DISCIPLINE

Discipline is an essential part of life. Without it, one cannot even imagine living a successful life. Whoever does not keep discipline in his life can never be successful, whether human or any wild animal.

If we want to be successful in life, we have to wake up on time and sleep on time, and without wasting time, we have to follow discipline. Discipline does not come from someone's teaching; it has to be learned by oneself.

Like a Teacher can teach you, you can lead to walking on the right path, but following that education depends on you. If you want to become a successful person and illuminate your parents' name, then start the following discipline in your life from today and now and always respect your elders.

Kama Puja is a proverb that tells us that Karma is the real worship and not worshiping for hours in the temple.

The happiness and satisfaction that we get from work cannot be obtained through worship. If a person has faith in his hard work, he cannot lose hope even when life is miserable.

We should take our work as worship and indulge in it with a peaceful mind and soul. This will give us the absolute joy of life. So, we should worship our work. It means a lot to worship our work; More than worshiping in a temple.

Looking back to history, we find that all the great people who achieved greatness did so only because of their immense passion for working in their respective fields. He was someone who didn't do things differently but did things differently with a high level of passion and commitment to his work. Work is the true essence of life which brings excellent ideas to mind and makes people great people.

CHARACTER- I

 

        Today's man has reached the pinnacle of progress where he has made the impossible possible. Humans today have reached the heights of the moon and have discovered many minerals from the depths of the ocean. Today every person is involved in their progress, but there is also a problem towards which no one's attention is attracted. That's the problem - character building. The word character means good and noble mind, action, nature. The person who will have a good mind, the body will be healthy, the mind will be healthy, and the intellect will be sharp, that person will be of character.

          The term character is extensive. Human progress in the qualities of knowledge, deeds, worship, etc., can be done only by character. Character is the seeker of action and salvation. People take the character to mean character, not self-character. The father himself tells a lie but prevents his son from doing so. The master himself may be dishonest, but he wants the servant to be honest. The feeling is that no one pays attention to self-character. Then who will build the character? By the way, it is said that the brightness of man's character is visible in the sufferings and objections. When everyone fails, he remains firm only because of his courage and success. Knowledge without character is also said to be useless. If the character is built, then friends, helpers, wealth, honor, and happiness will come on their own. So now is the time to raise our character by our ideology and way of spending our time.

Bad Times & Good Times in Human Life

There are both bad times and good times in human life. But people always have a fear of bad times. Similarly, according to his nature, he gives the credit of good times to himself and enjoys happiness but puts all the responsibility of sorrow on God. The reality is that we suffer the joy and sorrow of our actions, and we are responsible for both happiness and sorrow.

The human heart is very fickle, it is difficult to control it, but it is not impossible. If we are able to control our heart, then it will be very easy to understand that we are responsible for our own happiness and sorrow. A person who cannot control the mind is probably not capable of taking any decision. The decision taken by him may at times prove to be against him. Just like in bad times, when a person gets nervous, and his mind becomes restless, then his nervousness is such that a good warrior puts his weapon in front of a wise warrior.

Therefore, restraint is such a quality in a human being who can make appropriate decisions in both adverse and favorable situations.

POLITENESS- A GREAT VIRTUE

          A man who behaves politely is not only respected but also loved by others. Politeness towards others means that we are civilized and cultured. A rude man can never be called cultured.

Politeness will also improve your relationships with others, help to build respect and rapport, boost your self-esteem and confidence, and improve your communication skills.

         A kind word does not cost anything, yet the world is full of people who always try to behave to offend others. One does not lose anything by being polite, though one may lose much by being rude. So why should all not cultivate the virtue of politeness? It is a virtue that will bring us success, pleasure, and popularity.
