Self Discipline

   We all make plans to do for a day, week, month, year or years but very few of us execute it. It's said in Forbes that there are many important qualities that contribute to a person's achievement and happiness but there is only one that begets sustainable, long term success in all aspects of life : Self Discipline.   Whether in terms of your diet, fitness, work ethic or relationships, self discipline is the number one trait needed to accomplish goals, lead a healthy lifestyle and ultimately be happy.   Self discipline cannot be taught, it comes from learning. It requires practice and repetition. To improve your self discipline, firstly removing of all temptations and distractions is most important. For example if you want to to lose weight, the biggest temptation is junk food and you must remove it out your sight and mind and concentrate on eating healthy stuff.

Speech isn't the most important thing for communication, it's the eyes. Our mothers understood what we want through our eyes, because of our crying. Hence while co...

The many faces that we wear

    Before reading this look into the mirror and try to understand the emotion that you are feeling at the very moment. You might be happy, you may be sad, you could be tired of the hectic day or just outright frustrated or you might feel a combination of many emotions. It's very difficult to fathom the emotions, the feelings. These things cannot be articulated, they can neither be measured. But then look at an infant you can easily determine what emotion he/she is having. Either the baby may be crying or laughing with joy. That is because the child doesn't have to deal with the tyranny of the world that we live in. A child behaves in a similar way both with elders or with children his own age unless he is taught to behave in a certain manner. Till this point the child is innocent but once a child goes to school he starts to realise that I must respect my elders, my teachers even though he likes or not that's when he first learns to wear a mask, a face. Wearing faces me...
