BOUQUET OF VALUES

From Sampath’s Desk:

 

BOUQUET OF VALUABLE AND VALUED VALUES

 

Ø  To realize your ignorance is the first step towards wisdom.

Ø  Don’t wait for the ship to come in, swim out to it.

Ø  Life without values is tantamount to ‘moral atrophy’.

Ø  Education should confer empowerment through enlightenment with moral edification.

Ø  Education is not an exit-route just to earn and look for greener pastures of money and prosperity, but a gateway with passport to all-round intellectual excellence with a human(e) face.

Ø  One without human values is like a paper rose without fragrance.

Ø There is no exclusive list of values but it is almost all-inclusive throughout, womb to tomb.

Ø  Some of the valuable values are – respect for elders and fellow citizens, laws of the land, rules of the road, sympathy and empathy by stepping into the shoes of the needy, civic sense, societal etiquettes, tolerance, celebrating the diversities rather than just tolerating, peaceful mutual co-existence, love for nature, nation, and humanity at large.

Ø  Teach practical and pragmatic wisdom to children to keep robust health shunning all that is evil, wicked and junk.

Ø  Real intelligence lies in being able to make the right choices.

Ø  Some people are brilliant outside but hollow within.

Ø  Life is a continuous process of learning, imbibing, nurturing and living with valuable values.

Ø  Education removes your weakness and refurbishes your insight.

Ø  A harassed or misled child sits backbench in a state of trance thinking ‘offence is the best defence’.

Ø  Variety is the spice of life.

Ø  Differences are part of life-game and lifestyles.

Ø  Tolerance is the key to peace.

Ø  We need to recognize, welcome, adapt and adopt emerging trendy changes in people due to generation gap, say, like complexities of life, intricacies in fixing, re-fixing and transforming priorities, susceptible sensibilities, intelligence quotient, and management of their emotional temperature.

Ø  As a student climbs up the academic ladder, his/her mind should broaden as high as the sky.

Ø  Ethics is a science of values.

Ø  A cynic knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Ø  Devotional music inculcates values like truth, civility, honesty, good societal, and ethical practices.

Ø  Humility is the foundation and springboard of all values and virtues.

Ø  Open your arms to change but don’t give up your values.

Ø  Schools, the bedrock of students’ values, play a crucial role in their future real-life as dutiful citizens.

Ø  Try to become a person of values rather than just success.

Ø  Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.

Ø  Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Ø  Coins always make sounds, but pieces/bundles of paper money are always silent. So, when your value increases, be nimble and humble.

Ø  Your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth.

 

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

 

Life is short, and therefore, one thing being certain, the death, let us take up a great idea and ideal, and give up the whole life to it. For what is the value of life, this vegetating little low life of man? Subordinating it to one high ideal is the only value that life has.

 

Good values emerge from the following premises. It is our own mental attitude that makes the world what it is for us. Our thought makes things beautiful, or ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

 

Life is short, the vanities of the world are transient, but they alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive'.

However, he was brought up by his father himself at home giving him core divine knowledge and wisdom. Swamigal learned Tamil literature, grammar, and music, especially playing Veena.

By age 12, he learned by heart at least 10000 hymns, mostly devotional numbers.   During my boyhood days in Triplicane, I used to go to his divine and spiritual discourses. Tamil language and devotional hymns...

FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!

Image
From Sampath’s Desk :     FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!     The concept of ‘philosophy’ used here is about the empirical aspects of life such as - how to find joy and happiness generally and to keep ourselves cool and unperturbed, clothed with feathers of positive philosophy in the face of ordeals and distress. Again, on the one side, it is about feeling self-joy, and on the other, a solace-seeking exercise during trials and tribulations. Some tips have been attempted here.   If you happen to be rich in wealth and affluent, think that God has given you the extra wealth and money for helping others. The best way to find joy and happiness is to make others happy by charity without expecting anything in return much less gratitude. It is only the possessor of wealth who should be actually grateful to God for providing him/her the opportunity to help the needy. It is of course easier said than done, but the real joy lies in giving and in going to the succo...
