Life is too short to live without any goals and ambitions

Life is filled with too many ups and downs to overthink

Decisions

Peculiarly, I got less than most of the things I aspired. But less is more.. According to some sayings....

A short poem : Dew and Snow

I am not the dew drop 

I do not fall on the green leaves 

with high surface tension between the leaves and me. 

I am snow 

I have formed over a lot of turbulence 

which many scientists have even failed to explained.

Teachings from Swami Vivekanand : Excerpts from the book- "Co write your fate with God"

• Increase will power and your fate line will improve
• Will power, determination and perseverance will cause fate line to grow and ascend further
• Having faith in oneself will end all miseries
• Tremendous will power and tremendous perseverance will help you reach the goal. Say, "I will drink ocean"
• You must have an ambition to become great 
• Adopt optimistic temperament- there is good in everything. Don't lament over imperfection of mind.
• Intellect is the most important thing to see things logically and plan our activities. So protect your intellect. Have no fear. 
• Accept constructive and positive criticism and shun bitter criticism. Don't get discouraged by negative criticism from others. Attain set goals by being positive and developing faith in ourselves. "I am thankful to all of those who said NO to me. It's because of them I'm doing it myself"- Albert Einstein. 
• God gives us whatever we want. Even mother does not serve food unless you ask for it. 
• Grief itself is the gift from God. It is the symbol of his compassion. 
• Give what you have to give. It will come back to you. Nature forces you to give.

Deep meaning words

 Harsh words with no real anger,

And a put-on angry stare:
These are the cues;
She seems hostile
but loves me true
