The Art of Selective Reading!

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few to be chewed and digested. The beauty of Bacon's quote lies in its flexibility. Not every book requires the same level of commitment. Being a discerning reader means understanding which approach best suits the book in hand. Sometimes, a "taste" is enough to satisfy your curiosity. Other times, a book deserves to be savored and contemplated. So, the next time you pick up a book, ask yourself: Am I looking for a quick escape, or am I ready to embark on a deeper journey? By employing this simple framework, you can transform your reading experience and make the most of the precious time you dedicate to books. Happy reading!

The Black Dot •

  One day, a professor entered his classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They all waited anxiously at their desks for the exam to begin. The professor handed out the exams with the text facing down, as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked the students to turn over the papers. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions–just a black dot in the center of the paper.  The professor, seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, told them the following: “I want you to write about what you see there.” The students, confused, got started on the inexplicable task. At the end of the class, the professor took all the exams and started reading each one of them out loud in front of all the students. All of them, with no exception, defined the black dot, trying to explain its position in the center of the sheet. After all had been read, the classroom silent, the professor started to explain: “I’m not going to grade you on this, I just wanted to give you ...

The Way to Happiness🎈

  A simple yet profound story which asks one to contemplate if life is being lived in the right way.  This lesson was by an anonymous teacher to the students that has taught lessons to people across all ages.  The story goes like this: A wise teacher once brought balloons to the school and told her pupils to blow them up.  She asked them to write their name on one of the balloons.  After the children were done writing the names, they tossed their balloons into the hall and the teacher mixed all of the balloons up so that none of the children could trace theirs easily.  Five minutes were given to the kids to find the balloon with their name on it. However, even after a frantic search, none of the kids could find their own balloon. The teacher then asked the children to pick the balloon that was lying nearest to them and give it to the person whose name was written on it. In less than two minutes, everyone was standing holding their own balloon. The teacher ...

The Power of Silence

  Once a farmer lost his precious watch while working in his barn.  It may have appeared as an ordinary watch to others, but held a deep sentimental value for it. After searching high and low among the hay for a long time, the old farmer got exhausted. The tired farmer did not want to give up the search for his watch and requested a group of children playing outside the barn to help. He promised an attractive reward for the person who can find his beloved watch. After hearing about the reward, the children hurried inside the barn and went through and round the entire stack of hay to find the watch. After a long time looking for a watch in the hay, some of the children got tired and gave up. The number of children looking for the watch slowly decreased and only few tired children were left. The farmer gave up all his hope to find the watch and called off the search. Just when the farmer was closing the door, a little boy came up to him and requested the farmer to give him anoth...

Be like an Eagle

  Did you know that an eagle can foresee when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? Instead of hiding, the eagle will fly to some high point and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind can pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle soars above it. The eagle doesn't escape or hide from the storm instead it uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the stormy winds which others dread. When the storm of life or challenges hit us, we can rise above them and soar like the eagle which ride the winds of the storm. Don’t be afraid of the storms or the challenges in your life. Use it to lift you higher in your life. This is a small story but gives a Big message. May this help you in empowering your life.

Want To Make Decisions? Do This

 Do you ever look back on your decisions and think, “Why I on earth did I do that?” Many time we make bad decisions. But the funny thing is that bad decisions never seem like bad decisions at the moment. You can never avoid making a mistake. However, you can do your best to avoid making dumb decisions. Plus, by learning from other people’s mistakes, you can make their mistakes your own. You’ll learn faster that way. Don’t Overthink. Smart people are way too preoccupied with doing the right things. They want to have a perfect life, career, house, business, car, holiday, etc. When you put too much pressure on yourself to make the right decisions, you get analysis paralysis. When you overanalyze every single decision, you become paralyzed. Result? Nothing. Now, that’s a bad outcome! That’s how people end up wasting their lives. The only way you can stop overthinking is by making yourself aware of your thinking process.  You can’t control the future. So stop thinking about it. Do ...
