Stand Up And Speak Up


If you want to be seen. .... Stand up
If you want to be heard... Speak up
If you want to be appreciated..... Shut up

If you have done incredible things or good things for people, let the people speak of your own achievements or good works other than yourself.  It stays in their memory for life.
Speak about issues that affect you and others. Do not sit down in silence or watch unconcerned and wait till things go wrong before you decide to speak up or act.

Or better still say to yourself....no,  that's not my problem. That's their problem. I can't be any part of that problem. I'm just going to sit and watch or mind my own business. If the problem is that for all the community or family to solve and you sit idle or act unconcerned without helping them out, that problem will come back and haunt you again and again. So speak up and help!

Do not speak evil of others or allow others to talk evil about others to you. Today it may seem fun to do something bad to others. Don't forget, tomorrow it will be your turn to face the same music. 
For that's how the rules of life works, which is, there is no action without consequences.
What you reap today, you shall sow tomorrow.

Do not hold back on helping others, when you have the means to. If you feel that for any other reason, you cannot help or support them, tell them the truth (I can't help you).
Do not give false hope to make them feel or hope you can help them, and disappoint them at the last minute.  It is a dishonourable thing to do.

Stand up and fight for things you believe in.
Things that are very important to you.
Do not sit idle and let others decide for you concerning your own life. Have your own opinion, not the opinion of others.
Do not be a coward to say No sometimes to certain things or some requests.
You will be on your way to living the life that you want.

How Failure Breeds Great Achievers

I get asked by many people a lot of times... Why do you always like writing motivational stories and messages to inspire others. What inspires you, and what do you get from doing that  every morning anyway? My answer has always been simple. To prevent people  especially you from giving up in life when you face the least form of failure. My greatest wish is to provide hope, faith and reason for you not to give up in life. I would like you to think of me   as your symbol of Inspiration for each day. Most people, ironically, think  that people who always inspire, motivate and encourage other people don't have problems,  they think they have a cozy and smooth life, that's why they are able to encourage people. But believe me, that's not true. On the contrary, those kind of people like me, are the kinds of people facing all sorts of problems, challenges and difficulties in life. The trick here, however is, I have chosen to look at  my failures, challe...

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...
