Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness;
but direct them to it by what amuses their minds,
so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy
the peculiar bent of the genius of each.
Plato
Life is an endless voyage!! A voyage for which even the skilled mariner cant build a compass predicting the exact directions it may take! No cartographer has ever drawn an atlas locating the territories we may travel to! Because in the voyage of life your fortunes will travel up north one Sunday and on Monday it will head south bringing you misfortunes! You might have planned ahead to reach the summit but the voyage of life would have another plans taking you to uncharted territories when you least expect it! The Schools or the Streets don’t provide you answers for the questions life throws at you!! Not Self help books but the Past masters who summed up the meaning of life succinctly in beautiful verses are your Beacons of Hope here! Through their clairvoyance they convey great lessons about what really matters in life aphoristically but cryptically of course!!

According to Csikszentmihalyi, people are at their optimal level of happiness when they are in a state of “flow.” This is a state complete immersion – mentally, physically, and emotionally.
During flow, people are so engrossed in their activities, they fail to notice even hunger and time. People in flow are less concerned with external rewards; they do the activity out of sheer pleasure.
— Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi,Positive Psychologist, Father of “Flow“

But if a mirror
ever makes you sad
you should know
that it does not know you.
