Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for.

Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently,

speaks positively, release easily,

sees benefit in everything and envisions

a future of abundance….

knowing that all needs will be met

at the right moment, in the right way.

If you think life is a struggle you will always

be struggling, if you think life is a breeze,

your attitudes and actions will convey lightness

and easiness. And that’s what attracts

everything you need, and much more.

Make today a breeze not a battle.

Faith can move mountains

WE can let our live be directed by

the same force that makes flowers grow.

To TRUST in the force that moves

the universe is FAITH.

Faith isn’t blind, it’s visionary.

Faith is believing that the universe is on our side,

and the universe knows what it’s doing.

Faith is a psychological awareness

of an unfolding force for good constantly at work

in all dimensions; that you do not have to struggle

for the blessings God has planned for you.

All gifts from God come through faith.

The Effect of Overpopulation on the Environment

Climate change and global pollution cannot be adequately tackled without addressing the issue of the world booming population. By the middle of the century, the world population is likely to increase to more than nine billions. The extra resources needed to sustain this growth in population would put immense pressure on the planets life support system even if pollution emissions per head could be dramatically reduced.

The explosive growth in the human population and concomitant effects on the environment has been largely ignored by many of those concerned with climate change. The growth of the world population needs to be reduced if climate change is to be prevented. We urgently need to stabilise and reduce human numbers. There is no way that the growing population can meet its energy needs without unacceptable damage to the planet and a great deal of human misery.

Overpopulation is likely to distort the future of human society. More children do not mean more workers. In fact, it means more people without work. Unless we reduce the population humanely through family planning, nature will do it for us through violence, epidemics and starvation. Population control needs to be given top most priority if we want a safe, healthy, pure and happy environment to breathe in.

Save the Planet Earth

It was in the lap of nature that life developed so nature and human life are connected in more than one way. But as soon as humans evolved faster than the other forms of life, they declared their supremacy on the earth. Today, the earth’s resources are being stressed by human activities, resulting in huge environmental problems. Issues, such as depletion of the ozone layer, green house warming, habitat destruction, water and air pollution and the plight of endangered species are a few of these problems.

Many adults and children who are concerned about the future of the planet seem to despair. The motto “think globally, act locally” gives educators a model for teaching students how each person can help to slow down the degradation of the earth. Afforestation is one of the ways to mend the damage already created. By saving our forests and planting more trees we can solve the problem of pollution. Teachers can help students get involved with recycling at school and students can help their parents start recycling at home. This would save energy and we will have less air pollution. This will also help us in finding a solution for global warming. We need to spread awareness about water harvesting as well. The need of the hour is to conserve the earth’s resources in all possible ways for the future generations.

Joys of Playing Outdoor Games

Needless to say, computers have become a constant rage with adults and children alike. The computer, undoubtedly, plays a significant role in our day to day life. Of late, children have become almost addicted to this fascinating machine of new age. The uses of computer have gone beyond its official and functional aims. Whatever time urban children get off their busy lives, their most favourite source of entertainment is computer and video games. As a result, they tend to ignore outdoor games with disastrous effects, obviously. In small town, children are still playing hide-n-seek or flying kites but in most of the so called advanced city set-up, children playing out in street, parks have become a rare sight. Children, today don’t know what they are missing in life by not playing outdoor games.

There were times when children would go out even in the heat of the afternoon to play and they would not like to return home till late in the evening. Those children were obviously happier and healthier. Outdoor games are very good means to physical exercise which keeps one healthy and active, agile and alert. There is no scope of loneliness and tension in this joyful group activity. After the day’s tiring mental work, an hour or two spent in playing takes off fatigue and refreshes us all over again. Sports also teach us to cultivate in us positive values like sportsman spirit, team-work and cooperation which eventually help us in dealing with odds of life.

Similarly, exchange of ideas and thoughts among the playmates broadens their outlook. Outdoor games are often group activities and they bring about an increase in the number of one’s friends which widens one’s social circle. Isn’t playing outdoors more joyful and enriching in many ways than sitting all alone and playing some dead games on computers.

Never break a promise

Abraham Lincoln was once travelling by a stage coach with a colonel. After a few miles, the colonel offered Lincoln a drink. Lincoln politely refused. They rode on. The colonel then offered him some cigars. Lincoln replied, “Colonel you are a fine man to travel with, maybe I ought to take a smoke with you. But before that let me tell you a story- My mother was very sick when I was about nine years old. She called me and took a promise from me never to have tobacco or alcohol as long as I lived. I promised her that I never would and I have kept that promise. Now would you advise me to break it?” The colonel put his hand gently on Mr Lincoln’s shoulder and said, “No Lincoln I wouldn’t have you do it for the entire world. I would give a thousand dollars today if I had made my mother a promise like that and had kept it, as you have done.”

This can be the best definition of integrity.

Social media can wait!

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram are all part of ‘social media’ which is a group of Internet based applications that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content. With everyone having smart phones, access to social media has become very easy. Ten years ago there was no social media and still people were more social and active. They used to meet face to face, not on Facebook. There was a feeling of togetherness and intimacy in relationships. People would write letters to friends and relatives. Today, we only get ‘up-dates’. We only ‘like’ or ‘comment’ on someone’s post in FB and think we have done a great job. Social media is actually making us unsocial. No personal interactions, handshakes, discussions or dialogues. We need to use social media to keep up with the times. But the fact remains that we can also live without it.
