The only bird that dares to peck an eagle is the raven. It sits on the eagle's back and bites its neck. However, the eagle doesn't respond or fight with the raven. It does not spend time or energy with the raven. It just opens its wings and begins to fly higher in the sky. The higher the flight, the harder it is for the raven to breathe and the raven eventually falls due to lack of oxygen.   Not all battles you need to respond to. Not all arguments or critics you need to respond to or answer back. Just lift up a standard, they'll fall off! Stop wasting time with the 'ravens'. Just take them to your height and they'll fade away. The enemy may sit on your back and bite your neck... But remember, "the race is not for the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor the bread to the wise, nor riches to men of skill, but time and chances happen to them all."

- Amazing answer by Mr Awadhesh Singh, an ex student of IT-BHU (now IIT-BHU) When I was doing my B Tech, there was a Professor Das Talukedar who used to teach us ‘Mechanics’. His lectures used to be very interesting since he had an interesting way to teach and explain the concepts. One day, in the class, he asked the following questions, 1. What is ZERO? 2.What is INFINITY? 3. Can ZERO and INFINITY be same? We all thought that we knew the answers and we replied as following, ZERO means *nothing* INFINITY means *a number greater than any countable number* ZERO and INFINITY *are opposite and they can never be same* He countered us by first talking about infinity and asked, ‘How can there be any number which is greater than any countable number?’ We had no answers. He then explained the concept of infinity in a very interesting way, which I remember even after more than 35 years. He said that imagine that there is an illiterate shepherd who can count only upto 20. Now, if the number of sh...

 With the car parked on the road, I got on to the bus. But seeing the crowd inside, I  was scared. There was no place to sit. At that moment, a seat became vacant. The next person could have easily occupied it. Instead, he offered me that seat. Next stop. The same thing happened. Again he gave his seat to another person.  I was observing him... this happened for four times in our entire bus journey. The man looked tired, he must have been going home after his job. In the last stop, we all got off. Out of curiosity, I spoke to him.  Asked why you were giving your seat to another every time ??  The interesting answer he gave was I haven’t studied at all or have much money. I have nothing to give, neither knowledge nor money. This is the only thing which I can do for others, easily. So I do this every day. Though working for all day, ‌ I can still stand for a little longer. When I gave you the seat, you said thank you. I felt very happy. I believe I'm contributing ...

- #Science says that the amount of semen that is released once an adult healthy male has intercourse contains 400 million sperm. So, according to logic, if that amount of sperm found a place in the womb of a girl, then 400 million babies would be created! This 400 million #sperm, running like crazy towards the mother's uterus, only 300-500 sperm survive. And the rest? He dies of exhaustion or defeat on the way. These are 300-500 sperm, which have been able to reach the ovum. Only one of them, a very strong sperm, fertilizes the ovum, or takes a seat in the ovum. That lucky sperm is you or me, or all of us. Have you ever thought of this great war? 1. When you ran "there were no eyes, hands, feet, head, yet you won. 2. When you ran, you didn't have a certificate, you didn't have a brain, but you won. 3. You had no #education when you ran, no one helped but you won. 4. You had a destination when you ran and you ran with a single mind, aiming at that destination and you wo...

- Do you know the ingredients of our school WhatsApp group. The school WhatsApp group is a very special group it has kept our early life history together. Its a very special group. Below are the types of creative members in school WhatsApp group. Relentless Forwarder: who spends all day forwarding things – jokes, news articles, conspiracy theories, fake news.

 - *The Law of Wasted Effort* Do you know that lions only succeed in a quarter of their hunting attempts — which means they fail in 75% of their attempts and succeeds in only 25% of them. Despite this small percentage shared by most predators, they don't despair in their pursuit and hunting attempts.  The main reason for this is not because of hunger as some might think but it is the understanding of the “Law of Wasted Efforts” that have been instinctively built into animals, a law in which nature is governed.  Half of the eggs of fishes are eaten... half of the baby bears die before puberty... most of the world's rains fall in oceans... and most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds.  Scientists have found that animals, trees, and other forces of nature are more receptive to the law of "wasted efforts".  Only humans think that the lack of success in a few attempts is failure... but the truth is that: we only fail when we "stop trying". Success is not to ...

 - *"NOT EVERYTHING MATTERS EQUALLY"* "It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants."  ~ Henry David Thoreau.  The question is, what are we busy about? Knocking out a hundred tasks for whatever the reason is a poor substitute for doing even one task that is meaningful.  Not everything matters equally, and success is not a game won by whoever does the most. Yet that is exactly how most play it on a daily basis.  "The things which are most important does not always scream the loudest" ~ Bob Hawke Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential. They pause just long enough to decide what matters and then allow what matters to drive their day.  Achievers do Sooner what others plan to do later and defer, perhaps indefinitely, what others do Sooner. The different is not in intent, but in a right of way. Achievers always work from a sense of priority. Source: received through whatsapp

 - Chicken story: A Woman walks into a butchery shop just before closing time and asks,  "Do you still have chicken?"  The butcher opens his deep freezer, takes out his only chicken left and puts it on the weighing scale. It weighs 1.5 kg. 🐓 The woman looks at the chicken and at the scale and asked,  "Do you have one that's a bit bigger than this one ?" The butcher puts his only chicken back into the freezer, and then takes it out again.  But this time when he puts it on the scale, he craftily keeps his thumb on the scale pan. And the scale now shows 2 kg.  "That's wonderful," said the woman.  "I'll take both of them, please!" In a situation like this, you realize at once that your integrity and reputation are firmly on the line.  Your wisdom becomes foolishness, and your cunningness becomes stupidity. Until now the butcher has his head inside the big deep freezer, looking for the first chicken. 😄 *Remember:*  1. Always tell the tru...

 Once a monkey wished to die due to sadness, he pulled the ears of a sleeping lion....  The lion woke up and roared with anger: - Who did this ?  Who has invited his death ?  Monkey :- I did, Maharaj, I am very depressed due to lack of friends and I want to die, why don't you kill and eat me ??   The lion asked with a laugh :- Did anyone see you while pulling my ears ?  Monkey :- No, Chief !   Lion :- Okay, pull one or two more times, it feels very good 😀 The essence of this story...  By living alone, even the King of the forest gets bored….  So stay in touch with your friends, keep pulling their ears, dragging, blabbering... 😄  Don't be dull, keep on having fun....  Believe that your mind will always be cheerful and you will always be healthy…. 👍🏻😁👍🏻😀👍🏻 Let's live to live happily ❤️ Source: Received through whatsapp

-A guide for new entrepreneurs: Business relies on 5 C's Capability -> Contacts -> Customers -> Cash -> Continuity... (start from first Capability -> above...) Most of the new entrepreneurs i have seen find the last step difficult..  But if this is achieved, the cycle will start and the outcome will be called Business.  Without continuity, your sale would end up to be a one time show, and most of the stories in the market resonates around it.  The Key to continuity is review & feedback... this will give you the root cause.  if your good customer does not return, you may need to accommodate his review feedback.  And this will bring continuity you are looking for!! Our compilation of issues due to which sales have failed after one round, or few rounds are... - non-availability of delivery facility,  - lack of online payment methods,  - prices seem over shot,  - quantity verses cost mismatch,  - dwindling tastes,  - one f...

-   Entrepreneurship has become a very famous and fancy word in the 21st century. The Young fellows you might have heard say that they are entrepreneurs or they aspire to become one. What really the game of entrepreneurship is, it is altogether a different career option compared to the traditional job market. A student who becomes an entrepreneur after his studies have to take a risk in developing his idea into an operable, and truly realistic solution. If you look at the entrepreneurs, they have really tried to solve the world problems, and many entrepreneurs started from a small scratch and they have become billion-dollar brands and organisations. If you take an example of Tesla, a USA based electric car company, when Tesla had this initiative to launch electric cars similar to other fast cars, nobody thought this idea could work. The industry of electric cars had earlier failed because it had a problem with the mileage, in terms of the sustainability of battery in a lo...

Reaching the Pinacle of Mount Everest does not happen headlong. It does happen day by day, step by step. You too can move towards your own personal mountaintop by taking each step at a time. The Everest climbers don’t jump up to the summit. No, they climb it bit by bit. There is a great amount of dissatisfaction among the people that they don't change even after going through a lot of life coaching seminars and other life skills workshops. What actually we need is we need to know really where we are struck in our micro steps. We have to clearly understand where are we getting struck and what actual solution and approach we need to follow in our each tiny step. Be it an improvement in work efficiency, bettering relationship, managing personal tasks well etc etc. I had this question in mind, there are tons of moti...

 Dear Friends!! The biggest investment during the Pandemic is to have a balanced health. Health is wrongly pursued as psychical health however a holistic picture of a sound health is  *when your mind and body is in sync* which means you have a balanced health.  A study says that only 65% people do physical excercise and only 10% invest into their mental health. The fact is shocking yet true. Encourage you all to prioritise your Mental Health as well. * Consider you brain as an Organ like any other organ.  *Like other organs Brain can also dysfunction *Brain can also fall sick and get diseased  I use a zumla or a muhavara or an Idiom which goes like this  *when there is an issue with heart(Dil) we don't call the patient Deewana than if the brain has an issue why we call them Mental/Mad or look at them differently?* Think about it?  With this thoughts I tried to hold each one you with some awareness session under *Jagruth Learning Hour* and tried to educ...

"The feeling isn't there anymore?" I asked. "That's right," he reaffirmed. "And we have three children we're really concerned about. What do you suggest?" "love her," I replied. "I told you, the feeling just isn't there anymore." "Love her." "You don't understand. the feeling of love just isn't there." "Then love her. If the feeling isn't there, that's a good reason to love her." "But how do you love when you don't love?"  "My friend , love is a verb. Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her.
