Focus on the higher, lower will drop itself

-

We always feel challenge to wake up our children in the morning. I am trying to set a discipline to wake up my son at 5.30AM. He spends more than 20 minutes to get up from bed after he wakes up.
But I observed one day, he had to go for a trip with his friends from school. He had to leave home by 5.00 AM. Surprisingly he got up twice in the mid night and finally  4.00AM before the alarm rings.
One thing we can make out here, “between less pleasure and more pleasure we always chose more pleasure”.
Between daily getting up and sleeping for while, sleeping is more pleasure, so, he prefers to sleep. On the day of school trip, the more pleasure to him  is going with his friends.
Now the realization is how we can create more pleasure to him instead struggle to wake him up.  Sleeping is everybody likes it, but solution to that is not reduce sleep, instead start liking something more than the sleep.
The easiest way to take a person out of hell is not to speak against hell, sell a heaven to him.
I tried this in his holiday, he likes cycling with his friends. So I set a schedule in his holidays the cycling in the morning 5.30 AM. One ring of alarm, he used jump from the bed and go for cycling.

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when he goes back.

33. Count your blessings not the troubles

 Count your blessings not the troubles  In my journey of life and the lessons gleaned from personal experiences that I aspire to share in the book I am endeavoring to publish, one profound revelation stands out. It revolves around our tendency to attribute our challenges and discontent to external factors—the country we reside in, the state and city we belong to, the educational institutions we attended, or even our family lineage. We extend this blame to the very fabric of our society, including our parents and their predecessors. Yet, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that the prosperity or adversity of a nation isn't solely determined by geographical location or available resources. Take Japan, for instance—a nation with limited arable land and abundant mountains. Despite these seemingly unfavorable conditions, Japan has emerged as a global economic powerhouse, relying on its innovative prowess rather than abundant resources. Notably, intellectual and racial differenc

"Covid 19 Pandemic: Embracing Life's True Values" The COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, forcing us to reevaluate our lives, our priorities, and our values. In the face of uncertainty, the pandemic taught us invaluable lessons that we must carry forward. These lessons are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder of what truly matters in life.  Life's Fragility:   "In the crucible of the pandemic, the fragility of life became painfully evident, etched into the fabric of a personal tragedy that unfolded within the circles of my closest friends. The story began when a dear friend's husband, on a business trip to Bangalore, found himself entangled in the clutches of COVID-19. The hotel where he stayed instructed him to leave immediately and go to the hospital. However, finding a good hospital was challenging, and he sought my help. An urgent plea for help echoed from both Bangalore and Delhi, where his wife anxiously reached out to me, seeki
