“Vision is the spectacular that inspires us to carry out the mundane.”- Chris Widener

When we are young we dream of big things, huge things. As we grow older our common sense interferes. Nasty thing, common sense. It forces us to evaluate everything we do or want to do. It plants doubts and makes us take a step back from what we want.

Why fresh starts are the way to go for a better and exciting life

The reason new beginnings make us better all-round human beings.

New beginnings. They sound magical and hopeful. We tell ourselves that tomorrow is a brand new day, that from now onward I will do things in a different way. That I will be different, I will be more. It sounds a lot easier in our head than it is in reality. It takes hard work. Every minute of every day, you have to choose that fresh…

Change is unstoppable. No matter what we do or how much we try to stop it, we will continue to change as time goes by. Maybe not the core values, possibly not our ideals, but change is inevitable in miniscule ways every day. Life is a phenomena where nothing and no one is stagnates. Everything that exists, changes.

My father, on his way home from office, paid a visit to College Street (Kolkata, India) and bought at least a score of books, all abridged classics.

Escape Obsessive Materialism but not your Riches

Escape Obsessive Materialism but not your Riches

Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.
