You have to be lucky to have a mission in life. What and where do you want to see yourself? As a result, you will work hard towards it. You will go against all odds and achieve it. In the case of Arnold, he was dedicated enough to body building and moving to America. He …

parents
I might sound controversial with this post but I felt like sharing it. Our Indian society still keeps us under constant watch and the views of our family members.

waste
How much time do we waste analysing what is not working right? How many hours go about cribbing things around? How many times do we get angry over past occurrences? How many times do we have to grumble over how things should or could have been in life? Our life has limited time. We could …

Divide
The world is more divided than in the past. A few are making the most of it by becoming wealthy and powerful. The wounds of these divides are still lingering around. Mass killings for power or religion have become a common occurrence.
Checklist
Living a life on a checklist gives a robotic living vibe. Seeing deep down, we realize it has a positive. You can offload repeat activities to it and save the brain from triggering it. Benjamin Franklin was a master at it. He had a checklist with vice and virtues. He would follow it religiously and …
