An Open Letter to the Youngsters

Remember, your happiness does count.

An Open Letter to the Youngsters

Dear Youngsters, Congratulations for being the torchbearers of this generation. I know you have great ambitions and want to achieve most in your life. Though there is no set formula for success, here are 10 Sutras (well tried, tested & trusted) that will surely help you on your path to your destination, 1. You are original, unique and already the most beautiful human being. So, there is just no need to copy or emulate anyone else. 2. Set goals. Keep believing that you do possess the potential to pursue your passions. 3. Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it. 4. Develop good communication skills and people skills. Trust me, these two skills will surely take you far in the direction of your dreams. 5. Work hard, dream big and be sincere in any of your endeavors. 6. Always give your best without considering anything hard about the results. In doing so, you will realize the ultimate satisfaction even in your failures knowing that you left no stone unturned. 7. Keep in your mind that any failure is not the opposite of success but it's just a part of a success story. 8. Take good care of your well-being and your happiness. One must not only be mentally strong but physically fit as well. Because only then, you can do as much and as many things you want. 9. Remember, your happiness does count. So do what makes you feel good and if any opportunity given, do some good to others as well. 10. And last but not the least, be a good human being and do empathize with others. Put your best effort to do good to others and goodness will follow you all by itself.

GROW BEAUTIFUL!

Sometimes in life, you have to take some measures & stick to your actions.

GROW BEAUTIFUL!

Encountering people was once my biggest fear and it gradually grew into a phobia. Later in life, I realized that it was just not healthy for my personal growth. And then I followed this self-daring challenge as my religion.   

Believe it or not! But I used to be an extremely shy, overly reserved and much introvert person in my childhood. I was always hesitant in meeting new people around. Encountering people became my biggest fear. Somehow, it gradually grew into a kind of phobia. Later in life, I realized that it was just not healthy for my personal growth. And then, I started encouraging myself to greet and meet a new person on daily basis. It was like 'everyday facing your fear head on'. I followed this self-daring challenge as my religion. The changed attitude of mine benefited me not only in forming some very meaningful friendships, but it also offered me an opportunity to develop more confidence and courage in speaking up with the ones whom I didn't know at all.

Today, I count Daniel as one of my 'global friends'.

Daniel & I were complete strangers to each other in the first place and today, I can certainly sense a deeper connection with him. I can count him as one of my 'global friends'. Today, when I met him, we shared our stories and kept talking continuously for more than two hours. As I look back, I recognize that sometimes in life, you have to take some serious measures and stick to your actions. And that's how you proceed in life. 

Come Out of Your Shell and Grow Beautiful !
