True Worth


Today ask yourself a simple question- What is the worth of your life on this mother earth?

How long does it take you to get an answer? Do you even get an answer? Should it be taking you this long to get an answer?
The conundrum arises of the fact that the world compares worth as per the Forbes List. Worth is measured in respect of the money you possess. Hence the problem. Is a new born then absolutely worthless?

We are obsessed with giving numbers to everything and then comparing them. Even though we know that we can't give a man's worth only by his bank balance, car, house etc. Yet we give them numbers and even strive to increase them. It is a case where we know everything yet prefer to ignore the obvious for the lust in the darkness.

Even the number crunchers describe the house, the car, the job as an "asset". Now isn't your honesty, friendliness, morality, an asset. If yes, then why shouldn't that form your worth. But how do we measure that. So we take the easy way out and ignore it altogether. Hence, what it gives is only an illusion of worth and is in no way the True Worth.

Your True Worth comes from your inner self. How worthy do you consider yourself to be. Your dignity, integrity, self-respect and above all a clear conscience. A self satisfied man runs after no rankings and yet attains more than other people might. What's agonising is that you can't take away anything from him. He doesn't counts on his money but his conscience. You can't pull him down. None of the politics works against him. All one will end up doing is getting deeper in the darkness in trying to do so.

We must remove the blind folds and realise this simple fact. You are what you make yourself to be. There are no setbacks, no failures, no disappointments if all you do is give your best all the time and go in with a clear conscience. Being honest to self must always be the only priority. All you are answerable to is yourself. So, realise your true worth and let go of the baggage you have been carrying so long.

"The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money."

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead

India has the largest pool of talented manpower but very few innovations and patented products.

Ancient India was the hub of learning and innovation. India had scholars like Aryabhatta, Charak, Chanakya, and many others. But, with time, that zeal for innovation has faded away due to the constant lack of encouragement from the whole system. Ancient India gave zero to the world, invented chess, developed ayurveda but today not many discoveries take place in India. This lack of innovation is the result of the systemic failure of our society. From school to college to workplace, we are taught and tamed into following the set rules. We are taught to be followers and any attempt to think freely is viewed as dissent. Our society has closed itself to any criticism or corrective evolution. This was quite evident when we saw the introduction of Genetically Modified seeds in India. Every technology has its pros and cons, and we need to encourage the spirit of research and innovation to increase the pros and limit the cons but an outright opposition to anything new will be a hindrance
