Positive thought from the epic Ramayan

In the Ramayana we read a beautiful advice from Ravana to Rama. The epic says that after a fierce battle Rama succeeded in shooting that arrow which will end Ravana’s life. The arrow hit its target and Ravana was about to die. Suddenly it dawned on Rama that the time had come when he had to return to Ayodhya. At Ayodhya, as a king, he had to run the administration. Now, the problem was, Rama knew that he had never run an administration. He also knew that Ravana was a veteran administrator. So Rama approached Ravana with a request to advise him briefly on how to run an administration.

Ravana advised cryptically ‘shuvasya shighram, ashuvasya kàlaharanam’. Ravana also pointed out that, as he himself had not followed this dictum, he was about to meet his tragic end. As an example Ravana described that the execution of one of his good thoughts, namely to construct a staircase linking the earth and the heaven, he had not even started, while, one of his bad thoughts, namely the abduction of Sita, he executed very fast. So what we learn from this story is that not only we should have positive thoughts, but also we should be up and doing in giving shape to those positive thoughts.

Enjoy reading "Outliers"

After a long break I got to post something interesting today.

I am reading the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. It will surely change your view about your life and make you positive. The author has done exclusive research and explains about exceptionally successful people and their success stories..

Shelfari's description about this book as follows :

In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
