Find The Leader In You

Many a time you find yourself in a situation where you have to solve a problem simply because none else in the group could do something about it. How would you go about it?

Sometimes a situation is trusted on you by your friends and acquaintances. It may be a project or something similar to it. They compel you to take it up as they feel you have the needed potential and skill to finish it successfully or are you the exact opposite , that is you manage to lose yourself in group? Even otherwise if someone notices you and tries to give an assignment that calls for your initiative and decision making. What do you do in such a situation? Do you beg off with some excuses?

When such a situation arises, do you have what it takes to lead, to imitate action, to make decisions for yourself or for the  group? In short , are you a leader.?

In today’s world , a person is often thrown into situations that require thinking, action and ability to make spot decision. Then what makes a leader? Whatever may be the definition, a leader is one who initiates action, maintains discipline, and is aware of his group’s needs besides having some special qualities such as courage, enthusiasm, self confidence, sense of humour etc that sets him apart from others.

In order to problem into ourselves, to know whether we posses leadership qualities , we must put to ourselves certain questions, such as whether we can accept challenges, face difficult and baffling situations, consider how fast we can react and spur to actin, how well we can manage friends and acquaintances to get them do what needs to be done and how well you think and plan to resolve a problem or a conflict . Most importantly yo u must know whether  you can get along with a self –motivated, responsible and knowledgeable groups or a lazy, defiant and less knowledgeable one.

When you probe thus you must find in yourself your weaknesses and strengths. A good leader is one who manages to get things done through others people; He directs and encourages toehrs to do what needs to be done.

A leader will have patience and perseverance to explain and achieve the objects of a project. He must be able to elicit the co-operative  of his group members with less resistance. If these potentialities  are found in you, you must put them to proper use.

Leadership can be acquired through training, discipline right attitude and the will to cultivate it. You must understand that only few have the privilege to lead and that you too can do so, provided you cultivate leadership qualities patiently. You should be calm, with presence of mind, and acquire the capability 1o think of a solution to a problem. Remember, a good leader does not hesitate to accept the responsibility attached to the job. You must gain the ability to learn from mistakes and failures and learn to improve with experience. This quality marks out the leader  from a mere follower. Once you learn thus your ability to teach and train you subordinates makes. You  a good leader. This is necessary so that one can delegate tasks. Remember, only an experienced workman. Can rectify the mistakes and if necessary takes u the job on to his shoulders. In his subordinate’s absence.

Sometimes you may have some though nuts to tackle in your group. You must learn the fact of tackling them by properly relating to them. In later stages you will succeed in eventually making them work.

Therefore, a good leader is definitely one who is in full control and on top of everything; he is able to devise a system that allows him the flexibility and privilege of knowing what is going on. Whether or not he is present. Cultivate the above qualities, and see whether it makes a lot of difference in your life.

Love them Any way

People are unreasonable illogical and self-centred.

Love them any way!

If you do good, people will accuse you  of selfish ulterior motives.

Do good anyway!

If you are successful , you will win, false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway!

The good you do to-day will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway!

Honesty and frankness make you face harmfulness.

Be honest and frank anyway!

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight

Build anyway!

Some people complain about the print , when all they need is better eye glasses.

A prediction of the future based on the past , for which the forecaster demands payment in the present.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

The love of God, therefore, is the surest safeguard for all people and all time. It we cannot help serving those who are stronger than ourselves in every way ,it is always advisable to serve one who is the strongest in the whole universe. God is that one Being without a second, who is the infinite repository of all that is good or desirable, and in whom no evil has any place. He is omnipotent and omniscient, without any equal or superior. Thus, if somehow or other we can make friends with Him, realizing Him either as Father or master, or safety here as well as hereafter is ensured.

 

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.

Live A day At A Time

Live A day At A Time

Each day is a life time in miniature. To awaken each morning is to be born again, to fall asleep at night is to die to the day. In between waking and sleeping are the golden hours of the day. What we think we cannot do for a lifetime. We can do for a daytime. “Anyone” wrote Robert Louis Stevenson, “Can live Sweetly, Patiently , Lovingly, Purely, till the Sung goes down”. Anyone can hold his temper for a day and guard the words he speaks, anyone can carry his burden heroically for one day. Anyone can strive to be happy for a day and to spread happiness around, anyone can radiate live for a day. Anyone can rise above fear for a day and meet each situation with courage. Anyone can spend some time for a day in silence and contemplation and prayer , thanking the Lord for all His blessings. Anyone can be kind and thoughtful and considerate for a day.

Sir William Osler pointed out that just as ships are kept afloat by airtight compartments, living in daylight compartments will help us avoid wrecking our lives. Osler gives us a magic word with which to face the day; Equanimity. The supreme art of living is to strive to live each day well. When we fail and fail short, let us forgive ourselves and consider the words of Emerson; Finish everyday and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders. And absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you will begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enjoyed.” Live a day at a time and remember that tomorrow is another day.

Green Tea

Even as you reach for cool drinks throughout the day, try and add a cup of green tea to your routine. Green tea is known to be high in antioxidants and works well in the summer because it also provides the much needed hydration that your body craves for this season. You can even use it n a face mask to purify your skin.

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

We in modern times want an explanation as to how one can go to heaven by doing certain rituals. The Vedic philosophers have given the proper explanation. They find the nature of matter and of individual souls, which are eternally lorded over by an all powerful, all –knowing, all gracious and infinite . being who regulates every movement of the materials universe. They say that his Supreme Being has invited all souls, from the highest to the lowest, to this banquet hall of infinite space, Souls are eternal, hence their hunger also is infinite; and nothing short of an infinite dish can satisfy such a hunger . the universe is that infinite dish, spread in the infinite hall of eternal space. The whole  universe is really the food for all souls ; there is hunger in our eyes, in our tongues, in all the others senses. The eyes hunger for forms, the ears hunger for sounds, the tongue hungers for tastes, the skin hungers for touches, the nose hungers for smells. And the mind stores up all these sense hungers in the bag of memory, and has its own hunger for prying into the mystery or creation. Thus the whole universe is necessary to satisfy all these hungers. The five organs of activity-the hands, the legs, the organ or speech, the generative organ and the rectum- have all their special hungers. So altogether thee are eleven sorts of hungers.

I have heard that your father was a gentleman

Thomas Moore, the poet, came of a humble family, a fact which made him to be proud of. At the height of his fame, he was invited to join a fashionable London Club dinner. At the meeting he was approached by a Lord who said to him, “Mr, moore I came to understand that your father was a shopkeeper” Indeed it is so and a very honest one too”, replied Moore. How interesting , said the noble man, “ May I ask why you did not follow his footsteps” Because sir my talents are limited”, replied Moore and added. “I have heard that your father was a gentleman, why you do not follow his footsteps”

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Such analysis can direct the mind of man towards his own real nature and towards Him who is his real friend through eternity . Madhvachrya says that though tun universe is made up of three factors –matter, souls and God-still these are independent existences our goal is God. Real happiness and real wisdom, He alone can give . in order to go to Him we must go away from the world. We belong to God and not to matter, since we are spirit. How are we to go to God? This world, this universe, is infinite in every way. Its age is eternal, and its extent is infinite; even the swiftest locomotive engine can neve take me out of space. But in order to go to God, I must go out of the world, because God si extra cosmic. How? Here all Aryan philosophers agree Sri Madava says I am distinct from the world; so I can separate myself from the world, so I can separate myself from it by closing the gateway of my sense. Thus I can go towards God. Let me analyse a portion of the world to find out its nature, for it is like understanding the nature of the ocean by analysing a few drops of its water. Take for instance, the chair before me, it has from, hardness, etc. and form, touch and taste exist so long as there are eyes, skin, and tongue, by which we perceive them. In this way, if the world si full of phenomena, no phenomenon an exist without the corresponding sense of  perception. I too ,just be one of the factors by which all these have come into existence, if I can separate myself in any way from these then the world of phenomena will vanish.

But Madhavachrya also believes in the indestructible nature of phenomenon when he localises them in the eternal and infinite mind of God.
