Overcoming Hopelessness:


About the Video:
Nick talks about the importance of parenting in early childhood and it's significance in overcoming hopelessness. Willpower is a driving force for making our big dreams come true, but if we don't get a miracle in life, we can always be a miracle to someone else.
About the Speaker: Nick Vujicic was born in Australia to a Serbian immigrant family, with a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. Most of his childhood he struggled with depression, and after a suicide attempt, he decided to concentrate on what he did have instead on what he didn't. He realized that his life story inspires many people.

*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 monit

Sometimes in life, we need to look back to move forward a lot faster:

-  “The real battle is always in your mind. And your mind is under your control, not the other way around” A person is all the times doing multitasking- personal life, professional life, and self.  A truth about life is you cannot change what's happened in the past. Your focus needs to be on performing whatever you have got to do at the present moment and doing the best you can to achieve what you vision.   Sometimes things don't go as planned, but remember to keep moving forward.   Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith. Sometimes in life, we need to look back to move forward a lot faster and create a better future .  Looking backward  helps us to understand our past in ways that were previously hidden from us . In addition, thinking about the past often reinvokes feelings associated with that time. Sometimes this is a positive or healing experience. If  we are moving forward from a failure, it is important to look back  in order to analyze where we went wrong . To

#Ratan Tata- From Childhood to kingmaker, interesting facts and advice:

 - *Ratan Tata ...* *In His Own Words !* “I had a happy childhood, but as my brother & I got older, we faced ragging because of our parent’s divorce, which in those days wasn’t as common. My grandmom brought us up.  "Soon after, when my mother remarried, the boys at school started saying all kinds of things about us. But our grandmother taught us to retain dignity at all costs, a value that’s always stayed with me. It involved walking away from these situations instead of fighting back. "And if it weren’t for grandmom, I wouldn’t be half the person I am today.  "My father and I couldn’t agree on the same thing – I wanted to go to college in the US, he insisted on UK. I wanted to be an architect, he insisted on me becoming an engineer. If it weren’t for my grandmother, I wouldn’t have ended up at Cornell University in the US. It was because of her that even though I enrolled for mechanical engineering, I switched majors & graduated with a degree in architecture. M
