Life Skills

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. Source: Tedx and Youtube Note: This blog is an initiative of CLF to create awareness on crucial life skills.

Please please dedicate some time in your daily schedule to understand yourselves. After doing daily self reflection, slowly you can discover self change. It's like sharpening your axe. See in the below story, what will happen if we don't sharpen the axe The story goes something like this… Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant. The pay was really good and so were the working conditions. For those reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he would work. The first day, the woodcutter felled 18 trees. “Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!” Motivated by the boss words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring down 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only manage 10 trees. Day after day, he finished with fewer trees. “I must be losing my strength,” the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apol...

Write Down What You’re Feeling to Better Understand Your Emotions Have you ever felt emotional, but couldn’t pinpoint why? Labeling your emotions is an important first step in dealing with them. Research has shown that people who write about emotionally charged episodes experience a marked increase in their physical and mental well-being. When you’re going through a tough time or a big transition, try this exercise: Set a timer for 20 minutes. Write down (on paper or on your computer) your emotional experiences from the past week, month, or year. Don’t worry about making it perfect or readable; allow your mind to let go. Use phrases such as “I have learned,” “it struck me that,” “the reason that,” “I now realize,” and “I understand.” These phrases help you contextualize your emotions and gain perspective on why you’re feeling a certain way. You don’t have to save the document; the point is that the thoughts are now out of you and on the page. Adapted from “3 Ways to Better U...

The wife of the owner of the donkey  asked her sons to go and burn the house of the farmer. The boys went late evening and carried out their mother's orders happily assuming that the farmer too would have been burnt with the house. Sadly for them it wasn't that, so the farmer came back and shot the wife & the two sons of the owner of the donkey. Remorseful, he asked the demon why did all this have to happen? The demon said, "I did nothing, I only released the donkey, but, all of you reacted, overacted and released the inner devil." The devil doesn't do anything but wake you up by trig...
