Are we violent by nature?

The most dangerous and lethal killer on our planet is not the lion or tiger or the great shark but a weak and tiny creature known as man. History proves this, 1,50,000 people were killed and many more perished in order to conquer kalinga. 37 million people suffered death and injury during world war I and over 60 million were killed in second world war.

These genocides were carried out by humans, people like you and me. Man involves himself in mindless violence both on his own species as well as on other species. UN study has found out that nearly 20 million tons of fish are caught every year, 25% of this never reaches the market. It’s just dumped. This killing is faster than the breeding of fish which is ecocide.

This nature of humans is not prevalent in other species as they kill on need basis only. Every now and then we read about terrorist attacks, this is again an instance of mindless violence, terrorists are dedicated people who believe they are participants in a dynamic social or political process.

In most entertainment forms and in the actions of governments, there’s a streak of violence running through. One can see this even walking around the neighborhood, watching and listening to people, Violence – gross, subtle, physical, emotional and psychological – is everywhere. Victims and aggressors abound.

Before drawing any conclusion , I request all the members and readers of this blog to express their views.

Be Innovative

To manage your time better means to live your life in such a way that you are able to accomplish more, so that at the end of each day you can realize measurable results and enjoy a sense of fulfillment. This always involves learning to do things differently so that the results are more efficient and effective than before. Learning to manage your life and your time isn't tough job. Anyone can do it! In fact, it is often the simple things you can do that will make great differences. Sometimes you even have to go backward in order to go forward.

I want to explain a small exercise that may make my intentions clear.

First, grab a pencil and paper. Think back to the time you started school. One of the first things you learned was how to identify shapes. Next you learned to draw them. On that sheet of paper I want you to do something very simple. Draw one triangle. Isn’t it a simple job? Yes it is! Now, draw as many triangles as you can in thirty seconds. Stop!! Count how many you were able to draw. Write down that number. Do you think there might be another way to complete this activity and draw more in less time?

Start at one side of the paper and draw connected W's all the way across the page. Now put a line across the top and the bottom. See how many you can draw in twenty seconds using this method. Doesn’t that create many triangles? In only a few seconds you have learned to do this activity more effectively in a much shorter amount of time. A seemingly insignificant change can make a significant difference in what can be accomplished in a given amount of time.

What if you could get four or five times as much done each day by making a simple change?

Would that work for you?

If so, always be on the lookout for "new" ways to do "old" things, and keep your mind open to using alternative methods and plans of action. Be innovative and flexible. I believe that there is no age of learning right things. It doesn’t matter how old are you, it all means your eagerness to learn new things and implementing them. After all innovations, creativity and a directed zeal lead to great changes.

What are you waiting for? Just start innovating and discovering before your competitors. I wish you all Best of hard work !

Friends

Friends.

What are they?
Who are they?
How do you know you have a friend?

Everyone needs friends whether you realize it or not. One reason for this is that no one was meant to stand alone against the entire world. We are people who get further faster when we work together.

How can you tell if someone is a friend? First of all it is a comfort thing. If you have a friend, you feel comfortable with him or her. You can discuss any topic without embarrassment. You can tell him anything. He can tell you anything. Any criticism is delivered without judgement. Any advice is given without prejudice, without expectations and out of the goodness you feel towards that friend.

When something really terrible happens in your life, your true friends are there to support you. With their support, you gain strength you need to overcome obstacles. You can lean on them and they can lean on you when strength is needed.


I have a circle of such friends. Right now I am going through a difficult change in my life and really need them to lean on. Three, in particular, are very good for me now. My Swedish friend helps keep me grounded and cheers me up. My American friend is giving me a lot of things to think about, taking my mind off things I cannot change. My British friend is offering prayer and support in a large way. I know prayer works. I have an Indian friend who, although much younger than I, can offer great wisdom when we speak about the terrible things in our lives.

All of these friends are very special to me and I am so very fortunate to have met them. I would not change any one of them.
