The only way to find your self is to first lose yourself. Lose yourself to all worldly affairs, immerse yourself in the deepest oceans of material world - until the special moment of awakening, a pre-destined call that everyone receives at some stage in life. From that moment onwards, onsets the process of self-realization and your journey on the path to illumination. And thus you find your self, only after losing yourself in the jungle of materialistic world.

I often wonder about the most common belief that God would never give you anything more than what you could possibly handle; especially when I look around to realize that life often throws curve balls one after another that most people find difficult to manage, physically and/or emotionally. It's true that many people face numerous difficulties and heart-breaking hardships that include social rejection, racial and sexual discriminations, disturbing poverty, horrifying unemployment, crippling mental illnesses, extreme violence including rape, and most challenging diseases like cancer and so on, just to name a few. My personal understanding is that life can surely shower you with lot more challenges than you can handle, and that's the reality you've got to accept. That being said, I also believe that only God will give you the strength - which is necessary to endure through those challenging situations, and to overcome the adversities most effectively. So you mustn't lose Hope when faced with challenges in life, and should continue to have strong Faith in God for Courage, Endurance, and Strength that would enable you to overcome those difficulties. And I am sure God will look after you, as always, during those challenging phases in your life. Cheers!

Il est paradoxal que vous commencez souvent à voir le monde dans une nouvelle lumière, et dans ses vraies couleurs, uniquement lorsque vous détourner d'elle.

Il est vrai que personne ne peut revenir en arrière dans le temps et prendre un meilleur départ; mais sûrement ne importe qui peut commencer à partir de maintenant et de faire une finition absolument fabuleux. Pour un optimiste, la vie offre des millions de possibilités à chaque moment, ne importe où, ne importe quel moment. Profiter au maximum de «maintenant» - toujours!

In my view, we should always treat people the way they themselves wish to be treated. However, not many people follow this golden mantra, and they treat you as you would allow them to. So it's very important to be firm while being nice, and never let others violate your dignity and self-respect, in any and all relationships.

It's been debated for years whether Beauty is in the eye of the beholder or Beauty is in the heart of the beholder. Yet it's not so well appreciated that Beauty can be totally worthless without her true appreciator. As Sir Allama Iqbal pointed out in his poetry: "For a thousand years the most beautiful and rare flower of Narcissus (or Nargis) laments her blindness. It's with great difficulties that the one with true vision is ever born in the garden." I also believe that either Beauty or Creativity or Genius attains her true meaning only after meeting with her authentic aficionado, her true appreciator; and that seldom happens easily. A connoisseur is therefore absolutely critical, IMHO, for the existence of Beauty, Creativity and Genius in our world.

Jako odpowiedzialni rodzice, musimy uczyć nasze córki starannie odróżnić subtelne różnice między działaniami przez mężczyzn. Powinniśmy uczyć nasze córki rozpoznać różnicę pomiędzy - człowieka, który jej schlebia i człowieka, który ją uzupełnia, człowieka, który wydaje pieniądze na nią i człowiek, który inwestuje w nią, człowiek, który postrzega ją jako swoją własność, a człowiek, który postrzega ją prawidłowo, człowiek, który pożąda jej, a człowiek, który ją kocha, i wreszcie, człowiek, który myśli, że jest darem dla kobiet, a człowiek, który wierzy, że jest to dar dla niego. musimy nauczyć naszych synów się, że prawdziwy mężczyzna, który szanuje kobiety i traktuje ich z godności i równości - zawsze!

La plupart des choses positives dans la vie sont souvent précédés par des négativités - paradoxalement! Par exemple, nous tirons notre force incroyable qu'après la réalisation de nos faiblesses. Nous apprenons à aimer inconditionnellement seulement après l'expérience de la haine dirigée vers nous. Nous devenons plus tolérants et les partisans de l'égalité qu'après la discrimination monde jette sur nous. Nous cultivons ainsi et mature avec le flux de la vie, niant toujours la négativité, et se déplaçant vers le haut et au-delà. - Deo

La vie peut être pleine de tant de rebondissements inattendus et tourne que vous ne trouverez jamais dans un film de Hollywood ou de parcelles de Broadway. Pas étonnant! après tout, ces films et pièces de théâtre sont écrits par des scénaristes professionnels, tandis que votre histoire de vie est écrit par le pouvoir suprême, et ni les scénaristes de Hollywood, ni dramaturges broadway peuvent jamais égaler sa créativité.

Life cannot be measured by summary statistics, such as the money accumulated in the banks, or the shares acquired in the stock market, or the number of real estates owned etc. In my view, the only valuable metric that would quantify your life most accurately is the number of lives you were able to help selflessly, and influence most positively. The true purpose of human life is very noble IMHO....always above and beyond mere metrics of materialistic matters.

Make the most of everything that's available, especially during the challenging times. If life throws lemons at you, make sweet lemonade. Lay down a solid foundation with bricks that your enemies throw at you. And most importantly, make the most of yourself, because that's all there is for you right now.

Most of the inventors, even today, secretly wish that they had invented Jeans, because of the beauty and grace coupled with simplicity and comfort that blue Jeans have created in our world. Yours truly is no exception either! What's more, I love wearing Jeans as casual wear, especially during the weekends. I also think that whenever a celebrity or a beauty or a genius wears jeans, it always makes the most impactful fashion statement, loud and clear!

Mumbai is really and truly Mother to millions! Interestingly, the Mother is called MUM in English, BA in Gujarathi, and AAI in Marathi. Hence MUMBAI is definitely a special name for Mother, in my view. Long live Mumbai.

Négativité niant travaille parfois beaucoup mieux que d'envisager la positivité, surtout dans les moments froids, sombres et misérables de la vie, quand tout semble sombre sans rayon de soleil." - Deo

Never give up efforts when you fail, because FAIL is truly an acronym for 'First Attempt In Learning'. Never lose hope, because HOPE is an acronym for 'Hold On, Pain Ends'. Successful people are those who never lose Hope, never give up Efforts, and build their Success out of failures. In my view, Successful persons rise from the ashes of their failures like proverbial Phoenix.

Nous ne vous énervez pas simplement parce que quelqu'un nous a menti. Nous perturbons principalement parce que partir de ce moment nous ne pouvons pas faire confiance à nouveau, pas seulement cette personne, mais tout le monde. Il peut ne pas être trop difficile de pardonner et d'oublier, mais il est presque impossible de réparer ce que la confiance brisée.

On every June 21, the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, I remember this unforgettable line from Albert Camus: 'In the depth of Winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible Summer.' It's true that we often discover our true strength only during the most challenging phases of life. We must keep alive and rekindled that divine spark of Stregth that is always within us, invincible and indestructible, as we welcome Summer on June 21 every year.

Selbstwertgefühl kommt nicht von außen kommen. Lassen Sie die Meinungen von anderen ausgedrückt Einfluss auf Ihre eigene Meinung über sich selbst. glauben an Ihre Ziele, Träume, Werte und sich selbst; egal was andere sagen oder tun. weiß deine Selbstwert - immer!

Self-respect is the best and greatest gift you'll give to yourself. The self-respect builds the strongest self-control, self-dignity, self-discipline, and highest self-esteem that enables you to never settle for anything less, and importantly, to walk away from anything or anyone that undervalues you, and treats you as a second choice. Never forget that you don't need anyone who doesn’t treat you with dignity and respect. Lead your life the best way, powered with Self-respect; and the world will respect you.

The Greek Mythological Story of "Pandora's Box" teaches us the significance of self-control and self-discipline that can keep us away from the evils in the world. It also assures us that at the end of the day, there is always Hope - despite the severe storms of challenges, and when everything seems so dark and bleak. Never lose Hope, especially while overcoming the challenges of life.
