PayBack

We can Pay Debt but not favor, Parents shower all the happiness to child but when there there is payback time it not always same, had it been the same then there would have been no old age homes around, human nature can sometime turn into worst in the name of worldly success and Money ,Read on....

A child is born who is taught how to take his very first step,offering best luxury from pampering with mild Baby Johnson soaps to Leo Toys, birthdays celebrated with best of gifts,rising early to get him ready for school with nicely polished shoes and uniform well ironed done by parents,offering best of stuff from camlin pencils to omega geometry box and nicely covered notebooks with brown sheet,vacation is taken to make his holidays fun, sitting in scorching heat to wait for his school bus,every pain and joy is shared and this goes on now comes college and debt is taken is get him ready for big world and finally there is takeoff and he is ready to take on the world now he is professional with dozen of Fortune company offers and he is the next whiz kid on the block but now pace of things slowly change;peer pressure and success become his best mates,he play games to hide his true self and getting up on social yardstick become his obsession, he believes in Good social skills and now going home seems boring, he complains about everything from old tap to neighbourhood, he is irritated at weakness of his parents and going abroad seems coolest things to do and make a life, money grip his inner voice and peer pressure turn him deaf and blind and alas there is no point of return all in the name of success.

Years pass by and he had left his parents cold and helpless.Old parent is now as fragile as child he was in his tender years, his weak bones make his daily chores difficult, it takes him efforts to climb the stairs, his eyesight is weak,it takes him hours now to search his glasses or find his watch, his memory is not as sharp as it was while doing homework for his child,he takes time to recall faces or hear sharply, he takes time to walk down the market and find difficult to carry load around, the wrinkles on his face has many story to tell, his birthdays are cold and depressing with no one around nor any Bday Gifts, he offer cold look at the door,he wipes old bicycle of his child with his old fragile hands and keep his toys as most treasured possessions, no one is there to share his experience or listen to his story or wipe his tears in pain, the winter cold add to his gloom and sadness, he wishes for warmth and emotional anchor and sit quietly in one corner of room with bad wheather outside.
In the park where he used to spend hours playing with his kid is now sitting all alone besides that old giving tree who had similar story to share and simply leaves the world with heavy sigh, should this be the payback?

Looking Back

Living in the present and in the moment is what every self help book from A to Z advocates and that is wisest move too but Looking back for good moments is not a bad idea either and just think where did I enjoyed most? School Bus or Cab, tea in canteen or tiffin box, uniform or clothes, daily fun or weekend, School playground or lawn, candy or coffee, rain or cozy room, Soccer or Walk, Air Gun or laptop, Walkman or Mp3,Freedom or Bounded? nevertheless of less luxury old days were simple and happy, no rat race to follow nor to climb any social yardstick neither there was any conscious effort to stay in present or trying to move the River of time. Although life cannot be returned backwards nor there is any time machine that can retrace us back but there are some valuable lessons forever left on sand of time and that provide valuable answers and solutions to present day problems and after all life was meant to be happy not routine after all

Money Does Not Give Kick!!

Without rich heart, millionaire is an ugly beggar so true,there are many wealthy people I have seen who struggle for peace with themselves and it is no surprise to see high profile cooperate people in meditation or laughing program! if we have equated money with happiness why is there so much suffering and why there is so much emptiness inside although the are making well enough well the answer lies in fable of Midas tough, the story of king who touched everything turned into gold.
making money is important but deriving happiness from it is not wisest move, money always does not give kick and when money talks it does not always talk sense, we cannot buy happiness on weekends nor it should be our motive coz we cannot fight nature,The goal of work should be achievement or fulling some meaningful purpose as an example greatest sportsmen in world play out of their passion not for money alone no doubt money will be by-product but it will not serve as catalyst to their performance

Savoring simple stuff is essential to peace and well beign, achieving balance in social ,physical mental and spiritual dimensions is very important than to get obsessed with making more, it is like running race with no idea of finishing line..someone has very well said, "if I am what I have then who I am if I dont have what I have", everything needs well balanced approach just like well balanced diet, stop the rat race and smell the roses.

Breaking Comfort Zone!

"If we don't change we become extinct"---From best selling book "Who moved my Cheese "

Doing the same kind of work in same way,thinking same kind of thoughts, meeting same kind of people day in day out and listening to same kind of music can result in boredom and life can turn into big rut, well Inertia sets in as per as basic laws of physics.Change is necessary element to flow creativity in life, Try something weird and be Cool Dude, Do things you fear to attempt or that does not fit with your day to day personality, if we are listening to folk music from years let us switch to Rock or Jazz, just an example. Little bit of surprise and unpredictability is must although living in comfort zone is safe there are absolutely no risk and it is same as small kid falling asleep in mother's lap but at the same time there is no growth:).It is fear that holds us back, but stepping out of comfort zone is necessary element for growth and progress athough there are risk involved, it can result in failure and disappointment but Smart people know to take calculated risk, move with the cheese and succeed, Edison Quoted "I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to not make a light bulb."Let us face Risk Zone or become Extinct!!.
