Over and Over again!

Hello all the wonderful people out there! 🙂

I hope the year 2015 began with a bang for each one of you (I mean a bang of happiness and not sadly like the one happening in Pakistan or France…) Okay, I didn’t want to bring that up but such events always trigger strong emotions right? I think  the terrorists need more blessings to be able to realize what “good” they’ve been doing!

Anyway, so I hope you’ve all been keeping positively well, content, satisfied and peaceful inside.

I’ve got a little story to share today –

” A wise man sat in the audience and cracked a joke.
Everybody laughed like crazy.
After a moment, he cracked the same joke again.
This time, less people laughed.
He cracked the same joke again and again.
When there was no laughter in the crowd,
he smiled and said : 
You can’t laugh at the same joke again and again,
but why do you then keep crying over the same thing over and over again? “

Beautiful message right? This year let’s not think about what’s gone over and over again and let us instead focus on and enjoy the very present that there is, automatically, the future will be good! 🙂

Love and peace to all ❤

25 Life Lessons from Albert Einstein!

 

Albert Einstein is one of my most favourite persons from history and here I share these 25 life lessons from this great individual. 🙂

1. Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

2. Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.

3. Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.

4. If people are good mostly only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

5. A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.

6. Love is a better teacher than duty.

7. If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

8. No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

9. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

10. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

11. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

12. Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.

13. Force always attracts men of low morality.

14. Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

15. A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

16. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

17. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

18. It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

19. Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.

20. Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

21. Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

22. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

23. Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

24. Information is not knowledge.

25. Never lose a holy curiosity.

So, focus on the present and live in the moment, not let your imagination cease, follow your curiousity with priceless perseverance, learning from mistakes and  creating value, experience will give knowledge, just learn the rules and then play better! 😀

Speaking is a lesson in learning how to listen;

Listening is a lesson in learning how to speak.

Those who always speak don’t always listen;

Those who always listen don’t always speak.

2

A working society is a society that gains and therefore works

A society working purely for material gain works against society

3

Help yourself, but first, help others to help themselves, and then you will automatically be helping yourself

4

A nation is similar to a club. It has members who abide by its identity, rules and customs that make it unique.

A club can easily be transformed into its weapon form – the club;

Excluding and elitist, held high and proud, and brutally brought down to attack and suppress an outsider.

A nation of individuals must take steps to avoid becoming the club.

5

Constantly examining the past breeds depression

Constantly examining the future breeds speculation

The relief for both is to live presently anticipating

6

True love is like when two sets of eyes meet with instant recognition preceding passion;

They penetrate and merge together, yearning for touch;

The two souls blend and experience endlessness in the transient moment.

7

Trying to say hinders the spoken waterfall

When speech is effortless, you are riding the waterfall

Simultaneously conquering fear and expressing delight
