Mistake




Roman philosopher said this some thousand years ago and still it is true for us.

Mistake 1: Assuming that personal gain is obtained by crushing others.

Mistake 2: To keep on worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected.

Mistake 3: Insisting that a thing is impossible because you cannot accomplish it.

Mistake 4: Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.

Mistake 5: Neglecting development and refinement of mind.

Mistake 6: Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

Dear abhay
Thanks very much for appreciating for blog templet its really cool i loved it too :) and now abt this post where you asked abt relation btw the knowledge and the pic

the simple thing wat happened when we realize that we have committed a mistake we simple want to hide our face (generally because of shame/ego) and that how we want to close our eyes basically want to escape from eye contacts :) and more over sometime we commit crime a conscious mistake with our eyes closed like we are not seeing it :) thats how that gal in pic hiding her face and more over keeping her eyes closed... now that is one interpretation to the pic to relate the title mistake definitely u can have many :) now truely speaking to you when i was posting this topic i searched on google image for mistake and i liked it most so chose this one :) long story short :)

Sri Sri University

Sri Sri University Formal education trains people to take up different roles in the society in pursuit of economic growth and social order. With the Indian industry poised to take off as a global economic power, the demand for skilled youth to guide and carry on this pursuit can not be underestimated. Paradoxically, it is confronted with an ever increasing number of educated youth, with mismatched skill-sets: youth with an abundance of technical knowledge but clearly lacking in focus on inner joy, initiative and creativity. Sri Sri University is an international initiative to address this anomaly by developing tomorrow's leaders, managers of change, trained to the industry requirements, with an attitude and skill-set transcending specific disciplines. Inspired by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, students will look beyond their own limitations and share bigger responsibilities as worthy citizens and brim with confidence. In them we may see not just the smartest, but the leaders,...

Focus on Problem vs Focus on Solution

Case 1 When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil. Case 2 One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the pro...

About Meditation there are so many myths and concepts. And the truth is what you experience that is reality for you.

Now journey start as wondering mind has lost most of distractions which...
