We are all human beings

At the end of the day we are not Gods; not even devils. We are human beings. There is loads of stuff that shall shut their doors on our faces. There is a mighty chance of things going wrong when you just expected them to go right exactly how you planned. No wonder such backfiring always change our moods and emotions. Things that don't work out carry the power to switch us off for some moments. All of a sudden all the energy feels as if it's drained out. The motivation to go ahead no more lingers on the mind. All these are very much natural because we are human beings. Just like how we can go high and laugh rolling on floor the opposite also holds good. These situations shouldn't make us blame ourselves.

Let's go back to the time when we were those kids who cared a least about what the world around us was doing. All that we were focused on was our games, our food and our tiny, little homework. We didn't bother what others thought about our colour or clothes. When someone disappointed us or fought with us, we definitely felt bad and cried in the arms of our parents. But after some time we got back to our normal routine of playing and enjoying childhood. None of the pressures of the universe could levy their burden on our shoulders. We could run, fall, jump, hide, sleep and do every other thing that was possible without worrying about what happened just an hour ago. Feelings are an intricate part of human beings. Sometimes they are good; sometimes they go down to being bad also. We must accept this truth of highs and lows of life and emotions. As we grow older people teach and train us to be ever-happy which is a very hypothetical and ideal situation to ever happen on this planet in our lives. It's very easy for someone to say to you to be happy when you are sad just like how it's easy for you to do the same to someone else. But changing the emotion is not so easy at one switch. It shall take its time. Until then, we must agree to the fact that we are prone to such mood swings. If the emotion can swing from good to sad then it can swing back from bad to good also. There lies the hope for every one of us. We can get back to our energetic states also, not just lose them.


Life is there to offer all kinds of challenges to us. It wants us to go through all kinds of emotions. It wants us to experience all kinds of scenarios. As you expect more from life it only gives back more to you. All you need to do is to enjoy this wonderful ride called as life. We cannot be perfect all the time. Perfection is an illusion. We must agree to the fact that we can also make errors and be ready to correct them. If we act the same manner all the time then we won't remain as humans; we turn into stones which remain the same no matter which situation they are in. The essence of life is change. It can be change in our emotions or thoughts. It can be a change in our perceptions or feelings. We are all humans ultimately.

New from the old

There is a concept of a bird called Phoenix. It is said that this bird has no end to its life and is eternal. It grows from the size of a small bird into a big beautiful bird with unimaginable magical powers. Then as days pass by, it weakens into the older self and burns into ashes. This is not the end still. Then once again a small baby bird is born out of these ashes which repeats the life-cycle. Probably you can witness this in the movie Harry Potter.

The example of a phoenix is a clear indication that something new always is born out of the old and the existing. Even the famous salesman-cum-speaker Zig Ziglar says that creativity of coming up with something new lies its beginning in the amass of lot of existing knowledge previously. There is nothing that man has created newly which was non-existent before. Whatever the innovations that man takes to his credit have all been different combinations of the existing materials on earth. This doesn't stop at the materialistic things only. Going forward with a simple example of an aeroplane, man had no idea of flying in the air until he saw the birds doing that. That is when it struck to his mind as to how he could achieve the same and Wright brothers did the work on this. The more you are exposed to, the more you know, the more you learn, more is the number of things that you can play with. You can experiment by having different combinations of different informations in different quantities to come up with something new everyday. Hence target to read more, learn more, travel more, teach more and do more.

Most of the people today are obsessed with the concept of patents and new inventions. They fail to accept the fact that they need to use the existing things to create something new. They are under the misconception that their work will not take help from anyone else's work and spend years of time and energy in vain just thinking as to what new, out of the world invention that they can come up with. If you are one such individual of such a group, please come out of it and think as to how you can use the old and existing facts to serve any pressing need of the current world. This approach of yours will lead you to innovate novel methods and new devices that will add to your achievements list. You can reach out to me on is.mohanbn@gmail.com
