Hesitation kills the Courage



Neil Armstrong is the first person to set his foot in moon. But, do you know who was supposed to be the first person?  Many don't know...His name is Edwin C Aldarin...He was the pilot for the Apollo mission. He was working for the American Airforce. Moreover he had experience of space walking, hence selected as the pilot.

Neil Armstrong worked for the American Navy. He was selected for his courage as Co-pilot. When the Apollo mission landed on moon, they received a command from NASA, "Pilot first".But Aldarin was hesitant, thinking about "What will happen", "will I get sucked in or will I burn out? ". The hesitation was not for hours, but few seconds.

In the meantime, NASA sent the next command, "Co-pilot next". Within next second, Neil Armstrong put his foot on the moon & became part of world history.

World history was changed in one second... Though Aldarin had the qualification and talent, because of hesitation, he is not recognised by many people.

The world remembers only the first, person who comes first...

This is a good example of how people lose out because of hesitation & fear. Whenever you see the moon, remember this, a moment’s hesitation can stop us from our greatest victory.

We all have great potential in us, the only thing that stops us from achieving, what we are supposed to achieve is our hesitation, fear and shyness.That kills the Courage in you.

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...

Yoga and meditation for trustful

The trust is derived from the dependability of another person; the dependability is derived from the reliability. The Reliability means consistently performing according to its set standards. Can we apply this for the human beings? Can we expect the consistence performance of any being?   The performance of any person is based on the mind and emotions. Do the mind and emotion are reliable/predictable to themselves? We expect the person to be trustful. When the mind and emotions are not reliable to himself.  How the person can be reliable to others? Then, can the person become trustful to the others is the big question…? No one can be defined as perfect trustful, but some people are obviously more reliable than others to you in those regards. Based on the individual priorities people define the trust and decide who can be more trust or less trust. There is no perfect trust person available. Try and control your mind and emotions as much as po...

Chase the Vision not the Money

We e xpress gratitude to the freedom fighter on the day of Flag hoisting  on 15th of August  across country  and  remember the people who gave their life to get the independence to this Country.  But the truth is “We remember the people who gave something to this world” not the selfish. We don’t take an example who achieved for the self. But an other side from child hood we have been told to study well and get the rank. Get the good job so that you can earn good money. Invariably parents, relatives, neighbours, friends always give a message about get some thing  in your life than giving to this world .  Even in the education counselling, we have been counselled to choose medical or engineering so that you can earn more money. Nobody says choose engineering and serve like sir M vishweshwaraish or become doctor and serve like Mother Therasa.  Get something from this world has seeped so depth in to our mind, the moment we see a beautiful ros...
