I sincerely wish you to be intelligent enough rather than being innocent, be practical enough rather than being spiritual and be scientific enough rather than being dogmatic. Yet, I wish you to balance between your emotion and reason, your fancy and reality, or your ideation and action. I explicitly mean that you are not required to sacrifice your happiness to make others happy, to reject your freedom to set others free, and to leave your opportunities to give others opportunities. And, this notion does not mean that you have to deny others from their happiness, to hinder others from their freedom or to grab others’ opportunities as well. Just take yours for yourself and give theirs for themselves. Ironically, the people of this world is generally divided into two major sects by development, not by default: selfless (simpletons) and selfish (exploiters) or you can call them givers and takers. But, what is required today is the unnoticed minority of a third smart sect of people who are ...

There is no complete right or complete wrong. There are only more or less right and wrong. If something is more right than wrong, we deem that a right thing. In the same way, we deem something wrong if that is more wrong than right. Something that is seemingly right at a glance may often not be so in further scrutinies. Judging something to be wrong requires more serious attention than judging something to be right as the former act may invite more serious and adverse consequences than the latter on the judged in case the judgement goes wrong. Hence, it is better not to judge anything if it is not inevitable. Understanding the extent of right and wrong of something and dealing accordingly with that is the best practical approach to something instead of making hasty conclusions about that. Again, our judgements are valid based on various circumstantial conditions like time, place, person, situation, Motive, function, mode and so on. Hence, let us leave the business of judging something ...

Universal Harmony is a beautiful term with a soothing feel and cherishing fancy. But, the feel is sheer fancy for man so far. Yet, I dare dream about a world where we all live in peace and joy. To realise this dream, it takes only a few moments: the moment we understand everyone is equal, the moment we decide to love one another, the moment we reject boundaries of all kinds, the moment we embrace universal fraternity, the moment we respect human dignity and so on. Any one of such genuine moments, I would call, as the magical moment of lightning spark that a human beast is actually upgraded to become a human being and auto promoted to be a real member of the civilized human community in all sense. And, the universal collective of such magical moments is the momentum of our moves to World Peace. That ideal state of global solidarity is actually just three steps away if we are willing to take ours. Each of those steps are powerful enough to crush down the stumbling blocks on its way. We a...

Today, in this discussion, I would like to recommend some positive diet practices for your better health. I suggest those tips, because I found them amazing with extraordinary results as long as I follow them. If you are already suffering from any kind of health issues or going through some kind of treatments, consult with your doctor before you jump into this supplementary diet practice. I cannot say that this is a complete expert plan for your eating habits from today. I consider this as a parallel awareness to keep you alert whenever and wherever you think about picking up something to eat; so that, this will control your food cravings intelligently and your diet behaviours smartly. This restrained behaviour is initially inculcated consciously, and gradually developed to the level of an unconscious practice preventing you from poor choices of food even without your deliberate thinking about them. Don't be disheartened when you fail to follow these four tips during your early day...

We live with small and big aims and goals in our personal and professional life. Some of them are successfully achieved but some others are miserably unattained yet. Bravo to all your accomplished objectives. Because you have proven yourself to be a champion in the pursuit of getting that done. And, this discussion is to consider your unfinished targets. Because they need a detailed revaluation to understand and correct your mistakes in the past for your refreshed future with revived results. When you try to understand your unaccomplished goals, you need to consider two aspects about them. The first one is the nature of your objective and the latter one is the nature of your effort. Some people set very impractical objectives in life; and, they tirelessly work for achieving them. Yet, their objectives remain unachieved even after their long span of try. Some others’ objectives are very practical in nature but they fail in putting their efforts in a systematic manner to yield expected r...

We all have problems, but of different kinds according to our life situations and choices. If Anyone claims that he has no problem at all, make sure that either he is not living or he is not from humankind. The only place you can see people without any problem is a graveyard. Thus says wise men. Cool! But, whatever the philosophies and abstractions about problems we face, we need concrete and pragmatic solutions to them. That's it.  Yes, the actual distance between your problem and its solution is the gap between your proposals and practices to address that. Simple. But, HOW? To understand this in an easy way, take a full size sheet of paper and a pencil. Fold the paper in half to make two columns on it. The left column is for your PROBLEM and the right column is for your SOLUTION. Now, write in the left column on the top as your first question, “What is my problem?” And, write your personal answer under that question. For example, I write, “I have no money” as my personal problem....
