IMPORTANCE OF PARENTS

                                         IMPORTANCE OF PARENTS 

Parents serve as role models not only through direct interactions with their children, but through the examples they set with their attitude and behavior within the family and in the outside world. By addressing their concerns, sharing their lives, and maintaining a constructive perspective, parents can be sure they are excellent role models for their children.Role models can be subjects of admiration and emulation. Through their personal qualities and achievements, they can inspire others to strive and develop without direct instruction.

Developing Patience

                                                 

Developing Patience

     As we human beings adjust to the ever-increasing speed of modern life, we often lose our patience, and in ways that would have been unimaginable even a few short decades ago. We sigh when forced to wait at ATMs, curse our computers for being so slow and honk our horns at slowpokes in traffic. Timeliness certainly has its rightful place in the scheme of things, but it's sheer folly to demand that everyone and everything around us move at the pace we dictate. Most of us could learn to be a little more patient.

      The good news is that patience is a mental skill, one that can be practiced and eventually mastered, even by the most impatient person.

      Usually we hear about exercising patience as it pertains to something else, like raising children or starting a business. The idea of cultivating patience for its own sake gets little attention, but there are some strong, compelling reasons for doing so. Impatience makes us lose our perspective, which hinders our power to create what we want and makes us vulnerable to attracting more of what we don't want. And losing patience constitutes a misuse of spiritual power.

      Think about it: most of us wouldn't even dream of handing over our innate power, for example, to think for ourselves to some religious authority or fascist dictator; yet daily we give away our power to remain calm and centered to things like long lines at the supermarket and inept sales transactions. 

      Impatience also takes it toll on our bodies, because it generates stress, which elevates blood pressure and wreaks havoc with the body's internal organs and immune system. Lack of patience harms the social side of life too: it strains relationships, causes discord in group situations and sets a bad example. And impatience often produces haste which, we are told, makes waste.

       Talk to yourself. Remind yourself how important tolerance and respect are.

Satisfaction

                                                          Satisfaction

There is no yardstick to measure satisfaction as it entirely depends upon the perspective of each person. What seems to be a full satisfaction for one person may be a meager for another. So, it all depends upon our mentality and approach. “Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory’ said Indira Gandhi. It is hard to find a person who has attained full satisfaction in life because our wishes are endless. If we cultivate the habit of feeling satisfied with things that are within our reach, there will not be any disappointments. “Learn to be satisfied. It is just as easy as being dissatisfied and much more pleasant “are the words said B Jacon de Jager. Nature has given us so much to satisfy every man’s need and not every man’s greed. So, be satisfied with what you have and lead a contended life.

My Mother


                                                                                   My Mother
When you knew how to speak, what was your first word ? It is Mom. We have grown up in the arms of our mothers. We have grown up in the great love of our mothers. No one loves us like our mothers, no one is willing to sacrifice everything for us like our mothers. If someone asks you “Who is the best woman in your life ?”, I bet you will say it is your mother. And if someone asks me like that, my answer also is my mother.
With me, my mother is the best woman in the world. No one can replace her in my heart.  I admire my mother, I don't know why she is always busy with daily chores, taking care of my family but she never say she is tired.
Every day, she is the first person in my family, who wakes up very early. Then, she makes breakfast for my family. When my father goes to work, I go to school, my mother stays home and does all the daily chores. When my father and I come home, there is always a delicious dinner, which is waiting for us. After the dinner, my mom washes the dishes. Sometimes, I ask her to help, but she says: “It is fine, you should go upstairs and do your homework”. Mom always wake up very early, and Mom is the last person can take a break after a busy day. I realize that without my Mom, my father and I cannot have the clean house, the delicious meal and the clothes which always iron straight. Mom gives me and my father all her love.
She loves us more than herself. Her love for us is great like the ocean, the universe and nothing can replace it. She is not only my mom, she is also my friends, my big sister, who I can share all my problems and stories in life with. When I am sad, happy or stressful, Mom is always by my side and comfort me. Sometimes, I get angry with my mom because she remind me too much things, especially they are all things I know. Then, I realize that she just wants me- her child to be good.
 When she cried, I felt so sorry and guilty. I wasn't brave enough to looked at her. Then I came to her slowly, hugged her and said: “I was sorry, mom. I knew that I had made a big mistake. I felt so sorry. Mom, please forgive me. I promised that I wouldn't do this again. I was so sorry. I made you cry.” And she hugged me tight, she whispered: “How couldn't I forgive you ? I was just a little disappointed, but I knew, you would know how to fix your mistake, I love you.” I cried after she said that, just a bit, but I did cry.
Mom, you gave me everything but you never ask me to pay back. You are the best, the greatest woman in this world and in my heart. I love you forever.
