Remember Purpose is more Important than Need.

There is another similar anecdote about cheetah and deer.

In the chase between cheetah and deer, many times deer wins. Because cheetah runs for food and deer for life.

Remember… here too, “The purpose is more important than need.”

Purpose is more important because it gives us a reason to wake up in the morning. It makes life easier to live knowing that you have a purpose and are able to achieve that purpose. Your purpose should make you excited to be alive and breathing.

John F. Kennedy has quoted, “Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.”

Everyone on earth is busy, be it a CEO, blue collar worker, a street vendor everyone over there is busy busy busy. While you can be busy with a dozen tasks every day, when you don’t have a clear purpose of your life or career, you may be heading towards the incorrect path.

That’s because many times our goals may have nothing to do with our purpose, which means that you can pursue your current goals for the next 10, 15 years, only to realize that this isn’t what you wanted after all.

So again from this we understand that purpose is more superior to goal, it is because, our goal is made because we have some purpose all together to achieve. If we do not know the purpose, then how can we derive our goal.

How can we know our purpose:

1. Try to know your passion, passion is sometimes connected to our purpose, because passion comes out of pure hidden purpose.

2. Everyday take sometime out for yourself and think, do you enjoy the tasks which you are performing currently.

3. Is your current job is out of your passion, or just you were carried over by the life's tide.

4. Try to create an imagination of what you want to achieve in next 10 years.

5. Start interacting with people around you and take feedback on your life's engagement/work life.

6 Listen to what other people appreciate about you. And analyse for yourself, are you alive to work on the projects/work for which you are being appreciated.

It does not matter where have you reached in your life, career etc. What matters is are you really enjoying what you are engaged at.

Is Humility the Most Valuable Skill We Can Teach?

- 💡 The Unexpected Lesson: When Seniority Bows to Skill: Last week, I had an experience that didn’t just brighten my day—it reaffirmed the value system we desperately need to cultivate in every learning environment. I stopped by a local learning center where a guest faculty member was teaching. This wasn't just any instructor; he was a highly respected individual, a senior professional with years of corporate experience under his belt. In almost every conventional sense—age, career tenure, general experience—he was superior to me. But there was one crucial connection: I had trained him in a specific, professionally-certified skill that he was currently teaching to his students. He had learned this particular expertise from me. A Masterclass in Humility As I quietly stepped into the back of the classroom, I expected to simply nod and observe. What happened next was a moment I will never forget. The senior faculty member, mid-sentence, spotted me. He immediately stopped the lecture,...

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...

Open the taps of giving. And you'll open the floodgates to happiness.

- I had heard of *Dead Sea* in school. No one ever told me this side of the story. You may find it interesting. *A tale of Two Seas!!* As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea. It’s so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as *35%* - almost *10 times* the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead Sea. And hence the name: Dead Sea. The other Sea is the *Sea of Galilee.* Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea. Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan. And yet, they are very, very different. Unlike the Dead Sea, the *Sea of Galilee* is pretty, resplendent with rich, colorful marine life. There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too. In fact, the Sea of Galilee is hom...

Doing what's right builds confidence:

- Doing what's right keeps your conscience satisfied. And this builds self-confidence. When we do what is known to be wrong, two negative things happen. First, we feel guilt and this guilt eats away confidence. Second, other people sooner or later find out and lose confidence in us.

Poem: For in the depths of our soul's dark night, Memories shine like stars, a guiding light:

- Forgetfulness: In minds where memories reside, A flame of remembrance, let it abide. Don't let forgetfulness creep in, And steal the moments we hold within. For in the depths of our soul's dark night, Memories shine like stars, a guiding light. They whisper stories of love and strife, And weave the tapestry of our life. So let us cherish every fleeting thought, And hold dear every memory we've brought. For in the realm of forgetfulness's sway, Lies a darkness that takes away. The laughter, tears and moments shared, The love that once was, and still is spared. The lessons learned, the trials faced, The triumphs won, the wisdom placed. So let us tend the flame of mind, And keep the embers of memory aligned. For in the warmth of recollection's glow, We find our identity, and all we know. Source : Received through WhatsApp message.

#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...

A chain of trust, that never grows old:

- "United We Stand Seperated We Fall" Side by side, we walk the path, Together strong, in every aftermath. Through laughter and tears, we've made our way, A bond of brotherhood, that shines each day.

In this circle of friends, we find our strength, A unity of purpose, that forever length. We celebrate our differences, and embrace our past, Together forever, in this bond that will forever last.

Why doing all the things in a routine makes you stress free?

- A routine is the practice of regularly doing things in a fixed order. Brushing your teeth neatly and getting ready for office at the same time everyday is a routine. Making breakfast everyday on time is a result of routine. Waking up at 5 a.m. and exercising every morning is a routine. Snippets: - 'Humans generally follow a daily routine in their lives. This could be getting up at a certain time, eating breakfast, going to work and so on. There’s a set pattern that our subconscious mind gets used to. It gives us a sense of control and comfort'. - 'Doing something regularly allows you to stick with it, Behaviors become automatic when performed several times'. - 'A lack of organization and routine can develop feelings of anguish and may make your thoughts negative which will make you think more about your problems'. - 'If we want to structure a routine then we should be aware of the tasks that are to be completed'. - 'A structured plan will get thing...
