जिन घरों में बच्चे और माँ-बाप ठीक से बात कर लेते हैं, वहाँ सुसाइड नहीं होते..
एक कॉन्ट्रैक्टर का बेटा 10वीं में फेल हो गया
बच्चों को डांटना बजाय उस बाप ने उसी दिन शाम को एक बड़ी पार्टी रखी।
सबको बुलाया और सबके सामने बोला — मेरे बच्चे ने मेहनत की थी,फेल हो गया,कोई बात नहीं।
Naval Ravikant: "You're going to die. It's all going to zero. What's there to stress about?"
"Stress is when your mind has two conflicting desires at once. You want to be liked, but you want to do something selfish. You don't want to go to work, but you want to make money. You have two conflicting desires, and that's stress."
Most people use stress and anxiety interchangeably. Naval says they're different things:
"Anxiety is this pervasive, unidentifiable stress where you're stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why. The reason is you have so many unresolved problems that have piled up in your life, you can no longer identify what the problems are. There's this mountain of garbage in your mind. A little bit is poking out the top like an iceberg; that's anxiety. But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things."
His fix for it is thinking about death:
"One big anxiety resolver for me is just ruminating on death. You're going to die. It's all going to zero. You cannot take anything with you. If you can keep that idea in front of you at all times, what's there to stress about?"
Which raises a question. If nothing matters, isn't all time wasted?
"What is wasted time? Everything is wasted time in a sense because nothing matters in the ultimate. But in each moment, it's the only thing that matters. So if you're doing something you want to do and you're fully there for it it's not wasted time. If your mind is running away, wishing you were somewhere else, anticipating the future, regretting the past, that's wasted time. That's time you're not present for."
And the part most people miss:
"People get worried about dying and no longer being here. But they don't realize that so much of their life is spent not being here in any case."
The "best school" isn't always the one with the biggest name, best infrastructure, or highe rankings.
One factor parents often underestimate is distance from home.
An extra 60-90 minutes of commuting every day may not sound like much, but over the years, it can take hundreds of hours from a child's life.
Time they could spend playing, resting, exploring a hobby, being with family or simply doing nothing.
If two schools are reasonably comparable, proximity deserves serious consideration.
Because your child doesn't just need a good education.
They need some childhood left after school too.
Is Surya Arghya really a superstition, or are we just losing touch with ancient logic?
When an uncle saw me offering water to the sun, his immediate reaction was, "Why waste water on superstitions?" But when I broke down the real reason, he completely changed his perspective!
Here is why offering water to Surya Dev is a pure scientific & lifestyle habit:
The Water Cycle: Sun drives evaporation, clouds, and rain. The water cycle exists because of the Sun. Also, pouring this water into plants ensures zero waste!
