** UNIVERSITY OH UNIVERSITY **

" UNIVERSITY HERE I COME "


Most of us want to go to university but nearly all of us will have different reason for wanting it. Some wants to go into university purely just to gain knowledge and become wiser. Some wants to go there in order to have the glory and fame of telling others “I went to university to you know”. Some just follows the crowd and doesn’t want to be left behind; they just enroll to any course as long they are not left behind feeling lonely. Some struggles themselves into university even though they face financial problems as they see a university degree as a guarantee letter to change their family situation. In some peculiar cases they are forced into university by their parents. The list of reasons doesn't stop here but it goes on and on and on......

No matter what is the reason you are going to university or already in it, but one thing for sure more learning takes place when the classes are over rather than during the class time. What do you mean by learning when the classes are over you might ask. Well you learn from the experiences you share with your friends, the knowledge exchanged with your fellow classmates, the experiences created together with them and many more.

If you say that I’m in there to study and I’m not going to do anything else and learn anything else, trust me it won’t happen. At the time of learning you might not realize the lesson which is learned on that day through your friend or the impact or change they have left behind in your life but one day in your life you will look back smiling and thanking them for what they have done. You might think I’m not special so how can I can leave an impact on others, well that is the mistake that many make. It is not how big the impact is but how much it has affected another person. No one can preplan to leave an impact on others it just happens, what seems trivial to you might be imperative to others. This is because it is not always necessary for someone to go through a situation personally for them to gain experience about it but at some times we can learn from other people’s experience.

Yes, the grades are important that I agree 100% but learning in university doesn’t constitute of your degree subjects alone; it also consist of lessons of life. Take advantage the opportunity to learn from others as each one of us carries around with us lessons of life each different from another. What seems trivial for you might be imperative to others and what seems imperative to you might look trivial to others. If you manage to enrich yourself and equip yourself with the lessons of life as well thrive in your studies then you have fully taken advantage of what the university can give you. If not you will not know what you are missing until you have left the university. So, go out there and learn as much as possible and come out of university not only as a learned man but a man of wisdom who knows the lessons of life. Cautious that you might get hurt while learning the lessons of life and you might even face failures but take them as lessons of life too. I wish you all the best, go out there and explore your university life.

"Take charge of what you make out of your university life,
After all it is your LIFE ! "

** OAR or BED **



"What are you crapping about?" I know that majority of you who are reading this will have that question running in your mind. Don't worry, I'm still sane, so go on reading before deciding whether it is a piece of crap or a piece of treasure.


This is basically a valuable knowledge that I obtained from my company training. So, I would like to share it with all so I'm posting it here. So, I'm not the owner of this idea it is just a piece of information that I learned from a training session provided by Action Coach to the newcomers of the company. So the idea is solely theirs.


To cut things short 'OAR' and 'BED' is basically abreviations each representing three type of attitude which could be adapted in life. If you adapt OAR then you can row your boat of life to any destination or direction you like. And if you decide to adapt BED then you can sleep through out your life without any progress or change till heaven calls.


So again the choice is yours, some think it is possible for them to change from BED to OAR. But we still have some who think it is impossible and there is no use. I can help you to identify the medicine for your ailment but I can force you to drink it. So I'm sharing it with you but I can't force you to change it is up to your perception I would say.


O - Ownership
A - Accountability
R - Responsibility

OAR Explanation:

Take ownership on what ever you do, let it be just a normal routine or a task that will change your whole life. Make sure that you are accountable to all the incidents or changes that occur in your life do not make others be accountable to what occurs in your life. It is your life so you are responsible to either build it to great heights or destroy it. If you already do then you already rowing your own life boat to your desired destination.


B - Blame
E - Excuses
D - Denial


BED Explanation:

If you blame others for what ever incident that occurs in your life, let it be small or big then you are in this category. If you want to win you should stop giving excuses for shortcomings and start taking the responsibility for the shortcomings and change the factors leading to this shortcomings. Are you living in Denial and not accepting the situation which you are currently are eventhough it is crystal clear to all? If you are commiting all the above actions then you are still sleeping in your sweet bed.


Now it is up to you to grab the oar. Once you grab the OAR then you can start rowing your boat to your desired destination. But if you decide to sleep then no one can wake you; as you deny to be awaken.




THE CHOICE IS YOURS !! IT IS YOUR LIFE !

** YOUR VIEW **


" WHAT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MIRROR? "


Many people worry what others see them as or what others think about them. Rarely people review what they think about themselves. Some understands and recovers the importance of their view half way their life; but some lives till their last day just worrying what others think about them rather than what they think about themselves.


"What does it matter what i think about myself? It doesn't change anything!"


This question might be rolling in your head now but trust me what you think about yourself does matter and it matters a lot. If you think it doesn't change anything well you are wrong, it does matter and you just need to see it in the right perspective.


If one sees himself as a total failure then he adapts the mind set that what ever he does, he will fail. A person who perceives himself as such will even fail doing an easy task. Why does this happen? Simply because he believed that he will fail and concentrated or worried more about failing then making the task a success.

Meanwhile compare the situation of a person who sees himself as a winner. Even if you hit him with the most hard task which people think it is impossible. He will work on it until he succeeds, not to prove to others but to prove to himself that he is a winner. He puts his mind on to the task with concentration to succeed in it, so he doesn't stop he has succeeded.

You can say that I'm crapping and this is not true, but many who has tried changing their own mindset on how they view themselves has seen the result. It is not about just saying that I see myself in a positive light. You must believe in it and act accordingly then only you will see the effect. I'm not telling the impact is instant but it does occur but depends on your confidence on what you perceive yourself as and your acts as well. If you don't trust just give it a try but make sure you try it with full confidence and wait patiently for the results, sometimes you won't notice the difference until others point it out to you. Just try it, if it doesn't work it did not cost you a thing but if it works for you than you just changed how your whole life will be.


Lastly if you think and see yourself as a failure, a failure you will be. If you see yourself as a winner then a winner you will be.

***** "Oh 14th of February" ******

"VALENTINE'S DAY "

14th of February, year in and year out this date comes into picture. I think all of us knows what the day represents. Just to ensure that you don't get confuse let me tell you what is already clear to the sight of millions, 14/2 it is "VALENTINES' DAY". Yes it is the much waited day by the couples through out the year.


Why do people wait for this day? Well many feels that this is the appropriate day to show their love. People waste their 364 days in a year waiting to shower love towards their love one on this day. Do you think this is right to show someone your love only on this day and again turn on your cold shoulder the next day? And wait for another 364 days to be showered with love? No, I don't think this is right.


Yes, valentines' day is special as it reminds many the power and spirit of love. It makes people take special efforts which they would not dream of doing on a normal day in order to make the love one happy. But if the feeling is just for one day then it is not worth it. Let yourself immense yourself into the real meaning of love, that is why valentines' day exist to remind us the meaning of love. To bring us back ashore to our family and passion if we have drifted to far away chasing after physical wealth.


If you really understand and live your life cherishing your love ones day in and day out, then everyday is valentines day for you. But if you think that only on 14/2 you want to shower the special people in your life with love then even on that day it is not valentines' day for you.


Remember love is internal and not external. A whisper of "I Love you" at the right time to your love one can replace thousands of bouquet of roses. A whisper of "I trust you" at the moment of crisis can replace thousand sets of jewelry you can buy her. You standing by her side at the moment of grief and failure while saying "We'll make it through" can replace every single luxury that you can give her.

** LOVE **



There are many who died for love,
There are many who lived for love,
There are lives build because of love,
There are lives destroyed by love,


There are tears caused by love,
There are laughter caused by love,
There are success invoked by love,
There are failures due to love,


There are wars caused by love,
There is still peace due to love,
At times the poison is love,
At times the remedy is love,


A powerful and mystical word is love,
The never ending tale of live is love,
If you want to understand what is love,
Then let yourself to be swept away by love.
