When I was growing up in India, I was taught that if you are gifted with special talents, you don't own them. Those talents aren't yours, because they come to you straight from God. I was further advised to use those God-gifted talents for advancing society, by helping people who're in dire need. It's one of the most powerful teachings that I've inherited from my childhood in India. It constantly reminds me that Life is a give-and-take process; and that the more you give back to society, the more you'll receive from God. This interesting philosophy of life instills humility, and keeps my feet firmly on the ground; no matter which country or continent I live in. And I am thankful to my parents, who guided me with such invaluable lessons of life.

Si vous êtes debout pour une raison, se dressent comme un arbre, forte, puissante et de grande taille. Si vous tombez, vous tomberez comme une graine qui germe et crée un nouvel arbre dans ce monde. Notre monde doit certainement beaucoup plus d'arbres que ce que nous avons aujourd'hui!

Souvent dans la vie, vous avez à travailler sur les deux fronts, traiter objectivement des locaux diamétralement opposés, puis arriver à la meilleure solution. l'ouverture d'esprit vous permet d'être un réaliste qui est également optimiste à cœur. Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître, vous espérez pour le mieux, et attendent aussi le pire dans le même temps. Vous opérez dans le monde réel avec la meilleure attitude positive, tout en comprenant parfaitement bien ce qui est pratiquement possible dans une situation donnée. Cette combinaison synergique d'optimisme réaliste (ou réalisme optimiste) peut vous aider à faire face à des problèmes d'une manière efficace et positive, à mon avis, surtout pendant les phases difficiles dans la vie.

Successful people are those who pick up the lemons that life throws at them, and turn them into lemonade, lemon marmalade and even crema di limoncello. You have got to be really smart and savvy to build a solid foundation with the bricks that people throw at you. Success comes to only those who are smart to transform every threat into a new opportunity, and overcome the adversity with courage and determination. History teaches us that those who work hard and smart, always triumph in the end. Make a great day, my friend!

Successful people don't just dream, but also pursue their Dreams with Passion and Perseverance until they achieve Success. Fortune always favors those who help themselves, and Success comes those who work smart.

Sunday is a special day, in my view, to stop and smell few roses, be thankful for the beauty and grace in life, and thank God for everything that we have. It's the day to appreciate the fact that many things we often take for granted some people pray to have, somewhere in this world. So be happy with what you have, don't worry about the things that you can't control, and enjoy your Sunday! Make a great Sunday!

The most important lesson I've learnt is that you should always treat people exactly they themselves wish to be treated.

Truth is the most elegant and wonderful thing in the world, until you use it as a weapon to deliberately hurt others. Be truthful at all times but never be brutal and venomous. Always be nice to people, no matter what others say or do. Cheers!

Un ser humano es siempre incompleto, si él / ella no respeta los derechos de los animales tanto como los derechos humanos. A menudo se puede juzgar a un buen y un mal humano por su / su actitud, el respeto y el trato hacia los animales.

Vos interactions avec le monde extérieur sont largement déterminées par la façon dont vous vous sentez. Voyez-vous, à moins que et jusqu'à ce que vous vous sentez heureux et confortable sur vous-même, vous ne pouvez pas être heureux avec les autres. Vous devez vous accepter comme vous êtes en réalité. Une fois que vous être en phase avec vous-même, vous atteignez l'harmonie avec le monde extérieur. Votre bonheur est vraiment dans vos propres mains.

We, the humans, have been exploiting poor voiceless animals for thousands of years - in the name of religion, in the name of science, in the name of sports, in the name of fashion, and last but not the least, in the name of food. Hopefully some day this will come to an end, once we, the humans, appreciate the fact that even the animals have rights too, just like us, the humans. Let's hope that day will arrive soon! - Deo, on 149th anniversary of foundation of ASPCA, April 10, 2015.

What others think about you is the Perception, while what you know about yourself is the Reality. The Perception and the Reality would match perfectly - only if you are honest and truthful in your character, and transparent in your behavior. Transparency is the precursor to Trust, IMHO.

Whatever we are today is the outcome of the choices we had made before. When we connect the dots, we realize how various events led to the results that we see today. If we do not like the outcome, we must change our choices. In my honest view, we create our own future with our own hands, and Destiny is surely not a matter of chance but of choices we make everyday. Good luck my friend, in making right choices.

When you first speak with the customer service agent about the glass being half-empty or half-full, she/he will agree with you that the glass is half full/empty, and she/he will do anything in her/his power to fill the glass up at no extra cost to you. However, after a full investigation you will be informed, eight to ten weeks later, that you had mistakenly received a half full/empty glass since you only paid for a quarter. You therefore received a half full/empty glass at the price of a quarter-full/three-quarters empty glass. You should consider yourself very lucky, and that any further complaints might result in your having to return the half full/empty glass at your own cost of shipping and handling, with no guarantee of any refund. You are also asked to fill out an electronic review to provide your thoughts on how your customer service experience was, and how it can be improved further.

Absurdities and Anomalies of Life always amaze and amuse me. Shared here are my favorite 21 mind-boggling dichotomies: (i) Only Certainty in this world is that there is nothing Certain, except death and taxes off course, (ii) Only Constant is the Change, (iii) The more you try to impress folks, the less impressed they will be, (iv) The more afraid you become of death, the less likely you wll enjoy life, (v) The more afraid you are to fail, the more likely you will fail, (vi) The more you fail, the more likely you will succeed, (vii) The harder you push for anything, the harder it will be to achieve, (viii) The more available anything is, the less likely you will want it, (ix) The more you learn, the more you realize your ignorance, (x) The more you argue with spouse or boss, the less likely you will win, (xi) The more you try to come close, the farther you will get pushed, (xii) The more choices you will have, the less satisfied you will be with any of those, (xiii) The more connected you get in social network, more isolated you will become, (xiv) The more you talk about your flaws, the more perfect you become in society's eyes, (xv) Peace is the only battle worth fighting for, (xvi) In order to better understand the world, you will have to turn away from it, (xvii) The more the people talk about something, the less they know about it, (xviii) The less someone cares about others, the less he cares about himself, (xix) the more you hate a trait in others, the more likely you are avoiding it in your own self, (xx) Those who can't trust others can't be trusted, and finally (xxi) No matter what it is, at the end of the day, the less is always the more.

Admettre votre erreur et de prendre la responsabilité de vos actions nécessite courage et l'humilité extraordinaire. Les gens interprètent mal souvent une responsabilité comme une faiblesse. Au contraire, la responsabilité démontre votre caractère ouvert d'esprit. Disant "désolé" nécessitent le niveau plus élevé de capacité intellectuelle. Seules les personnes forte d'esprit et bien équilibrés peuvent le faire sans effort. Toujours fier tout en prenant la responsabilité de vos actions - parce que ce la seule partie de votre personnage qui vous différencier du reste aussi remarquable et extraordinaire.
