Master your mind to become a mastermind


How is my friend so tension free? How is my next door neighbour with three young children able to manage everything with grace and poise day after day?

Why doesn't my spouse react when there is an argument? Why do I get so stressed at the end of the day? Why do I feel fatigued often?

If some of these questions have been flooding your mind of late, you simply have one common answer. Accept the bitter fact: Your mind is not in your control.

Irksome behaviour, frowning eyebrows, splitting headache, and some other common problems arise when you are NOT the master of your mind.

So, what should I do if I have to stay cool, be organised, self-disciplined and develop good personality traits? Become the master of your mind.

Keeping the mind under control makes you self-disciplined. That will automatically teach you the limits. You have the leash in your hand; your mind is in total control and you will soon realise that you can overcome temptations. Once your mind is in control, you will have self-control in all your activities. This paves the way for sound health.

To keep the mind on a leash, unleash the creativity in you. Take up a hobby and develop it regularly, even if it takes only a few minutes. Being organised helps you to plan your day ahead and soon you will find that you never arrive late at any place - be it an official meeting or a family get together.

Punctuality will set in, your body clock also falls in place. Gradually, you will wake up without an alarm, do your daily chores without a sigh, and also enjoy whatever you are doing!

Learning a new language or pursuing a fresh hobby activates your brain. With discipline and regular -practice, you master it within a short period of time.

So what are you waiting for? Master your mind first, keep the leash under your control and become a mastermind!!

You will never be a loser in life.

To be or not to be

Elders always say, "Be like him or be like her" and what not. But sometimes, they also do say the exact opposite. When asked to elaborate on this, they say "just trying to help you" and walk away. Now my question is: Do you follow the advice? Do you take the plunge? What they say is about their own experiences. They lived in a world free of competition, and studied in libraries and with enormous dictionaries.  Now-a-days, there is a lot of competition in the form of exams, quizzes, and other milestones. It is like a staircase, which seems never-ending. The steps to even reach the landing or get a glimpse of the summit is far-fetched, especially when it comes to studies. Those who make these statements are blissfully unaware of today's problems. So, do we listen to them? Or do we walk away? To be? Or not to be??? Czar of Confusion

Gifts: Pricey vs. priceless

Why do we hesitate to say 'no' to a gift? Our face lights up and we are overjoyed when someone actually hands over a gift, especially when it is least expected. Gifts have become a fashion icon these days. Not only the gift that is given, but the one that's taken back. Even children, when they are the invitees of a birthday party, are eager to get something in "return" and that's how the modern concept of return gift was born. Children seem to be enchanted by return gifts even when they get a simple pencil box or a party cap. But how far this culture is taking us and the next generation, is a pertinent question. Today being Teachers' Day, my thoughts roll back to this insignificant but impacting gesture of children in a school I worked. The day started with hoots and cheerful din which I thought were rather unnecessary, at least not from school children who are barely 15. I can understand if those in the late teens had behaved so. The children who
