Respecting People of All Ages

We encounter many situations in our life. Everything is very real to the person who encounters such situations. What is true to one person may appear rubbish or wrong to the other. As we grow, we feel affected by the certain things happening to us. For example, "feeling loved" is a very real and genuine emotion for a young person. "Love" and "Breakup" are very important events in one's young years but this all may be stupid in the eyes of a middle aged or an old person. As we see in real life as well as in movies, fathers mostly dislike their young boy or girl admitting a relationship.

Balanced Success and Failure

Success doesn't come easily, for sure. "Success has many parents but failure is an orphan." This is a famous quote by Gian Galeazzo Ciano, 2nd Count of Cortellazzo and Buccari.

For example, you were trying to book flight tickets online but couldn't, then this will not take your confidence out of you. However, if you are doing something important then its final outcome will surely shake you from your feet. For example, you were preparing for Indian Administrative Services (IAS) e

Our Daily Consolation Prize

In many of the competitions, be it sports, cultural etc, there are mostly 3 categories of prizes-1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Is there any more? Yes, many a times, there is a consolation prize also. It is for those whose performance was not among the best but was not bad either. It is a type of motivation to someone who couldn't win but had all the qualities to be a winner. Why I began with this simple observation? Coming to the point, we all are regular users of social media apps like Whatsapp, Instagram etc. I never fail to check messages on my Whatsapp. Most of us start our day by sending and reading "Good Morning" messages. Most of these messages are motivational types which carry the idea of "Think Good, Do Good", "You Can Do  It." If you are a regular Whatsapp user, you might be receiving 5-10 such messages daily. Sometimes we forward the messages to others also. These lovely, inspirational messages adorn the gallery of your handset. You read the mess
