Society has associated success with the accumulation of wealth. The more money you have, the more successful you are. Is success the manifest of our wealth accumulation? Or is it about seeing people around you, believers getting better with you? Is it not about being together, going hand in hand with our life journey? How …

perfect
Are we all perfect? Even the moon has a dark spot. Lotus grows in the swamp and diamond deep beneath the coal mines. How can we expect humans to be perfect at all things? We are broken, imperfect in one or the other way. I will not go in the deep how Mozart was deaf …
judge
Every minute, every meeting, we are judging our counterparts. It is a human tendency; we like and dislike people on our experience, observation, and our likings. I get advice from friends and people on how I should talk, dress, and act when on a sales call. The problem for me is, I have never followed …
others
Who are we to judge, define, and comment on the actions of others? Are we so complete within ourselves that we have got the world to have an opinion? It is so easy to get carried away in the noise or have animosity over other actions/appreciation. We will become better by acquiring self-knowledge rather than …

luck
I keep hearing from folks that we make our own luck. I feel luck has some part to play with our life. I still remember going to a cyber cafe and searching for How to become a hacker and getting Eric S Raymonds book in yahoo search(there was no google then). Time and again I …
ways
There are multiple ways of seeing an issue. Sometimes those are not issues but improvement advice. It is too easy to get carried away and get on to the argument and screw up a friendship. Our mind acts like a magic box and; how we react to a problem. The situation shows us the way …
Schopenhauer
Schopenhauer was a crazy philosopher in all sense. His writings were blunt, brute, and to the point. He wants us to think within, focus on our consciousness. Our life is as we see the world around us. The bumper sticker, achievements, medals are of no use apart from shoving the ego. Who is happier? A …
