Every being is born to experience sweet and sour aspects of life. Several people are fairly happy, but many of us also wish they could be a bit more satisfied and enjoy life invariably.

Do you adapt quickly to bad incidents and bounce back, or do you continue to dwell on a bad event and let it keep you down? Someone has rightly said, " Falling down is an accident, staying down is a choice ". So, whenever you experience setbacks try to overcome it as early as possible. Usually, it's not the strongest or the most intelligent who are high-flyers but the ones who are most adaptable to change, are true achievers. Happiness and peace are precious feelings to...

When you go for shopping, many times in order to find a particular product of better quality you proceed to few other shops in spite of finding the most appropriate material. You advance with a belief that you may get even better, hoping something new and exciting than what you already found earlier in a shop.

Mindset - An expression of Belief System ! We generally come across two types of people, one with a " Growth Mindset " and other with a " Fixed Mindset ". Can you predict which of these two mindsets favours success or helps people to succeed more likely ? Here's what you should know to clarify this... People with "Growth Mindset" are more likely to take risks because they are interested in growth than in protecting themselves from the possibility of mistakes and failure.   They do not consider "Nature over Nurture"  but "Nurture over Nature". They are of the opinion that careful planning and ongoing learning have more weightage than natural ability.   On the other hand, people with "Fixed Mindset" remain stagnant in their abilities and do not try to change with environment or time. People with "growth mindset" take risks, learn and grow; 'Missing out an opportunity' is a concept they fi...

Self-control  - The Enchiridion to personal development ! Self-control is the power to control one's emotions and desires whenever and wherever required.

We should have a clear understanding of when to get close to ...

Life is glorious despite the sufferings and problems. Hold on, ...when we analyse this sentence carefully, we find that " l ife is glorious not despite the sufferings and problems but because of them" . We should be thankful that we don't have everything which we desire. If we did, then what would there be to look forward to ? It is aptly said that one who has never perceived darkness cannot understand the value of light. Similarly, one who has never experienced dejection cannot appreciate pleasure.  Complete smoothness in life is only a superficial truth because there will always be problems at every step of life.
