Learn to speak well.

In order to speak well, one needs clarity in thought and purpose. If you are a confused person, your expressions would also be confusing. In order to develop good speaking skill one needs thoughts and knowledge. If you do not possess knowledge and thoughts then likely chances are you will speak aimlessly.

Good speaking is nothing but reproducing whatever thoughts or knowledge you possess in your mind through words in a brief yet complete manner. A good practice could be to try and reproduce the knowledge you acquired from a lesson that you've recently learnt or reproduce the knowledge from a conversation that you have heard. In the process you can make improvements from the earlier instance by adding deleting or modifying information. Choosing to speak as often as you can and constantly and consciously trying to put in words all that you know is the only way to learn to speak better.

Act - don't react. Choose your actions

You are a human being with an unlimited number of choices. Choose what you want. Develop an awareness of yourself. Understand what you are and you will  find that you are a bundle of infinite energy. You can do whatever you want if you choose to apply your mind to it. Never blame others for what you are. You are a person who choose what you are. You should not blame others for your behaviors. This an excuse weak people give. Be responsible for what happens in your life. You can make tremendous advancement if you are determined and if you do not blame others. People who choose their actions do not blame others. People who react to others are like those who do not have a mind of their own. They are controlled by others' actions. So they blame others.

Special Gifts for Humans.

Nature has been very kind to us and bestowed on us special gifts which, no other living being has. These special gifts are called endowments. Our ability to think and respond to our life situations is the greatest ability that nature gives us. Right now you can think of whatever you want, imagine whatever you want and visualize it in your mind. Apart from this ability to comprehend we have one more gift - that is gift of choice. Each one of you can make a choice. If you are right now given a bicycle as well as mobike and asked to choose any one between them then you will exercise your choice according to what you want. But if you call your pet dog and give it a choice of two different dog collars it will not be able to choose. The difference between us and animals is that we can make choices and choose what we want.

Loving yourself does not mean you should dislike others.

You should love yourself so that you can love others. If you dislike others and love only yourself then you are going to grow up into a very selfish person who never amounts to any good for the society. Just the same way as you are beautiful, every person in the world is beautiful. So respect and treat everyone with the same love with which you treat yourself. Only a person who dislikes himself disrespect others. A person who has a high self-esteem will never disrespect others but treats them with love, kindness and care.

So love yourself and love others - because you deserve to give and receive love.

YOU AND THEM.

You will fearlessly look them in the eye.
They will have to face you on an equal footing.
You will pick the side you believe in.
They will have to stop straddling the fence.
You will raise the questions.
They will have no choice but to answer every one of them.
You will speak your mind.
They will not have the option of turning a deaf ear.
You will challenge their decisions.
They will not be able to ignore your opinions.
You will demand to know where they are leading you.
And they will not refuse to follow when you show them the path towards a better nation.

A Thought for Today

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

FEAR

Fear is a feeling. We feel fear and similarly we feel courageous. Fear stops you from functioning fully and creatively. If you are afraid then you are not going to perform at your best.

Fear is a very strong feeling which can bring us down in life. Success never comes to people who are afraid. People who fear never venture out and do anything adventurous. Fear stops us from functioning fully.

The opposite of being afraid is being courageous. Being confident and full of conviction.

When you face fear, it won't be so dreadful after all. Most people discover this in their lives that what they are afraid of generally turns out to be something that they really enjoy. The fact is that if we do not try out a new activity because we are afraid that we won't do it well then we would never get to know how much we'd actually enjoy that activity.

Face your fears, with positive images in your mind and you will grow up to be a confident and courageous person.
