The line that was longer than mine

hey all, 

It has been a while, that I felt like writing something.. probably lost myself, lost my thoughts... life definitely brings us back to them. 

As a child I grew up hearing... whenever you are sad or upset about something, always draw your troubles as a line and look for someone with a longer line.. or rather more troubles. Life gives us many opportunities to grow, live, care and share.... we all lose... losses are again of different kinds.... 

Yet, we look at the world from only a single perspective of our eyes... just take time to single out and sit in the midst of your family, friends, office, acquaintances or even strangers, your country ... just watch them, try to know them and observe... then just close your eyes and weigh all their troubles against yours.... the world suddenly seems huge but again your world seems to be a tiny speck... draw lines, the length of each line would be based on different issues.... we suddenly realize that the world is and people are reeling from far bigger ,also unknown and unheard troubles.... You might realize that against their lines ,,  yours might be smaller, or may be it is just a dot or you haven't even started drawing.

Yes all of us are in problems, probably because we are looking at them.... but just draw your line of troubles against someone else's line of troubles... I bet each of us would end up with smaller lines.... 

.... The line .....that was longer than mine....

Lessons of Life



Tame your mind to be mindful, not to hurt others. 
Tame your mind to be unmindful, not to hurt self.

Never lose hope, but never carry the burden of lost Hope, it makes life heavier!
Be Hopeful, but settle where hope shows the limit as too much hope can turn into a dangerous obsession!

Have a foresight, Have a forethought but be brave to face what comes by!
Try to reach the horizon, but first set your horizon!

A decision today is the walk tomorrow,
A mistake today is the guidance tomorrow,
A wisdom learned today, is a treasure tomorrow,
Respect earned today is an armour tomorrow.

There is a very faint line between realism and pessimism!
Be optimistic when you approach life but be realistic when you accept life!
Optimism is a good approach as long as it does not pile up the desires!

Love gives happiness,
Satisfaction gives peace…Peace

One has to lose for someone else to win! Loss and gain are the two sides of the same coin.
Victory is a reward to be remembered! Loss is a lesson never to be forgotten!

Never ignore your walk, as the footprints left behind pave the path for your generations to come!
The most precious gift you can give someone is "YOUR TIME" for it can neither be returned nor regained!
