No Pain, No Gain

Most of the time people see only one part of the successful people and that is his success but they never try to see the other part which is hidden and full of failures, pain and learning. Reason behind it is the first part is easily visible to all of us, but second part only that person has experienced it and he only knows it very well.
There is one famous quote from Sir APJ Abdul Kalam, "Don’t read success stories, you will only get a message. Read failure stories, you will get some ideas to get success."

But all of us are very much attached to know the success stories, but and try to follow that person and think of ourselves will be successful one day without any failures, pain and learning.

I share you one of great personality and businessman Steve Jobs- Founder, CEO and Chairman of Apple Inc. We only heard about his successful life and business growth, but never tried to know the pain behind it how he become successful. Success is not a tool we just have to apply in our life and we will be successful but its hard work, patience and and determination towards our Goal.

Steve Jobs were college drop out and his financial condition was not good to afford for higher education so he started the study of his own.

One of the event he shared his past life to the students in the now iconic speech, “I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with. And I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it.”

Today we see Apple products – computers, laptops, iPods, iPads and iPhones are in the market and considered to be the top brands.

Success doesn’t come overnight. It requires focus and perseverance. In order to achieve your goals, keep in mind that you must expect great things and make them happen.

Lord Krishna was Arjuna's good friend but Arjuna had fight with Kaurva and went through many bad situations in his life then finally he became successful. He does blaming to Krishna why me going through all the pains, why me only suffering and when War was over and everyone started glorifying to Arjuna for his great victory then Lord Krishna told to Arjuna, "This is the answer why you? because I wanted you to become a successful person not coward."

Take home lesson is until and unless we will not go through suffering we will not get success and stop crying and start facing the situation.

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

Laxmana - The Hidden Hero of Ramayana

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you. But when we get into the deep of Ramayana and see the value of Laxmana, We see he was the hero after Lord Rama in the whole story. Laxmana represents  who carry out Laxmi with him and serve Lord Rama by his good will. Laxmana always eager to serve Lord Rama, when Lord Rama was about to go for exile for fourteen years Laxmana immediately stood up & ready to go along with Lord Rama although he was not asked to go to exile. Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
