Let Nature Be Your Inspiration

four elements of natureA successful man is dynamic and not stagnant. Movement is the sign of life and inactivity means death. One has to always strive, struggle and move on to achieve success and stay on top. Inspiration and motivation is what gets one going. Different people get inspired by different ideas, some by awe inspiring personalities, some by thought provoking ideals, some by history while many by circumstances. Today I will show you how you can let nature be your inspiration.

Nature has four elements, Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Here is how you can set these elements as your source of motivation to move up the success ladder.

Earth: Try to hold your grounds when you have things going in your favor. Earth teaches you to stay firm, focused and productive. Earth teaches you stability, humility and modesty. People don’t say ‘down to earth’ for nothing. The deeper a seed goes to an earth, the stronger the tree becomes, make sure that your goals, aims and ideals are set to the very core of your personality, this is the only way you can realize your dreams. Sheer determination and rock solid dedication is the key to success.

Water: Be flexible, adaptable and free flowing like water. An ocean is the perfect symbol of tranquility, peace and serenity. Look at water, it adjusts anywhere and everywhere, it is colorless so you need to direct your personality in the same manner, be flexible, easy going and without any tantrums. Water can adjust itself in any vessel, in the same manner, you try to adjust yourself in any circumstances and company. Don’t be rigid, be open to new challenges and always face the world with peaceful and calm mind.

Air: Air symbolizes life, movement and dynamism. Keep moving, keep setting goals and always move ahead, there is just no looking back. Air enhances the power of the element it mixes with, in the same manner you be the strength of the people around you, keep motivating them, inspire them to do better and always be helpful. Air is the symbol of logic and intellect, a pen is mightier than a sword, hence make yourself heard by sheer logic and intelligence.

Fire: Fire may look like a not so friendly element but it is the fire that should be the crux of your personality. You have to learn passion, aggression, fierceness and eccentricity from fire. Little bit of adversity is a must otherwise too much of leniency will make people take you for granted. You have to have that sort of driving force within you and this driving force needs to inspire others to emulate you, to follow you, to obey you, you be the leader, let your voice be heard and make sure that it is being heard far and wide. This is only possible if you have fiery passion burning inside you. You can take the world in your stride if you have that sort of aggression which can lure people to follow you.

Trees are part of our life. Do you ever really think of trees? You are probably under the impression that the only people who think of trees are tree smugglers and politicians. That may be true, but today we are going to give you some good reasons to think about trees. Trees are one of those things that although you probably don’t give them much thought about them, you can’t live without them. If it weren’t for trees and forests, our world would not be a natural habitable place to live in. They convert the carbon dioxide into oxygen so that our air remains breathable. The problems is that number of trees in many parts of the world have decreased drastically. It’s not all bad news though! Do you know that the United States of America actually has more trees today than it did in the past? It’s true.

Simple ways to make you better Person

Are you a good person ? If some one ask you this question, the answer to this question would almost be a ‘Yes’. What if same question to your friend. Do you think he also given you a ‘Yes’. A persons nature depends on the way he behaves in different situations. Irrespective of any situations in order to become a better person you need to have few qualities.

Try Something New and Repeat

Curiosity is the mother of Invention. Be curious to try new things in life. Your quest to become a better person is to accomplish a new task evert time. Never restrict yourself. Try out of the box. Try something new, something crazy and something funny. Basically, If you want you to live a little the one thing we forget to do in life is live. And you don’t want to miss out on it. Spend a couple of moments with a friend or loved one, who knows they don’t have much time left, and you’ll realize there is so much you want to have done when your time comes. The last thing any of us needs when we die is a heap of regrets over what might have been.

Acceptance

A human’s capacity for intolerance and hate is probably the weirdest and most useless quality. If you can name a thing, you can probably find someone who definitely hates it. But has hate ever really served you well in life? Being hateful and angry all the time is not going to benefit you at all. In fact there is an evidence that it’s physically harmful. Accept the truth, understand people. The best thing you can do for yourself to be better; to be more well-liked; and, as it happens, to be healthier, is just roll with shit. Roll with it. Just imagine if all or even any of the racists in the world took the time to ask themselves what the big deal is and then just stopped everything. Wouldn’t everything be just so much more peaceful for everyone? More relaxing?

Prepare to say Yes

Maybe this is my own personal handicap, but I can get in negative ruts sometimes that manifest themselves powerfully through the word no. No matter what the situation is people tend to have a ready answer ‘No’. Why would I ever do that? Why would you do? Sometimes saying no is a product of wallowing in one’s own misery. It really involves a fundamental change in how you approach the life. You say no to so many things, because you want to. At this point you ask yourself things like What is harm in saying yes? or What has saying no ever got me? It’s not what you say yes to that matters, what matters is that you let go of the habit of don’t want to change things. That makes you dynamic and flexible and an assorted other words.

Learn

What is the best way to be better? Learn better. “The only true wisdom is to know that you knew nothing. This means more or less you will never know everything, and being aware that you don’t know everything is a good thing. Start from a position of realizing you know jack, and that leaves a lot of room to learn new stuff in your life. That makes you a wiser, more-rounded person, and that’s alright. While most of us can’t wait to get the out of school and start a sweet life. While school wants you to learn terrible things like how to make change with an abacus. There’s no downside to learning, unless you’re just looking into more efficient ways to dispose. Face it, learning is aces. Go learn.

Offer A Helping Hand To The Helpless and Make Them Happy

Nowadays because of all the rush what people forget to do mostly is stop and look. We are always in such a hurry and such a rush that even if someone screams for help we probably ignore and walk away, and it’s not because we are bad people but because we are so involved in ourselves that we forget to think about others. Not knowing that a little helping hand can change a lot.

Especially when it comes to strays. Stray dogs and cats who have nobody to fall back upon, who shiver on the streets during cold winter nights and who mostly roam about hungry on the streets are mostly always ignored. Just because they cannot speak and cannot express the fact that they are hungry or that they are cold or that they are hurting does not mean that they deserve to be ignored, it is these poor beings that need the most helping hands.

street01

How can we possibly help these creatures? If this is the question which you need to ask then it isn’t such a big problem to know exactly what to do and when to do it. Day after day these strays are tortured and killed, it is very hard to understand that why a kennel bred and pure breed dog is loved and cared for when strays are just left on the streets to fend for themselves.

Little things like offering them food twice a day, one does not even need to feed the strays of the whole town, just doing your own little part, feeding the one which cries in front of your house is enough, you will see how that creature jumps and wags his/her tail every time he/she sees you after you have showed them that gentle gesture. And that tail wag which you know that you have resulted into will bring the biggest smile on your face as well.

Other than that if you want to be really generous you can always make sure that when the stray has babies they are safe. Society has a bad habit shooing away these stray babies and worse even killing them off, prevent that stand up for them, they cannot speak they need your help.

Making sure that they are not freezing during the cold winter season is also something that is very doable. One does not even need to do much, just providing them with cardboard boxes which are anyways uselessly lying here and there in your house is enough, it keeps them off the cold streets and even though in a very small way but does help in keeping them warm.

So one can see that offering a helping hand does not necessarily have to be a very tough job, small helps like these also help to make a huge difference in one’s life.

Knowing English Does Not Make You A Good Writer.

Does knowing or not knowing English really affect your writing skills? I mean yes the English language does add certain credibility in your life but is that all that one needs to become a good writer? Or is there something more which is also needed?

writing

English is an universal language. Knowing it helps you get heard throughout the world, but in honest opinion writing needs much more than just English. Just English or knowing English will not make one a good writer, it will although give him/her a head start but to become a good writer one needs much more than just English.

  • The knack of being a writer:

Anybody and everybody cannot become a writer, you cannot just go to a football player and ask him/her to write you a story. Thus, the interest or the knack of writing has to be present in a person that is the very first step to becoming a writer, not anyone and everyone who writes is a writer.

452830868_0f1406ba87_b

  • Imagination:

Being a writer obviously requires a lot of imagination. Portraying beautiful scenes and drawing amazing pictures in one’s mind just by using words, is not an easy work. First those pictures need to be created in the writer’s head and then only can he/she put them into words in a way that will wow the world.

  • Creativity:

    Very similar to imagination, creativity actually deals with how exactly you present your work. How you present your prose or poetry or script, how you start it, whether the title the gripping enough, whether that first paragraph is good enough to capture everybody’s attention, whether the plot is a good one, whether you’ve been able to put it into words properly, whether at the end there is a twist, all these things fall under creativity. Writing these days cannot be bland and monotonous. It needs to be upbeat, intense and relatable for the audience to actually like it, thus just knowing English will not be enough.

  • A good hold over the language:

    It does not matter in which language you are writing your piece it can be English, Japanese, French and so on but a good hold over the language is very important, just knowing the language will never be enough to make you a writer, to describe what you are feeling and describing it the right way will be possible only of you have a good hold over the language.

So to conclude it is fair to say that just knowing English will not suffice, the above qualities are also important and very much needed to make somebody a good writer.

Why Are We Unable To Quit Facebook?

Why Are We Unable To Quit Facebook?

Social media has taken over our individual lives. There’s no point in denying this, it has. Be it instagram, facebook, twitter, tumblr, YouTube, and so on, it is our everything. The ways through which we show off ourselves. Everything is on the internet these days, from first day at college stories to heart breaks, from complicated relationships to the pain of losing someone dear. Everything and everyone is on social media nowadays. But what is so special about social media these days that makes it so hard to even think about quitting it?

facebook

Facebook is not only one of the oldest but also the most popular social networking site. The story of how Facebook came to be is now known by all after the infamous and very successful movie The Social Network, where the story of Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of our favourite social site, was portrayed. But what makes facebook so incredibly irresistible that the thought of staying off it is something that never crosses our minds, that it gave the very old site Orkut a tough competition.

Few of the most common reasons are:

  • Facebook connects people from all over the world : There have been instances when you have gotten friend requests from this person who you never even spoke to in school, but then facebook gives you the opportunity. That crush whom you could never talk face to face, facebook helps you to talk to him virtually so that you’re more comfortable, friends who’ve moved to different countries can be communicated through this.

socialmedia

  • Other than that facebook also helps in finding old friends or family members whom you once knew but then lost contact. That best friend from the 5th grade or that boy you had a crush on from elementary school, everyone and anyone is on facebook and thus if you know their name finding them is really not that difficult.

 

  • The attention which one gets via facebook is also something which makes it really really addictive. The number of likes on a picture makes you want to post more and more pictures, the attention you get from friends, or even random strangers is something a few people bask in and thus being on facebook becomes a must for them.

facebook

  • Facebook also provides a good stage for all kinds of advertisements and news. If you are in urgent need of something a simple facebook status is all it needs to attract everyone’s attention to you or maybe you are starting a business and need buyers and customers a simple page on facebook and the word spreads like fire.

Thus facebook is really much more than just a social networking site and probably that is why it is not possible to get enough of facebook.
