Arrogance and Humility

ஆணவம் தலைமாட்டில் அமர்ந்தது அடக்கம் காலடியில் அமர்ந்தது -கண்ணதாசன்

(Translation)

Arrogance perches like a crown on the head,

Humility, sits unobtrusively at the foot

- Tamil Poet Kannadasan

 In the hierarchy of virtues, my friend, arrogance and humility occupy vastly different positions. Arrogance perches like a crown on the head,

puffing up the ego and distorting one's perspective.

Humility, on the other hand, sits unobtrusively at the foot,

grounding us in reality and fostering empathy for others.

It is only by cultivating humility that we can truly understand and appreciate the world around us.

Arrogance blinds us to our faults and limits our potential,

while humility opens our hearts and minds to new possibilities.

Friend, Be like the pressure cooker:

Pressure on head, Fire below

still whistle

You will be relieved pressure!


So let us strive always for the grace of humility, my friend, and walk humbly through this world.

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett      

Repeat the Basics!

When you repeat the basics You don't only become great - you will stay great! -Darius Foroux Repeat 🔂 the basics of many things in your Life: 1. Fitness - Walking  2. Philosophy - read your favorite Author - everyday! 3. Kindness - random act of giving  4. Business -  What is the purpose of business? 5. Writing  -  Read the "The Elements of Style - Strunk & White"  Its very simple : Figure out the basics of the given field : 5-6 principles And repeat them day after day Back to the Basics! If you do so , you will lead a life with chronic White-belt mentality 😅 leading to Humility  even if your performance is that of a Master Black-belt! If you do so,  you not only become an expert of the field you will stay as one!
