Reinvent the map and thus reinvent L I F E!




When was the last time you set out for a destination and at the end happened to realize that you reached the wrong place?
It happened to me and makes me think what could have done to avoid it?
First of all, those journeys usually started with a map- a map created in mind with lot of assumptions and own notions of the destination. Many at times I did not even mind to check with others or refer a well known map.
Each of these not-so-good-journeys could have avoided with a bit more attention to the map.
Well, I could relate this experience to the journey we are part of every day. The journey called life (no escape from it).
Unlike other journeys, the life journey does not give you a second chance. We are all busy living the life and following the ‘system’ - made by some-people-out-there. Shouldn’t we take a pause and think about the map we follow for the journey – L I F E?

I know there is no ‘life’ in life if I followed a not-so-sure-map or no map.
Do you happen to have a map made out of lot of assumptions (and/or) selfishness (and/or) self-pity (and/or) hatred? Is it stopping you from reaching your ‘best self’?
I think life has its own ways to show us the right path and the map will be reinvented every now and then from each of those experiences. We need to LOOK for it. Give attention to the details and the lessons it’s trying to tell us.
Also, aren’t there teachings already available for us to refer and reinvent the map? What stops us from following them?
Now,
 Take deep breath and try to see your own map. Be not complacent. Ask powerful questions. Reach out and re rethink. If you have to take that BIG leap in the process of reinventing the map, Do NOT be afraid.
Reinvent the map and thus reinvent L I F E!

Three bright ‘SUN’ny days…!

"Learning is finding out what you already know, Doing is demonstrating that you know it, Teaching is reminding others that they know it as well as you do. We are all learners, doers, and teachers." -Richard David Bach   Three bright ‘SUN’ny days…Those words explain the SUN Solaris cluster training we finished yesterday. A refreshing experience with lot of learning; to be precise the training opened many doors on both technical and personal front. All kudos to a brilliant trainer from SUN education service – Rajesh R . I don’t think we have many like him who can explain an advanced subject like this in a lucid manner. I and three other colleagues who attended from my team were equally skeptical when we were informed of this training. It was because this topic had nothing to do with our current profile. But today, I am clear that everything happens for a reason! It was quite interactive and he moved from technical topics to his personal experiences from time to time. S...

"Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you"

“Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds.” This sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H. in the ‘Uranah valley of Mount Arafat ’ (in Mecca ). After praising, and thanking God he said: “O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.  Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. God has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, howev...

Regulated Financial Advisor in Dubai, UAE

Dubai is an interesting city, multi-cultured, happening, and attractive. All sorts of people come here for work and business. 99.9999% may be good and has the right intentions but that .0001% can flip the perception of something you have. For example, the businesses here heavily depends on post-dated cheques(PDCs) and unless there is a recession or economic downtime, generally everyone sticks to the date in the PDCs and release the payment. But there are people or businesses utilizing PDCs to cheat people or businesses where the PDC are not followed-through which will have a negative cyclic shock. Because there will be a backend payment promised based on the PDCs. And it impacts the complete ecosystem. Here is a recent article on the subject -  https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonconstable/2019/02/26/multi-billion-dollar-debt-crisis-looms-for-dubai/ Agree, this is not just a Dubai problem as this can impact any city or country. Another recent perception changing post was on ...
