Rome is not built in a day!

This is a renowned proverb which speaks equally about hardwork and patience. The fathom of this saying is that miracles are hard to happen and impossible to achieve without hard work. It is doltish to expect results instantaneously and it surely depicts our immaturity. This is applicable to everyone, right from a toddler to a senate, Often in life, we get vexed after endeavour for a goal once or twice. We start blaming anything and everything around us. We fail to understand that things 'work out' for people who people who 'work hard'.

We must work with our fullest potential and wait for the results patiently. All said and done, patience is the key to success. Hence, one must do their best and stop expecting expeditious results. Understand that sooner or longer our fruit of hard work will  reap and we will definitely enjoy its taste.

The brightest star!.

Whenever I get depressed, I remember this tiny  anecdote narrated by my friend.Once upon a time there used to be a very bright star. All its  neighbouring stars were envious of its brightness and dare not to go beside this star as they wouldn't appear bright if they stood beside this star. Consequently, our little bright star didn't have any friends and was left alone. Due to this, our star sank into loneliness and got depressed day by day. This depression reduced the star's brightness and soon the star lost its brightness completely. The bright star now turned into a black hole and lost its uniqueness.That day I understood that if something sets us apart from the crowd its better to stay alone rather than trying to impress everyone and lose our speciality. Everyone is unique in their own way and if we try to please everyone ,we will end up pleasing none. Just be yourself and spread your charm. 

Why must we be happy?

I don't know how many of you readers feel low and alone but I started feeling alone quite frequently nowadays. The reasons for this pathetic situation of mine are as many as stars.  But just now I listened to a lecture and I felt very connected to it. I would like to share the mistakes I did for finding my happiness hoping that you will not repeat them. If you too feel connected with them, do share with me. I often feel  happy when I have people around me. Basically I am afraid to be alone. But life can't be always as we want and I started feeling alone in my college.

 But I realised today that we must first enjoy our company to enjoy others company. I learnt that if we don't love ourselves why will others love us! And most  importantly I felt I am trying to impress everyone, ending up depressing myself. Also, I realised that the  biggest reason for us to be happy is because we are alive at this moment and the entire universe is with us helping us in our survival, helping us to achieve our dreams, helping us to feel the touch of everything at this moment. What more must we need to be happy!..         

Time Management Skills

"Time and Tide wait for none".This a golden saying known by all of us. Often, in life we say we are running out of time for many activities like exercising or catching up with friends,etc. But we must understand that everyone has time to do everything but the problem arises with time management. The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is only the way they manage their time. Everyone get the same 24 hours in a day but the way we use those 24 hours makes a difference. In order to be successful at your work or at your studies, you need to manage time efficiently. Here are certain tips which I feel you must remember for managing your time.

1. Plan a schedule.
As we know "  A goal without a plan is just a wish" , planning is very important in time management. Take out a piece of paper and list out all the tasks you need to accomplish in that particular day. Prioritize them. Allot time slots for each task and try to implement it accordingly. Though you may not be able to accomplish them completely in the first two days, persistency makes it achievable.
2. Do NOT Procrastinate.
Procrastination is the villain of our life. Postponing the tasks not only makes us lazy but also spoils our schedule. Once we are out of our track we lose confidence and persistence. This leads to a break in our schedule.
3. Analyse yourself.
This is very important step. In our daily routine, we spend so much time on so many things.But  how much time do we spend analyzing our self? . If it is very little, then our  career is at stake. We must spend at least 15 mins analyzing our self every night . We must take a quick review of how we spent the day. Was it productive? Did I go along with my schedule? What tasks I couldn't do? How to rectify them? After getting answering for all these questions, we must try to rectify them.
By following these three simple tips, I hope you will improve your time management skills and get time to do new things.

How to stay optimistic in life?

We often feel alone and life sucks. But do anyone realize why do we feel so?. It all depends on our mindset and our vision of life. If we are positive and optimistic about life, our horizon expands. Our horizon expands in terms of relations and happiness. So, what must we do in order to stay optimistic and stay happy. how to handle the situations when we feel pissed off with life. Here are some ways through which I try to stay positive in my life. I hope these will be helpful to you all also.

1. Create a positive environment

This is the first and foremost thing we have to do in order to stay happy in life. We must avoid saying and listening to negative thoughts. People who are surrounded with persons who discourage them are more likely to become pessimistic. Avoid people who tell you can't do or its impossible to be done. You must try to encourage and motivate people positively and you will definitely find happiness in their achievement.

2.Try to get socialized

Often when we get depressed, we inactivate ourselves from our social life. This is a blunder. We must try to mix with friends around us when we feel depressed because only they can help you to get out of your depression.

3. Recite a mantra within yourself

Choose a good one liner and recite it like a mantra whenever you feel down. One lines like "Be the change you want to see in the world" or "Everything happens for our own good" Or" It's better to lit a candle than curse the darkness" would be helpful. 

4.Maintain a Journal.

Try to list out the reasons what are making you feel sad in a book or journal. Try to analyse these reasons and check if they are valid reasons or are they too silly to get yourself deprived of your happiness.

5. Don't define your happiness by your environment

This is most important and the most difficult thing to overcome. We often give the key of our happiness to others hands. If they speak nicely with us, we would be happy, else no. If they praise us, we would be happy. Here we must understand that we are giving the control of our happiness to others which is very foolish. I strongly feel the control of our life must be in our hands only. 

6.Exercise daily

Try to mediate or exercise everyday as these will not only keep us fit but also by doing these activities we give time for our self, for the well being our body. To make the world love you, you must first start loving yourself kada!...

7. Try to help others.

When we help others, the smile which we bring on their face gives us euphoria of life. This will boost your positivety. So, figure out what you have and share it with others generously.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE(MAD)

One of the most difficult questions to answer is to define what life is. Everyone of us have our own definition of life. All of us desire to design our life in our own style. Some want to get settled in life as early as possible while others want to enjoy living just at that moment. I was that kind of girl who wanted to seek a job as early as possible and get settled in my life. But as days are passing by I am understanding what life is. 

The credit for my realization is my College and my friends. They taught me how to handle my life, my relations and most importantly my mood swings. I started seeing life in a new vision. I understood now that life is not about making a living, it is all about making a DIFFERENCE. Be aware if you are getting caught in the rat race, as I got caught up. You are right if you are not going in the path where 90% of the people are going. You are right if your views are different from others. You are right if you stand out of the crowd. You are defining your life correctly if you are not like the 90%. After all, at the end of the day before we sleep, we must be the reason for someone's smile and that defines life.
