“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” Plutarch
The mind is eternal; And lives forever….. For the thoughts it gave birth to When it was alive.
Great people leave their impressions, In the minds of others. For their goodness, For their uniqueness.
Even when they leave their body; People bow down to them, Of their own free will. Respect automatically flows.
It’s thoughts, and the deeds…. Which are the outcome of the thoughts, That make up our lives. Which ends with a bang or a hiss.
Losing a great mind; Is a loss to humanity. I bow down to such mind,s And pray for everlasting peace of their souls.
“And such too is the grandeur of the dooms We have imagined for the mighty dead; All lovely tales that we have heard or read; An endless fountain of immortal drink, Pouring unto us from the heaven’s brink.” John Keats
Appreciate other’s work. In order to earn respect, you must first give it. Sumita Tah
Work is worship. Lord Krishna in ‘Bhagvad Gita’ says, the purpose of life is ‘Karma’ or work. There is no greater worship than work. Lord Krishna says, “Do your work well, do not look for results.” As you do the work ,so will the results follow in its own course. It is expectations, which is the prime cause of grief. We are born to work- work for the betterment of mankind, and the world as a whole.
Work is work, and should not be discriminated upon. Every type of work is essential for our existence. Work should not be categorized as high or low. This type of categorization is existent in the under-developed and developing countries , where population is high and manual labour is cheap. In developed countries manual labour is held high regard and is well paid. This is also the prime cause of immigration from underdeveloped countries to the developed ones.
It is really
strange that people seem to look down upon some of the essential work as mean.
Cleaning, serving others, doing household chores are looked down as menial
work. Nobody is eager to do them. The truth is without these basic work, our
lives would be miserable. Therefore, we must change our mindset and understand
that no work is mean, and deserves equal respect.
We must do each and every work to the best of our capabilities and success is sure to follow. The secret of success is doing every work to perfection, irrespective of what we are doing. We must try to do the work so well that no one will be able to do it in a better manner. Every being must understand the dignity of labour, and make the world a better place to live in.
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted , or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.” — Martin Luther King
