Tomorrow is another day__Rupali Nayar

It was a cold evening and the young man hurried along clutching his coat tightly around him. He had to get hime on time. He had promised to take his children out for the movie and he wanted to be in time to take a quick bath before they set off. Too bad that his car had broken down.

***

His wife constantly told him that his children never saw enough of him and today the young man was in some way trying to make up for all the time he spent at work. But what could he do? He was the sole bread - earner in the family and that meant working twice as hard. Sometimes when he came home he was so exhausted that all he wanted was to crawl into bed without even talking to anyone, leave alone having dinner. He was lucky, he thought, to have a wife like Rita. She never complained about his late hourse and she looked after the home and the children very well.

***

She had once been a famous dancer but had met with an accident that had seen her permanently in a wheel chair. Yet, she took her fate in her stide and never said a word about her life before her accident. Yes, the young man thought, he was lucky to have her and their beautiful kids. Their home was lovely too, thought the man as he walked one more rapidly. By now the wind was howling around him and the first drops of rain had begun to fall. Almost running, the man thought of the disappointment on his children's faces if he did not make it back on time. He looked at his watch. He had all of 10 minutes to get back home. By now the rain was almost blinding him. He was soaked to the skin, but his efforts at getting home doubled. Running across the road he narrowly missed being hit by a car. But this did not deter the man. Now he could see the lights of his home and when he opened the gate he found that he was completely out of breath. Pausing for a while he looked at his watch. It had stopped! It still showed that he had 10 minutes to get back home if he wanted to make it to the movies.

***

As it happened he was late. His wife had been waiting and so had the children. Trey hurled themselves into his arms and he began to tell them about his difficulty in reaching the house, of his near accident and of the rain.

***

Then he asked his wife what the time was. And when she told him, he was stunned. It had taken him more than two hourse to get back! He turned to his wfie and apologised. He should have started out earlier. But his wife looked at him and then at herself on the wheelchair. "I Was so worried about you. I couldn't have managed the house if anything had happened to you," she said. "We can always go for the movies, after all tomorrow is another day."

The Great Sphinx

Centuries of history lie at the feet of the Great Sphinx at Giza. And along with the passage of time many myths and legends have come to be associated with this magnificent statue that has a man's head and a lion's body. Standing some 66 feet high and 240 feet long, the Sphink's head measures 19 feet from forehead to chin and each paw extends 56 feet forward from the body.

***** The sheer size of the Sphinx and its impressive form made many believe that it had been placed in its position as guardian of the pyramids by the gods themselves. A powerful symbol in ancient Egypt, the lion represented strength and courage. It was also thought to be supreme guardian of the kings as it sometimes accompanied them into battle - its sheer physical presence and form was symbolic of protecting the troops. The Sphinx therefore was a combination of two symbols: a lion god and a human god (the king of pharaoh) rolled into one statue. Some say that the Great Sphinx at Giza bears the face of the ruling pharaoh at the time of construction: Chephren.

*****But the Sphinx isn't limited to Egypt, it was also found in ancient Phoenician, Syrian and Greek societies. In Greek mythology, the Sphinx was a monster with the head and breasts of a woman, the body of a lion and the wings of a bird. Greek legend has it that the Sphinx ate all the travellers who tried to enter the city Thebans unless they were able to answer the riddle it put before them - "What is the creature that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three in the evening?"

*****Most travellers couldn't answer the riddle and were quickly devoured until a man called oedipus solved the ridde - "The four limbs as a baby, walks upright on two as an adult, and walks with the aid of stick in the old age."

*****Hearing the correct answer, the Sphinx is said to have killed himself. Once this happened, the Thebans made oedipus their king.

Improve your English Language___1

General Rules:--

While writing try and guard against the tendency of using euphemisms. A euphemism is a word or phrase that is substituted for language that the writer feels may be either offensive or too blunt.

***

Example:- She died in her sleep - She passes away in her sleep or She met her maker in her sleep etc.,

***

Example:- During the war, there were bombing raids all across the country - During the war, there were surgical air-strikes all across the country.

***

Example:- The US army went into XYZ to control the riots, loot and arson in the capital - The US peace-keeping force went into XYZ to control the riots, loot and arson in the capital.

***

Your writing should tell the truth and not couch it in euphemisms. Here are some other things to keep in mind. Many of us make a mistake when we use the words affect and effect. "Affect" is usually a veryb, which means "to influence"

***

Example: Please let me know if my grammar is going to affect marks in English.

"Effect" is usually a noun, which means "result"

***

Example: This is a new rule that goes into effect tomorrow.__

Another thing to keep in mind is that the word 'data' is plural. The singular is 'datum'.__

Always distinguish between the words that and which. The rule of thumb here is - use which (always followed by a comma when introducing non-essential information) and use that (never folloer by a comma when introducing essential information).

***

Try and avoid using colloquial expressions like hook up, burn out, write up etc. Instead use connect, damage/destroy, report/essay/document.

***

What SHRI RAMAKRISHNA say___

To be able to realise God, one must practise absolute continence. Sages like Shukadeva are examples of an Urdhvareta. Their chastity was absolutely unbroken. There is another class, who previously have had discharges of semen, but who later on have controlled them. A man controlling the seminal fluid for twelve years develops a special power. He grows a new inner nerve called the nerve of memory. Through this nerve he remembers all he understands all.

***

Loss of semen impairs strength. But it does not injure one if one loses it in a dream. That semen one gets from food. What remains after nocturnal discharge is enough. But one must not know a woman.

***

The semen that remains after nocturnal discharge is very "refined'. The Lahas kept jars of molasses in their house. Every jar had a hole in it. After a year they found that the molasses had crystallised like sugar candy. The unnecessary watery part had leaked out through the hole.

***

Does it mean that in order to practise Brahmacharya one should remain a bachelor throughout life?__Swami Vivekananda

If one can remain a bachelor in order to achieve high ideals and has enough strength, one can certainly do so. But for students practice of Brahmacharya is an essential discipline. Even married people can practise Brahmacharya. There are different rules for them.

If everyone practises Brahmacharya, How will the creation go on?__Swami Vivekananda

Since we have not created this world, why should we bother about it? It is God who has created it and therefore he will certainly take care of it. Moreover, in the Bhagvad Gita, Lord himself has declared lust and anger as most sinful and enemy of man here. People are born with different mentalities and tendencies. A person whose mind is full of inertia (tamas) is little better than an animal. His animal passions will not allow him even to think of the ideal of Brahmacharya.

What are the benefits of practising Brahmacharya?__Swami Vivekananda

It improves the power of concentration and memory. Vedic knowledge has come down to us only through the memory. Because of strict practise of Brahmacharya students of those days were able to retain the entire Vedas in their memory. Sexual energy when converted into Ojas, strengthens the brain and the nervous system. It helps to deelop mental strength to face challenges in life and sharpens the intellectual faculty. It helps to control the negative emotions such as anger, hatred, jealousy, fear, etc., opens up the reflective and creative faculties of the practitioner and enable him to manifest great talents, creativity and originality. Practice of Brahmacharya also helps us to improve physical health, increases resistance and immunity which keeps a person away from all types of diseases. Most of the psychological problems are caused by animal passion. Brooding over lustful thoughts leads to mental problems, which can be easily avoided by the practise of Brahmacharya. Finally, Brahmacharya leads to spiritual awakening and development of divine qualities such as love, compassion, devotion, gentleness, courage, confidence, fearlessness, forbearance, contentment, tranquility of the mind, etc.

SHRADDHA OR SELF-CONFIDENCE__Swami Vivekananda

Those you who have studied that most beautiful of all the Upanishads, the Katha, will remember how the king was going to make a great sacrifice and instead of giving away things that were of any worth, he was giving away cows and horses that were not of any use, and the book says that at that time Shraddha entered into the heart of his son, Nachiketa. I would not translate this word Shraddha to you, it would be a mistake; it is a wonderful word to understand, and much depends on it; I am inferior to a few, but nowhere am i the last, I can also do something.: And this boldness increased, and the boy wanted to solve the problem which was in his mind, the problem of death. The solution could only be got by going to the house of Death, and the boy went. There he was, brave Nachiketa, waiting at the house of Death for three days, and you know how he obtained what he desired. What we want is this Shraddha, Unfortunately, it has nearly vanished from India, and this is why we are in our present state. What makes the difference between one man and another is the difference in this Shraddha and nothing else. What makes one man great and another weak and low is this Shraddha. My Master used to say, "He who thinks himself weak will become weak" and that is true. This Shraddha must enter into you. Whatever material power you see manifested by the Western races is the outcome of this Shraddha, because they believe in their muscles and if you believe in your spirit, how much more will it work! Believe in that infinite soul, the infinite power, which, with consensus of opinion, your books and sages preach. That Atman which nothing can destroy, in It is infinite power only waiting to be called out. For here is the great difference between all other philosophies and the Indian philosophy. Whether dualistic, qualified monistic, or monistic, they all firmly believe that everything is in the soul itself; it has only to come out and manifest itself. Therefore, this Shraddha is what I want, and what all of us here want, this faith in ourselves. Give up the awful disease that is creeping into our national blood, that idea of ridiculing everything, that loss of seriousness. Give that up. Be strong and have this Shraddha, and everything else is bound to follow.

The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us. If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practised, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished. Throughout the history of mankind, if any motive power has been more potent than another in the lives of all great men and women, it is that of faith in themselves. Born with the consciousness that they were to be great, they became great. Let a man go down as low as possible; there must come a time when out of sheer desperation he will take an upward curve and will learn to have faith in himself. But it is better for us that we should know it from the very first. Why should we have all these bitter experiences in order to gain faith in ourselves? We can see that all the difference between man and man is owing to the existence or non-existence of faith in himself. Faith in ourselves will do everything. I have experienced it in my own life, and am still doing so; and as I grow older that faith is becoming stronger and stronger. He is an atheist who does not believe in himself. The old religion says that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is an atheist who does not believe in himself. But it is not selfish faith, because the Vedanta, again, is the doctrine of oneness. It means faith in all, because you are all. Love for yourselves means love for all, love for animals, love for everything, for you are all one. It is the great faith which will make the world better. I am sure that. He is the highest man who can say with truth, " I know all about myself." Do you know how much energy, how many powers, how many forces are still lurking behind that frame of yours? What scientist has known all that is in man? Millions of years have passed since man first came here, and yet but one infinitesimal part of his powers has been manifested. Therefore, you must not say that you are weak. How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness.

Faith, Faith, Faith in ourselves, faith, faith in God__ this is the secret of greatness. If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological gods, and in all the gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have not faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you. Have faith in yourselves, and stand up on that faith and be strong; that is what we need. Why is it that we three hundred and thirty millions of people have been ruled for the last one thousand years by any and every handful of foreigners who chose to walk over our prostrate bodies? Because they had faith in themselves and we had not.

An English boy will tell you, " I am an Englishman, and I can do anything." An American boy will tell you the same thing, and so will any European boy. Can our boys say the same thing here? No, nor even the boys' fathers. We have lost faith in ourselves. Therefore to preach the Advaita aspect of the Vedanta is necessary to rouse up the hearts of men, to show them the glory of their souls.

Have faith in man, whether he appears to you to be a very learned one or the most ignorant one. Have faith in man, whether he appears to be an angel or the very devil himself. Have faith in man first, and then having faith in man, believe that if there are defects in him, if he makes mistakes, if he embraces the crudest and the vilest doctrines, believe that it is not from his real nature that they come, but from the want of higher ideals. You give him the truth, and there your work is done. Let him compare it in his own mind with what he has already in him; and, mark my words, if you have really given him the truth, the false must vanish, light must dispel darkness, and truth will bring the good out. Put the good before them, see how eagerly they take it, see how the divine that never dies, that is always living in the human, comes up awakened and stretches out its hand for all that is good, and all that is glorious.

"The earth is enjoyed by heroes - this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, 'I have no fear'. Tell this to everybody - 'Have no fear'. Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in this world have proceeded from the evil spirit of fear."___Swami Vivekananda......

Secrets of Success

In all probability, you already know quite well that your success is dependent on your ability to sell yourself and your ideas to others. What your ideas to others. What you are most interested in is how to do it, how to accomplish this magic, how exactly to motivate and influence other human beings? To know the answer to this question, stop for a moment and ask yourself what makes you listen to some particular individual and accept his propositions? Why do you allow yourself to be influenced by one person and not by the other? Why do you ready this article and what makes you to spend your time reading these lines and not a sexy thriller? You must dispassionately and objectively think and analyse the facts and determine the true reasons. In the ultimate analysis, you will find that this article is serving your interests, it is meeting your wants, it talks about your requirements, it is concerned about your leadership, success and happiness. Anything that concerns you, vitally affects you, appears to benefit you and contributes to your happiness.

You are only too willing to be interested in what applies to you and what applies to all other normal human beings. All of us are basically interested in ourselves. All of us have several needs or wants. We are eager and keen to satisfy our wants or needs. We eagerly listen to and do the things which, we are sincerely convinced, will help us in realising our needs and happiness. There fore, when all you want in the world is the satisfaction and fulfilment of your wants and needs, you have first to think in terms of the other person's interests, wants, needs, desires, aspirations, ambitions, feelings, emotions, beliefs, faiths, opinions, views, psycho-personality characteristics and so on. It may appear contradictory and confusing on the face of it. If you want your wants to be met and goals to be achieved, why you waste your time thinking about other people, their interests, wants and goals? The answer is simple. You depend on others for your leadership and success. you have to motivate them and get their active, willing and eager co-operations. Hence, you have to think in terms of their wants and needs first. The correct understanding of this basic principle is the first step in motivating and influence people.

"To succeed do the best you can, where you are, with what you have."

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great American statesman and his son were once trying to force a calf to leave the barn. But the calf was not interested in moving and that was that. The father shouted and the son yelled, there was quite a bit of commotion, but the calf did not even budge an inch. Just then their maidservant, attracted by the noises, arrived on the scene and saw that was happening. She put her thumb in the calf/s mouth and sucking her thumb it followed her out of the barn willingly and happily. It appeared the calf would have followed her to the end of the earth in that fashion. This incident narrated by Emerson in his writings proves the important principle of psychology for influencing and motivating others. You can make others do what if you stop to reflect and first understand what their needs are.

The right way to get people do things the way you want is not to compel them, drive them, push them or pull them, or for that matter even beg them or entreat them. It is the most difficult thing in the world to make an individual do anything against his will. The correct way is, therefore, to arouse a want in them and make them do, whether you want them to do willingly, happily and eagerly.

Ever Present Human Need

Every Human being, whether rich or poor, high or low, literate or illiterate, leader or follower, is always and ever hungry and thirsty for one thing. That is the need to feel important. He wants someone to show interest in him and in what he does. He craves to be recognised and appreciated genuinely and sincerely. He wants affection, warmth and friendship. He longs for appreciation and understanding. He likes to be heard. He favourably reacts at once when someone displays a keen, sincere and genuine interest in him. This is a standing, continuing, insatiable, perennial or ever present hunger on the part of all human beings. It is not a seasonal demand. Forever and always, from birth to death, all through the day and the year, people crave for importance, recognition, appreciation and love. There are no exceptions to this natural inborn human hunger and you and I share this nagging hunger. To become a successful leader, you must master the art of catering to the perennial hunger in the most effective way. You must satisfy this hunger and thirst fully to attain success and happiness by becoming a leader and gain your objectives. You must then start by taking genuine interest in other human beings. Learn to harmonise your needs with the wishes and wants of the other people. Think and talk of the other individuals's interests. You will then certainly go places. You will win. You will lead in a very big way. You will be crowned with success, glory and happiness.
