Tokyo Olympics, two sportsmen makes us realise true meaning of joy:

 The scene is the final of men's high jump at the Tokyo Olympics.  Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi was facing Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim in the final.  Both of them jumped 2.37 meters and were on par !  Olympic officials gave three more attempts to each of them, but they were unable to reach more than 2.37 meters. One more attempt was given to two both of them, but Tampberi withdrew from the last attempt due to a serious leg injury.  The moment when there was no other opponent in front of Barshim, the moment when he could have easily approached the gold alone ! But Barshim asked the official "if the gold can be shared between the two of us if I withdraw from the final attempt ?"  The official checks and confirms and says "yes then the gold will be shared between the two of you".  Barshim then had nothing to think about, announces withdrawal from the last attempt. Seeing this, the Italian opponent Tamberi ran and hugged Barshim and screamed !  What we sa...

*Dealing With Short Tempered People!*:

- Ibn al-Jawzī said: “When your companion becomes angry and says something that is unwarranted, you should not take it too hard. His situation is that of a drunken person who is not aware of what is taking place. Instead, be patient, even if it means only for a little while. If you reciprocate his words with harsh words of your own, you become like the sane person who seeks revenge on a madman, or the conscious person who seeks retribution from an unconscious one. Look at him with a merciful eye and pity him for his actions.” ‎● [سيد الخاطر صحفة ٤٠٦] Source: received through whatsapp message

*Imp* Teenagers and underlying challenges of current generation:

-  Teens naturally experience stronger urges and have less ability to delay gratification compared to adults. A teenager is someone who is between 13 and 19 years old. There is a continuous socioemotional development happening among teenagers. Puberty brings a surge of hormones that can lead to intense emotions and risky behavior. Teenagers are also grappling with social pressures, identity formation, and desires for independence, which can lead to impulsive choices. Some teenagers experience strong feelings and attraction towards the opposite gender. Unfortunately, this can lead to unhealthy or harmful relationships. Some young people may misinterpret exploitation as love, resulting in painful experiences. These experiences can have long-lasting emotional consequences, including feelings of guilt and depression. Compared to adults teenagers have lesser self control, they might get into unnecessary and undesirable commitment with opposite gender. Thus parents and guardians should m...

The concept of unique adaptability in elephants:

 - Baby elephants can walk very shortly after birth. They are typically able to stand within 20 minutes and walk within an hour of being born. This is a survival mechanism, as it allows them to keep up with the herd, which is crucial for finding food and water and staying safe from predators.  Here's a more detailed look: Standing: A newborn elephant calf can usually stand on its own within 20 minutes after birth.  Walking: Within an hour, the calf will be able to walk, though it may be wobbly at first.  Keeping Pace: After just a couple of days, the calf will be strong enough to keep up with the herd as they move and migrate.  Survival Advantage: This ability to quickly walk is a crucial adaptation for survival in the wild.  Tending to the Calf: The mother and other females in the herd will help the calf stand and nurse, guiding it and providing support until it can walk independently.  Source: Gemini AI search

Success does not happen by accident. It is forged in the furnace of undistracted dedication:

-  *It Is Only Laser Focus on One Project to the Exclusion of All Else That Permits the Breakthrough and Ensures Success* - Success does not happen by accident. It is forged in the furnace of undistracted dedication. In a world that constantly demands our attention from every direction, only those who can silence the noise and channel their energy into one single, focused effort will ever reach the threshold of greatness. The human mind, though vast in potential, is inherently limited in its ability to divide attention meaningfully across multiple domains. We deceive ourselves when we say we can multitask, when in reality we only switch between tasks, each switch draining us of energy, clarity, and momentum. It is only laser focus—unwavering, undiluted, and uninterrupted—on a single project, to the exclusion of all else, that paves the path to profound breakthroughs. The Myth of Multitasking Many glorify the multitasker—the one who juggles five projects, ten meetings, and a hundred...

The Ripple Effect of Positive Communication and Good Behavior 🗣️:

 - In today's fast-paced world, the rise of aggressive behavior in schools, families, organizations, and corporations is a growing concern. This trend poses a significant threat to our collective well-being and productivity. It's time for us to recognize that good behavior and positive communication aren't just polite gestures; they are essential for creating thriving communities and a better society. The Foundation of Strong Organizations 💪 For any organization, a healthy internal environment is crucial for success. Aggressive behavior, whether it's verbal insults, passive-aggressiveness, or bullying, erodes trust, stifles creativity, and leads to high turnover rates. It creates a toxic atmosphere where people are afraid to speak up or share ideas. Conversely, an organization that prioritizes good behavior and positive communication benefits immensely. When we feel respected and valued as a team, we are more likely to be engaged and motivated. This leads to:  * Improv...

Wake up! Wake up !! Stand up and march as a torchbearer:

 Wake up! Wake up !! To make up yourself  And others to be awesome; To grow handsome and wholesome!! Stand up and march as a torchbearer To protect the lovely Nature,  And to preserve the water  For us and the generations of the future!!   It is not the time to sleep  Unreasonably for so long! Do you have a hang over? For what, whence and how long? Sun rose above the sky  Babies stopped their cry  Don’t ask and plead, why? Get up, dress up, startup, don’t be shy!! Since you have been sleeping ... Traffic jams have become rampant   Garbage ornated the roads of passerby ; Hearths are off, Foods from inn - nearby !! Books are dusted, waiting for one  Sold like hot cake on “Second to none”;  Kindles were bright surely on day one  Reading as a habit gradually gone !! Life givers are now on life supports  In the buildings called Old Age Home;  Sacrifices in vain, parents are in pain   Helpless or hapless...
