Of wanting to be noticed....ego is the dominant factor in our success. ...

What makes someone an attention seeker?Why they want to feel that they belong with the people they seek approval from.Why some people always crave the spotlight...?Einstein had to wait for 10 long years to taste recognition.Abraham Lincoln too was a 'Mr. Nobody' until the age of 40 and even when he did begin on his arduous Journey there was little if any hope in sight.It is very easy to live deluding ourselves that we are free, when in truth we are in our ego.The brain does nothing in response to failure.In other words, if you perform a task and are successful at it, our brain physically changes.And furthermore, those changes linger for several seconds, making a repeated success much more likely.But that is not true of our brain. It actually learns more from success than from failure.

In other words,The false identification with ourselves is very limiting.Think about it.It got me thinking though.I constantly find correcting myself when I find that I’m restricting my actions to what I think is expected and acceptable of someone of ‘my stature.Do any of you reading this post too admit to the fact that you have failed at anything in life? Do you admit it to yourself never mind others? Ego can be either blatant or subtle, but either way it is still deadly.You see whenever we hide such important data from ourself or others that's our ego kicking in again. It wants us to stay the same. It doesn't want us to take risks or move out of our comfort zone. If we are in our ego we are not free.The false identification with ourselves is very limiting.

There are many teachers , preachers and self-proclaimed saviors of human race who are living in self-deception and don’t even know it (or actually won’t admit it).There's another aspect of this belief that lectures don't work.Lack of humility is irresponsibility. Refusing to see our own ego is irresponsibility.I feel something like this very deeply in my psyche. I needed to lose myself in order to find myself.In order to find our true self but sometimes it helps to take a leap of faith.I’m constantly changing and evolving and I like who I am NOW. Right now! I’m not who is or was last year or even last month and every day I discover something new about myself, something I never knew I had in me.In order to find your true self but sometimes it helps to take a quantum leap of faith.

CHEERS TO LIFE !

Street talk!

Gray Life on the street More people in our country lack of homes today.They live under the flyovers,under old broken bridges,inside plumbing pipeline, near railway stations, road dividers, pavements - they are everywhere.Every single day.We all pass them by uncaringly. Daily. Even me included. It is not easy seeing someone trying to survive on the streets of the city, and our reactions can range from pity, to anger, to choosing not to see the person at all. ... what it's like to have no home. Homelessness is about more than just poverty.And on bone chilling winters s ome arere visibly distressed and freezing, barely able to feel their hands...

A nostalgic trip to memory lane.

Just some time ago i got in touch with many of my old school pals through social networking site Facebook.Thanks to Technology which has brought us all closer.Connecting with long-lost friends is like checking out those class group photo session.Whether its Facebook , Twitter or any medium of social networking,it helped me to connect with good old high school,my teachers,principal and college friends who I had not seen or heard from in decades.Its been a topsy turvy life for me all along.But suddenly i was filled with life meeting them though virtually.Which later on became possible in practical too.Felt those butterflies fluttering in my stomach in excitement of hearing them.Really the moment is so nostalgic & lovely to be able to know & see how gracefully we have all aged and how wonderful they all are doing!I found myself in the muddle of my long lost friends.It was as if some sort of telepathic connection that me and some of my old...

Fishing for a forbidden fruit called humanism.

In future we can see kids fishing for humanism. Last week ,on a Tuesday night as usual I sat down to check my mails, about what sort of links people are posting and the news of the day on in social networking sites as Twitter,Facebook ,Word-press & Blogger like where peoples heads are at, what the latest fuzz to follow and figure out.So we all know that word of mouth is the strongest form of marketing, whether or not you can call it marketing or just the way we interact with one another, and we see evidence of this all the time.Okay,well it’s kind of freaky and interesting sometimes.Whatever,I saw a lot of people & even Dalai Lama fussing & tweeting around about Human Values.For so hundred's of years now, Science, Technology, & Human Values has provided the forum for cutting-edge research and debate in this dynamic and important field.We owe much to the thinkers of ancient traditions, the scientific and social reformers from the Renaissance forward, and those of...
