If you are afraid of flying, why be a bird?

When a sparrow is born, it flies. It falls to the ground. It rises again. Fails a few times. And learns its way.

When an eagle is born, it has little choice. Its nest is a few hundred feet above the ground, and a single fall can be fatal.

The baby eagle has to learn how to fly in its very first flight. A failure – and it falls a few hundred feet onto the ground – possibly killing it.

But what if it succeeds. It will grow into a large beautiful bird. And it shall be called the king of birds.

What you give, is what you get.

Never GIVE UP!

you are as close to giving up, as you are to success ,not the most hardworking, nor the man who made it to the list last year, but the fittest will survive.

It is also one of those times, when you feel like you are no longer in control of your life. The days end before they begin. Sometimes, today and tomorrow seem to run (and get over) in parallel! So, if you are facing any of it (alright, even a part of it ), my advice to you is – Brace the chaos.

Some of the people I work with, serve in the IPS and IRS, and are writing the exam, and I know what they are going through. I often take AM calls. (The last guy who called me at AM was worried about getting IFS, and not being able to write the exam again. See the irony?)

Lets face it. You have signed up for the Nation’s most competitive exams,And I can tell you that the ability to withstand strain ( and stress ) will define who the winner is.

So unless you accept to live with the levels of stress you may be going through – and make peace with it, you will keep fighting your own biology.

And you can’t win that way. So accept the current levels of your existence and keep going. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

The bad things about good things is that they are difficult to begin. And form a part of habit in 20 days –

when you write on paper, you write on your mind. They give you a sense of accomplishment. Every day. And accomplishing small things every single day, is the key to achieving bigger things eventually.

We are always rewarded in public for the work we put in private. So there is glory at the end of the hell-hole. I can promise you that.

Make Groups of 2 or 3. The second secret ingredient. We are the average of five people we most interact with. So you better have a good group. do not be the most intelligent or smartest in your group,groups should not have friends. Strangers, with the same mission as you, work best.every morning, set an agenda, or a set of Mains Marathon questions. Or your own. And ask everyone to submit / notes answers by evening. That way, for every topic.

difference between the man who will make it and the man who will not is a lot about faith.don’t expect anyone at home, friends or family to understand your emotions right now.

You only have two months to study- which is time enough to change the world. Change your future, and your destiny. And you can sleep as much as you want after that.

Do whatever it takes. But more importantly, be patient with the outcomes. So leave no stone unturned. And success will be yours.

Until Next Time….  SUBEH SINGH (SAHIL)

Tolerance and love……a short story

images

Ten years ago, there were communal riots in Hyderabad, at the 10th anniversary Fatima , who lost her husband in the communal riots, came to the spot to lit candle.

A lady journalist who came to cover the news , started interviewing Fatima, after asking some questions about name and other details,

Journalist asked , 10 years down the line , what kind of message you would like to give Hindus,

Fatima replied, thank you.

Journalist with astonish expression, what, do u want to say thanks, who killed your husband???

Fatima, yes , u are thinking about the Hindu who killed my husband, I am talking about 5000 Hindus who came to my husband funeral , and many Hindus who supported me financially, mentally , supported me during judicial trial process.

Journalist….. Whatever may be , don’t u hate the person who killed ur husband

Fatima……..hate is a costly thing, I use it economically, moreover, my husband and the killer does not have personal animity. He killed my husband out of anger, in a certain circumstances, so I hate anger, I hate the people who created those circumstances , not the killer.

Journalist…..did u ever meet or talk with the killer???

Fatima ……no

Journalist…..if you are willing to talk, I can arrange a phone call , would you???

After thinking for awhile, she said “yes”.

Journalist with her contacts in jail, arranged a phone call, to her surprise mohan Singh agreeded to talk.

Fatima ……mohan Singh, how are you

Mohan ……fine madam.

Fatima…..(she is in tears, ) why did u kill my husband??
Mohan…….( After so much time), on that day my daughter birthday, I finished my office work early, to celebrate Sarah birthday. Earlier she called me 10 times to come early. With birthday cake, when I went inside, ………………..my Sarah body cut into 6 parts as it was her 6th birthday, my wife throat cut after raping her brutally, my son went missing. When I was searching for my son very intensively, I suddenly found a boys dead body. At that moment I was desperate and lost my sense and logic, nearer I saw your husband  ismail. I killed him brutally with iron rod.

Journalist…..how her husband accountable to your family lose???

Mohan …….I lost my conscience, I feel so guilty , in the last 10 years , my thoughts are always about Fatima madam, how is she?? What is her mental condition?  How she is sustaining financially ,. And I have one last wish, as my death nearers, after my death in the heaven I meet ismail, will hug him convey my guilt to him, will talk with him and have food with him, if possible prepare food for him .

Fatima ……she burst out but not speaking anything,

Mohan…….madam, would u forgive me??

Fatima……I am no one to forgive mohan, the day u felt guilty god would forgive u, u are free of sin.

Journalist……mohan why did u agree to phone call?? If she is angry , are u ready for kickbacks???

Mohan……I killed ismail when he was hardly 25. I also heard he just got married few months ago. What mistake he has done?? How horrible Fatima madam position is??  Whom she has to blame?? If I dont know why other person killed my family?? That is awkward and miserable situation,  one should know the reason for death, without realising I created same situation to Fatima family, ismail  did not know why I killed him???

When I was the reason for such ghastly error, I am deserved for any kind of shaming,and blaming, so I agreed to talk.

In fact u need to ask the same question to madam, why she agreed to talk with me, I killed her husband, she has so much frustration and anger, how she suppressed it , how she managed it while talking with me, it is not so easy thing.

Fatima ……..mohan, when u feel ur guilty that is a big punishment, already u suffered a lot , live remaining days peacefully, and when u go to heaven say my husband, your wife is happy and peaceful.

Mohan …..in tears ji madam.

After the call is over, a boy of 13 years old came to Fatima and said, “ma  shall we leave???

Journalist asked , Fatima , did u marry again??

Fatima , remain silent , as if answer is no. After the son went , she said, he is mohan singh missing son. He is the reason for my husband death, so i considered him as my son.

Journalist…..tolerance and love stories are great to read, but when they happen really it is difficult to believe and I feel proud to witness a memorable story. This story last with me, by sharing I will be remembered. I don’t find any difference between Fatima and Jesus, Jesus had great heart to forgive the people who killed him, Fatima has great heart to upbring the son of murderer . Although Fatima and Jesus belongs to different religions both acted and thought  in same way, because ,after all, all religions speak same language, with different tongues. When people understand this , india is free of riots and can cherish it’s unique culture, and diversity,.

 

If you follow this, it will change your life forever

“And this too, shall pass.”

The essence of life wrapped in a single phrase.

Whatever you need to do, your heart already knows it. Go for it. Don’t hesitate. Don’t create doubts. You have one life and it’s too short to waste on irrelevant things. Even a seconds doubt can snatch the opportunity from you to write a great history.

Nothing is permanent in this world, not even your sorrows nor your happiness. All will pass away. Only memories will last. Listen your heart and act fast. Go pursue your dreams.
