Words of Wisdom―Challenges for Aged Parents in India




“Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.” —Confucius


When children undermine the father in front of their mother constantly, there will be a rift between mother and father. When children undermine the mother in front of their father, there will be a rift between mother and father. Such constant acts create a gap between parents in the long run. In some cases, they pave the way for parents to go for divorce. Therefore, it is the responsibility of children not to create any rift between parents. They must empathize with their parents and underscore the sacrifices made by the father in front mother and that of the mother in front of the father. In Indian society, parents expect their children to take care of them in their old age since there are no social security measures for parents in old age. In the current scenario, there is no such scope for children to take care of old parents as they migrate to other places for their survival and success. It is a great challenge in the present society, especially in Indian society. It needs to be addressed earnestly to ensure the safety, security, and dignity of aged parents.

Children realize the challenges of parents when they reach their old age. By the time it is too late as parents are no more in this world.


“I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.” —Maya Angelou

Words of Wisdom―Reinvent Yourself if You were Born in a Toxic Family




“The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.” —Jim Morrison


Being born in a good family or a bad family is not in your hands. It is your karma. If you were born in a toxic family, you don’t have to regret it because you have an option to evolve as a healthy individual. Instead of blaming your toxic family, develop a positive attitude to lead a healthy life, and set an example for others to follow. Similarly, being born in a rich or a poor family is not in your hands. It is your karma. What is in your hands is to work smart to become rich. If you end up poor in life, that is your mistake, not your parents’ mistake. The conclusion is that your life is in your hands. You can become the way you want to become. You have a choice. Remember that the lotus comes from the mud. Similarly, some of the great people came out from the mud of toxic families. They showed the light to the world, guided the world, and left this world as legends. Life is great.


"Man has three friends on whose company he relies. First, wealth which goes with him only while good fortune lasts. Second, his relatives; they go only as far as the grave, leave him there. The third friend, his good deeds, go with him beyond the grave." —The Talmud

Words of Wisdom―What is Your Strategy for Life?




“If I have 300 ideas in a year and just one turns out to work, I am satisfied.” —Alfred Nobel


Most people don’t have any strategy for their life. They lead their life the way it goes. They don’t plan well to proceed forward. Some people plan well and proceed but fail to sustain when encountered with frequent failures.  A few people draw a strategy, execute it effectively, and succeed ultimately. In this regard, we will discuss drawing a strategy to lead your life with purpose and meaning.  


A Blueprint to Your Life Strategy

“Strategy is about setting yourself apart from the competition. It’s not a matter of being better at what you do – it’s a matter of being different at what you do.” —Michael Porter

When you look at most Nobel Laureates, they owe their successes to their teachers, mentors, and coaches in their early life. They followed their teachers religiously, focused in niche areas, worked hard relentlessly, and achieved success finally. This is a long-term strategy. In contrast, most people avoid niche areas and imitate others to achieve popularity. They hardly realize that popularity is a passing cloud. This is a short-term strategy. The people with a long-term strategy and execution stand out beyond their lifetime whereas the people with a short-term strategy earn accolades and fame but fade away in their lifetime. Seth Godin rightly remarked, “Fitting in is a short-term strategy, standing out pays off in the long run.” Therefore, you must draw your strategy and leadership philosophy the way you would like to be remembered.  


Conclusion

“I believe that people make their own luck by great preparation and good strategy.” —Jack Canfield

When you want to stand out in the long run, you must enter into a niche area and work on them relentlessly. You may either get a Nobel Prize or become an unsung hero/heroine. On the other hand, when you enter into general areas without focusing on niche areas, you may enjoy short-term popularity which is like a passing cloud. You may not be able to live beyond your lifetime. To conclude, there is nothing like a fixed strategy to achieve success in your life. It all depends on your mindset, principles, and philosophies.


“A vision and strategy aren’t enough. The long-term key to success is execution. each day. Every day.” —Richard M. Kovacevich
