WORRY

Worry

is not a necessity,

but a habit.

SELF

WHERE

one has not seen “self”,

of what use it is to see others?

LIFE

WHAT matters

is not to

add years to your life

but to

add life

to your years.

ATTENTION

Pay attention to your enemies;

For they are the first to discover your mistakes.

LAUGH

Always laugh with others.

Never at them.

HARSH WORDS

Physical injury caused to one will vanish in course of time but not the mental injury inflected by harsh words.

Even when harassed, one must not hit at another’s weak spot nor think or do anything in hate against another. That word at which another world shudders one must not utter.

REAL HAPPINESS

Real happiness can only be obtained by unselfishness.

SILENCE

SILENCE

Silence is one great art of conversation.

VISION

VISION

WILL

WILL

Man is made GREAT or little by his own will and deeds

CONDUCT

CONDUCT

The hair on the head is a thing of beauty. Removed from its place, it becomes filth. Same is the fate of man who falls from his own level of honourable conduct and demean himself.

EXCELLENCE

EXCELLENCE

When the creator desired to see the excellence of his own creations, he created man after his own image.

DIFFICULTY

DIFFICULTY

There is nothing like a difficulty. You should turn adverse circumstances to your advantage.

“Difficulty is only a word indicating the degree of strength requisite for accomplishing particular objects; a mere NOTICE of necessity for exertion, bugbear to children and fools’ only a STIMULUS TO MEN.”

FAITH

FAITH

FAITH is to believe we do not see; and the reward of this FAITH is to see what we believe.

RICHES

RICHES

RICHES are the prettiest and least worthy gifts which god can give to a man. They are apt to betray a man into arrogance.

“Worldly riches are like nuts; many clothes are torn in getting them; many a tooth broken in cracking them, but never a belly filled with eating them.”

NOT EASY

NOT ALWAYS EASY

It is not always easy:

To apologise

To keep trying

To begin over

To think and then act,

To admit error

To be considerate

To be unselfish

To profit by mistake

To take advice

To forgive and forget

To be charitable

To shoulder deserved blame

BUT IT ALWAYS PAYS.

LEARNING

NEVER STOP LEARNING


A business man in North Hills had wood trading business. Gopan was working with that business man for the past over 6 years. He was drawing a petty sum of Rs. 1200/- (US$ 24) per month. He had a big family to support. Thorough out the day, he cut the wood in the jungle. Tired in the evening, he brought the wood to his master’s saw-mill. Many times he requested his master to give him raise; but the master did not heed to his request.

One day, the master employed Jaidu. Jaidu had to show his production of wood from the forest for full one month. It was after one month that his salary was to be fixed.

After a month, the salary of Jaidu was fixed at Rs. 1500/- (US$30).

Gopan was annoyed at this. He complained to the master alleging he is biased.

Master said to Gopan, “ Jaidu cuts and brings more wood than you do.” “How is this possible?”, enquired Gopan raising his eyebrows. Gopan was not believing his master. “ I don’t know, ask Jaidu,” master got rid of Gopan.

Gopan felt ashamed to ask Jaidu. But it was a matter of 25% raise in pay.

This all made Gopan go to Jaidu and ask him the secret of his better performance and production.

Jaidu advised Gopan to accompany him to the forest. On that day, both went to the forest.

Gopan climbed up the tree and remained up the tree till lunch time without any break. After lunch, too, Gopan climbed up the tree and climbed down the tree when his day was off.

Jaidu was climbing down the tree after every hour.

Lo! What is this? Gopan enjoyed less time on the ground as he did not climb down and had cut less wood. On the other hand, Jaidu was coming down the tree off and on and had cut more wood. Jaidu’s wood weighed 50 kgs and Gopan’s weighed 30 kgs. Less work more production. It surprised Gopan. He was sad.

Gopan asked Jaidu, “ How this happened? You enjoyed sleep every hour and even your production is more than that of mine.” Jaidu replied, “ No, my friend, you are mistaken. I was not enjoying sleep when I was on the ground. I sharpened my axe. Your blunt axe cut less wood. My sharpened axe cut more wood.” He realized his mistake. He had not sharpened his axe for a long time and was quarrelling with the new recruited Jaidu and his master.

Gopan understood the fact.

In the same way many people and workers do not realize the importance of “continuous learning” and grumble for pay raise or profits from their businesses. Continuous learning involves attending seminars, listening to the experts in their field of work, improving qualification, learning the new ways to move from lower level of thinking to higher level of thinking, switching from hard work to smart work etc. Read articles on the topics of your work, surf internet for updating your knowledge, buy and read books relating to your job, profession, business, hobby or anything else you do. After all;

What a man is? The total sum of what he has learnt.

MORAL:

KEEP ON LEARNING AND UPDATING YOURSELF

OR

STAND OUT OF THE RACE OF COMPETITION.
