitute to hard work.
As I have written earlier don't just jump on to things because they seem to be too easy or too lucrative .Start things with a firm mind and a serious thought .It is your utter responsibility to give respect to what you do.I don't mean the work should lack fun but dont make yourself or the work look funny.
There are certain fears in life which are required as they show that your reflexes are working.When you take your hand away from the candle flame ,does'nt mean you are a coward .That simply shows your ability to protect yourself.
These reflexes are inborn and the mother nature has provided senses to all the organisms to protect themselves.
However our tendency to protect ourselves should not override the will to work .We should not stay inside our houses all the time because we may suffer from the cold weather or we may get sun tanned.We are all born to accomplish some or the other task and we should endeavour to stay on the God's side as we are helping Him by doing the task destined to us.
We should utilise our brain and body to the fullest.As it is written in Gita all humans are mortal and they finally end to up to ashes or the soil.We cannot carry this body anywhere after death so we should use our body and senses for all the good purposes.
The fear that what will happen if we fail will go off if we realise that whatever we are doing is going to be "postively creative" and God will help in all the ways He can to complete the same .Forget that people will mock and ridicule you if you fail.The people who have the intentions of ridiculing others on their shortcomings are already weak.You should pity them and neglect them.Move ahead as many supreme tasks are waiting to be accomplished by you.
As it is many times said ,one does'nt fail till the time they stop all the efforts.
