Some immortal lessons you can use from the Bhagavad Gita

1. Liberation does not mean that one should renounce the world. By performing one's worldly duties, one can attain true liberation.

2. Our soul is immortal. Even after our death, our soul lives, it just changes bodies.

3. One should not get caught in the web of desires. A desire sometimes triggers one to perform an unkind action, so it's best to witness the world dispassionately. Desires would simply come and go.

4. One has the right to work, but never to the fruits of work. One should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should one long for inaction.

5. When one's mind dwells on the objects of senses, fondness for them grows, from fondness comes desire, from desire anger. Anger leads to bewilderment, bewilderment to loss of memory of true self, and by that, intelligence is destroyed, and with the destruction of intelligence one perishes.

6. What belongs to you today, belonged to someone yesterday and will be someone else's tomorrow.

7. We came in this world empty-handed and we will go from this world empty-handed. Wealth, relationships, position, respect, valuables - everything will be left here.

8. Whatever has happened is good, whatever is happening is good and whatever will happen, will be good. One's life is in the hands of the creator and one should never lose faith in the creator.

9. Selfishness clouds one's wisdom. When self-interest is put aside, clarity prevails in the mind.

10. The supreme force dwells within you. You are God and God is you.

TRAIN YOUR MIND TO BE CALM IN EVERY SITUATION

Great leaders always seem to remain calm, during situations that make mere mortals fall to pieces. Conventional wisdom says that the ability to remain calm is a character trait that most of us lack. Neuroscience, however, has recently revealed that remaining calm under pressure is not an inborn trait, but a skill that anybody can learn. Here's how it's done ⤵ ● [ Understand the biochemistry. ] The opposite of remaining calm is the state of "fight or flight," a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. The reaction starts when two segments of your brain called the amygdalae interpret a situation as a threat. This perception causes your brain to secrete hormones that tell your nervous system to prepare your body to take drastic action. Your breath gets short, your body floods your muscles with blood, your peripheral vision goes away, and so forth. Since neither fig

7 Things to Do Before Starting Any Project

Gauge the scope of the project The scope of the project is the first thing that has to be ascertained. What is the overall aim of the project? What are you looking to achieve? Once you know what the scope of the project will be, a plan can be devised. However, you should be aware that the scope can change throughout the project as different stakeholders ask for more to be included in the final deliverable, so the system must remain flexible. Set the success criteria How is the success of the project going to be defined? By the quality of the finished work? By the amount of money it costs? By the length of time taken to complete it? Whatever the factors for success are, they must be measurable and aligned to the objectives of the key stakeholders – in this way, the Key Performance Indicators can be defined. Identify major risks Try and work out what the major risks to the project are before you begin. Where are the most likely points that things will go wro

Why We Say What We Won't Do (but Still Say It Anyway)- The Bigest problem of us.

Every day we say a lot about what we want and will do. “I want to pet a cat.” “I want to buy a house for my parents.” “I don’t want to be single anymore.” “I will love you no matter what.” “I will work harder in the future.” It’s easy to make plans for the future. And we make resolutions all the time. Consider that a full 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February.1 And that a vast majority of relationships (plus many marriages) end as well with break-ups or divorce. The best intentions and the best-laid plans generally speaking end in failure. No one intended to lie In general, people make these kinds of promises or resolutions with the best intentions. They don’t want to fail; if anything, they want desperately to be right, to improve themselves, and to make their friends and family happy. So even if a resolution doesn’t work out, when they utter them, it’s far from a lie. People often speak without thinking. They say what comes to mind, bu
