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...

Guru is question of necessity

Guru Brmha, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwaraha… Guru is always considered as a God. Since Guru play a role of bringing a light in the life of a person. In all the scriptures the Guru is described as good as God. But Guru never says, “ I am God”. But disciple (seeker) duty is to offer respect to the Guru just as he offers respect to God. If all the lights in the room immediately shutoff, we would not be able to tell where we are or where others are sitting. Everything would become confused. Similarly, in materialistic life the darkness. Therefore it needs light from sun, moon or electric light for illumination. The Guru responsibility is to bring his seekers from darkness to light. In materialistic life darkness means ignorance. A criminal may say, “I did not know the law,” But he will not be excused if he commits a crime. Ignorance has no excuse. Similarly, a child, not knowing that fire will burn, will touch the fire. The fire does not think, “this is a chil...
