Three important things to achieve your goals in life   Three things  important to acheive your aim are  : * Desire Desire is the greatest motivator in human life . When you really want to do something ,half the battle is over .  Put your desire in terms of money , love ,ego food and health . Many people have got brains and highly developed scientific or artistic or administrative ability, but they lack drive or a sense of direction . * Ability Next step is to develop the required ability. Check your abilities to be sure that your desires are acheivable and realistic. But , don't confuse ability with training . An accountant may be good in counceling .An Engineer may find painting interesting . In same field or same  office , different individual pay possess different types of ability like creative ,administrative or executive . Some may enjoy their job being a line worker. "Tempo " is another important  point to check in considering your ability...

How to get what you want out of life * You are not going to do anything  until you begin to think about it. *  Desire is the greatest motivator in human life . * Specify your desires . * Identify and develop the required ability to fulfill your desires. * Don't forget to improve your human relationships . This lockdown taught me a lot. One thing for sure , I should spend an interesting share of my time doing the things I like to do ,the things I can do and things that bring me into contact with people I can get along with . NOW IT"S YOUR TURN . Don't postpone your first step towards doing what you want to do . The inefficient use of time , fear of loosing money and wait for universal approval from others will distort every worthwhile desire in your heart. When you  will get on your horse and get into action ,common excuses like time and money will disappear in thin air. BEGIN TO BUILD YOUR FUTURE TODAY.

MY FRIEND LAKSHMI  Minister Narendra Modi    urged people across India to switch off their lights and hold candles , lamps and mobile flashlights at 9 pm on Sunday, April 5, for 9 minutes in a nationwide show of solidarity, to fight the darkness of coronavirus. As the clock struck 9 pm, lights went out in most houses and we gathered in our respective balconies, flashing mobile lights while a few of them lit candles and diyas  .On the second floor of c-Block,I could see a face much brighter than the diya in her hands .

Four important things everyone wants  No two persons are alike , nor the conditions in which they live . As an individual , you must arrive to your personal defination of what you want .The more specific you are about what you want out of life ,the more likely you are to get it . Four main things every one wants are : (1) Money : Most people tell you that they want money .But a very few can tell you about how much money they want to make right now and in future . If you don't know specifically' how much' you want , you will get into trouble in two ways -either you may not get enough money or you  may loose sight of other more important things in a race for money . (2) Love : A true love enriches your life . It may be your spouse , family or passion .But, sometimes we lose that love , in preoccupied pursuits of other desires . Marriages easily go on rocks because the husband spends too little time with wife ,or because the wife gets too involved in activit...
