NARA'S POSTCARD

§         Negative thinking is one of the most contagious diseases around.

§         What we do we become stronger in.

§         Humans have a natural ability to want desire, aspire, yearn, and long for.

§         Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble.

§         Love yourself, others and everything around you more and more each day.

§         Acceptance is such an important part of happiness, contentment, health and growth that some people have called it “the first law of personal growth.”

§         Nature goes on being nature in its own natural way.

§         Accept everything around you, everything inside you, everything about you.

THE REASONABLE MAN ADAPTS HIMSELF TO THE WORLD; THE REASONABLE ONE PERSISTS IN TRYING TO ADAPT THE WORLD TO HIMSELF. - GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

“Don’t impose on me what you know,

I want to explore the unknown

And be the source of my own discoveries.

Let the known be my liberation, not my slavery.

The world of your truth can be my limitation;

Your wisdom my negation.

Don’t instruct me; let’s walk together.

Let my richness begin where yours ends.

Show me so that I can stand

On your shoulders.

Reveal yourself so that I can be

Something different.

 You believe that every human being

Can love and create.

I understand, then, your fear

When I ask you to live according to your wisdom.

You will not know who I am

By listening to yourself.

Don’t instruct me; let me be.

Your failure is that I be identical to you.”

By Umberto Maturana, Chilean Biologist.

WHY DO WE HAVE AGED GOVERNORS FOR EACH STATE?

AUSTERITY STARTS BY ABOLISHING THE GOVERNORS POST...WHEN NEEDED THE PRESIDENT CAN APPOINT SUITABLE PERSON AS GOVERNOR FOR LOOKING AFTER THE STATE...

DO YOU AGREE WITH ME?

HOLDING ON TO ANGER

IS LIKE GRASPING A HOT COAL

WITH THE INTENT OF THROWING IT AT SOMEONE ELSE;

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO GETS BURNED - BUDDHA 

Priyanka Chopra (Actor): Appreciation is not a prerogative of the entertainment business alone. Every one of us, irrespective of what we do, will appreciate the appreciation! But there is a catch here – in order to get appreciation, someone has to want to show appreciation. It simply means that if there is something that touches you, it is imperative that you express it. Whether it is a good meal, a nice outfit, a nice gesture, or a great story, anything that is a job well done. Nothing is better than to hear a few words telling you that! It really is that simple. (Motivation)

K. T. Thomas (Former Judge of the Supreme Court of India): It is indeed an agonizing exercise for the security staff of air lines and the security agencies to subject every passenger to pre-embarkation frisking and scrutinizing minutely all baggage. Yet, by and large the security staff does it with dedication because they know they are thus ensuring the safety of the airborne passengers. To exempt some persons from security-checks by categorizing them as VVIPs is but the consequence of a hangover of a feudal and colonial culture. (Security)

Y. C. Deveshwar (Chairman, ITC Limited, India): It is indeed a tragedy that more than half of the global population is still plagued by the worst forms of poverty, hunger and disease. Ten per cent of the richest adults in the world own as much as 85 per cent of the world’s household wealth, while the bottom 50 per cent have to contend with only 1 per cent of household wealth. These widening income inequities are indeed a source of wide apread discontent and social alienation. The specter of social unrest and terrorism threaten every corner of the world today. This divide is of even more concern to developing nations. With large numbers of people living on the edge of despair and insecurity, these disparities make them extremely vulnerable and create unstable societies. (Economics)

Ranna Gill (Fashion Designer): Exercise demands whole lot of comfort and shorts in pastels and sleek cuts can play magic. You might not be happy with your fitness regimen but nice workout attire can boost confidence. Looking smart makes exercise fun. I believe wearing a fashionable workout outfit means you are conscious of fitness and are taking it seriously. (Fashion)

Bill Kirkman (Emeritus Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge, U. K.): The U. K. has never had what could properly be called a transport policy. Rather, successive governments of all complexions have reacted to changing needs, tactically rather than strategically. More people owned cars, and so we needed motorways. Some quickly became congested, so we built more. Greater use of public transport might reduce congestion in towns but with bus services, like train services, privatized it was difficult to ensure that appropriate services were provided. (Transport)
