Beware

Of falling in love with a dimple and marrying the whole girl or

Of falling in love with a moustache and marrying the whole man.

Guidelines I find helpful

To me of course.

You have to find them yourself.

Availing strength

vs

Assembling strength

Knowing strength

vs

Availing strength

Learning the hard way

vs

Learning the soft way.

Towards and being

 In optimum health

To have more and more energy

 Focus on what you have

Learning Ways

There are soft ways and hard ways of learning

Current information is an example of a soft way.

 
Personal  painful experience is a hard way of learning.

Managing by Implications

When people choose to live by implications

They tend to behave more responsibly.

Pointers that please

Once we concede it is a pleasure to please

Once we concede it is a privilege to please

We look for pointers to please.

Thoughts

Thoughts

Shape up when we put them down on paper.

Are you aware ?

May be you are.

May be not.

Because you are quick on the uptake, at times, you do not listen to the complete message.

You may like to test it out.  LISTENING IS POWER.

The saying is worth reconsidering

The saying is: Do what you can and some more.

That makes for non-stop doing.

I do not know whether it helps.

Is it not better to have spare time, cushion time, review time?

I tend to make suggestions; offer tips

My expectation is not thanks.

My expectation is also not an affront.

If you like, take them and if you do not, leave them.

If you show displeasure, I tend to stop offering.

You may move on; the other may not

Sometimes you tend to chide somebody close

That tends to upset him and he becomes noncommunicative.

Then you attempt to do small talk.

And he does not respond. He may be nursing his wounds.

May be you have noted this.

Your interest is not chewing him.  Yours is to let him be at his best.

Overgeneralising does not help

To say that you have not come at 9 today – that is one thing.

To say that you are always late – that is another.

The saying is:All generalizations are false.

When you are specific and modest, your stature will rise.

When and how to chide the driver

In TVS there used to be a rule.

Do not chide a driver when he starts the day.

It makes him less efficient and more prone to road accidents.

When he completes the shift you may.  Even that can be in the form of advice.

Accidents

Where I am born is an accident.

When I was born is an accident.

We can treat an accident as an accident.

The pity is that we so often  don't.
