Breaking the Status Quo

-

I like the way things are….
It will never work…
I don’t need to do that…
I am comfortable with what I am…
I don’t want to try stuff which I am not familiar with..
This is how I usually do…
That’s how I am…

These are the phrases which we often get to hear from people (includes you and me).  These exhibit, of course, the “STATUS QUO”.

STATUS QUO refers to the existing or present scheme of things, with no signs of change or progress. It rather suggests stagnancy. Often while running the race of LIFE, we get ourselves totally lost in the day-to-day activities. We don’t halt to think or reason as to why do we do things in that fashion. That way, we lose our purposes in actions and get settled happily with this status quo.

Would anyone like to nurture a plant in his/her garden that does not grow? How about having an investment that does not grow in value? Absurd, is it not? Then why sit back and live a life of status quo and fade away from the world. So lets’ begin; let’s begin to grow spiritually, mentally, physically and professionally. Let’s break the Status Quo Lifestyle.

All one needs break this type of thinking is positive attitude and letting our minds open up.

Positive attitude is essential because that is what which helps us venture out and try new stuffs. Start imagining all positive things which we would not have imagined of happening to us so far. Visualize positive results all along the journey of new ventures.
These thought processes will change how one sees himself/herself and the world around us. That way, a positive aura gets built around us, which will keep us going and accomplish new tasks and conquer new areas.

Secondly, let our minds open up – open up to new opportunities and challenges. This will foster new thought processes, new ideas and innovations. These will, in turn, force one to use his/her skills and talents to the maximum or even more. Also, in the process, one will be enflamed to do more and more, better and better.

Remember a flowing stream of water is always cleaner than a stagnant pond. Same way, we, human beings, are always better when we keep growing – growing in thoughts, words and deeds.

The story of how EGO kills LOVE

-
Once upon a time, there was an island called the "Feelings Island". It homed all types of feelings such as Happiness, Sadness, Love, Hatred, Ego, Care, Jealousy, Panic, etc. While they lived together and had a great time, each feeling played its own rule in an indefatigably glib manner, never drifting from their nature. It was just another pleasant morning of sunrise, in this island. 'Jealousy' was the first one to rise, as it always wanted to be the first, it did not like others waking up before it. 'Care' was taking care of everybody else. 'Love' was loving everybody, spreading smiles and happiness. 'Hatred' was hating everybody and everything for one or the other reason. 'Ego' was sitting in one corner not mingling with anyone, as it felt that it was better than everybody else and no one was good enough for it to be friends with. It was going normal until 'Panic' alarmed everyone on the oncoming "Tsunami" Lo...

Head Ache - Boredom - Catching up with friends - Serving guests - A refreshing start for the day -  Late night studies for exams - Starting a conversation - Just a matter of habit - Feeling chill on rainy days - Well! There’s a coffee for every reason! The brown caffeinated drink has become a necessity in life for many. And for some, it is a matter of boasting to have an expensive cup of the bitter drink at CCD. Some like it hot, some like it cold and some like it not. Some believe the more expensive – the more tasty coffee. Some seem to be on the ever growing quest for that “perfect” cup of coffee. Some aren’t too much concerned about the tags attached, just the name “coffee” would do for them. Some Coffee facts:       Coffee originated in Ethiopia when the shepherds noticed their sheep frisk and dance after eating the coffee beans       Coffee is actually the seed of the fruit called coffee bean, dried-roasted-...

Book Review: LOVE STORY by Erich Segal

-
“Short and cute” is what I would say about the book, if I were to put it in a single phrase. There are books which feed your mind. Also, there are books which touch your heart. “Love Story” is among the latter ones. It is a nice short love story well written by Erich Segal; A very short book indeed. It moves with humor and ends giving the reader tears in his/her eyes. The story is about two young students – Oliver Barret IV and Jenny Cavilleri. They stand like Arctic and Antarctic Poles – I mean they come from such contrasting backgrounds. Oliver from the royal Barret family from whom his father has expectations to live upto the standards of the Barret family. But Oliver seems not to like his dad and his ways. He refuses to take his help and believes his father has no emotions. Whereas Jenny comes from a mediocre family but is extremely close and attached to her father. As opposites attract, these two people fall in love, after some initial bullying of Oliver by Jenny. They plan to...
