return gift in birthday 😂party justifieffjustifief

 For every child birthday celebration is occasion to look forward to. At every age children have something special which they love to eat,example pizza, potato chips, cup cakes are their favourite estables. These eatables have hardly any nutritions in them.

It's ok to give children some special experiences at their birthday party. But over emphasizing on material gift or return gift do not add any new experience to children who have come to party for fun. 

Looking back at that landfill of plastic return gifts,- only things that stand out is children play with them for while and those return gifts become garbage

Moral of story is friends for children birthday party is for fun and let us not decrease its fun part by adding return gift.

Is it wrong to do Nine-Five(9-5 ) Job

 

My friend satish is in 9-5 job. His salary is pretty good. He is happy with his job. 

Satish's brother Akash work in MNC company which does not follow 9-5 timings. Akash earns much more than Satish. 

Satish has big family to support and he does not want to take risk by changing his job. There are many people like Satish who are trapped in big family problems regarding money etc. So they look for constant income per month and with this philosophy they run their complicated family peacefully. 

Akash is unmarried person. He can take risks regarding his earning. Therefore Akash keep hoping his job and try to fetch maximum money as his salary. 

Now question arises what's wrong in being an average man and leading a peaceful life with 9-5 job. Some time taking risk to become a big industrialist can put one in odd circumstances. 

Problem is not there if one wishes to achieve higher goals. Problem lies if one does not respect persons doing 9-5 job. 

One should remember there is possibility one is earning much higher than average man but he is still unhappy. This is situation which one should take care before criticising persons doing 9-5 job and are leading peaceful life. 

Moral of story is one should focus on living peaceful happy life, may it is 9-5 job Or other job.

Why in Society people in General are not Happy

 

Other day I was talking to my senior teacher  Mr. Nandi.

Mr. Nandi is motivational speaker.He told me why people in general seem to be unhappy.

His submissions were following.

In society people don’t believe in simple life.People believe in spending extra money in activities which are not very useful in life. Because of all these activities there is lot of pretension in every ones life.Therefore people are unhappy.Due to mobile phone, there is so much interference in everybody’s life.Therefore people are disappointed.

In India there were never so much money was spent in celebrating birthdays of children. Now along with birthday celebration people spend so much money in gifts also.That creates tension among families.

Because  of science and technology advancement world has become very small. Carona virus  also taught us hoarding money also sometime do not help anyone.But attraction toward money has not decreased in world.

Moral of story is -best is to lead simple life.Be God fearing.Follow your passion to get peaceful life.Please remain away from pump and show in ones life. Enjoy ones life.

Women are Different

 

My friend Ankita had arrange marriage.She got married in good joint family. Before marriage Ankita's Husband Bittoo, a nice gentlemen man never discussed any thing about finances.He could never realize finances are  finances for both Ankita and Bittoo. That little mistake in planning of finances made Ankita adjustment to family little difficult

When one get married, one share more than just ones love and ones life with ones partner. One also share ones money and ones debts. And that can be a source of joy or a source of trouble depending on how one handles it.

 Money is one of the most common causes of stress and conflict in marriages, especially if one has different financial goals, habits, and values than your partner. That’s why it’s important to talk about money before one get married . How much do one earn? How much one spend? How much do one owe? What are ones financial priorities? What are ones financial dreams? How will one manage ones money as a couple?  How will one deal with unexpected expenses? These are some of the questions that one should discuss with ones partner before one get married and continue to discuss throughout ones marriage.

Friends  please do remember women are not men in skirts. They are different from men in many ways, and that’s what makes them amazing and fascinating. 

Women have different needs, different emotions, different ways of thinking and communicating than men. Every one has to learn from women and grow with them.One has to be their partners, not her competitors , not her enemy. All family members have to make effort to make daughter in law comfortable in family.

Modern vs Ancient Generation

 

In school students always compare different aspect of ancient generation and modern generations.So this Saturday in school during co curricular activity class we discussed the same and our submissions were following.

There is not always an objective answer to this question.The concept of value varies from person to person, from era to era, and from culture to culture. When comparing ancient and modern generations, we need to consider different perspectives and criteria.When we discussed the quantity and quality of learning and knowledge.We found the following :

Opinion of house was modern generation has access to far more information and education than the ancient generation. The Internet and technology have enabled us to learn about many different disciplines and cultures from all over the world. In addition, modern science and medicine are more advanced than those in ancient times contributing to our health issues.

The house was also of opinion that the ancient generation lived a simpler and more natural life than the modern generation. They valued their culture and traditions and lived in harmony with their community and environment. They also had their own faith and philosophy and found meaning and purpose in life.

Friends we each of us have our strengths and weaknesses. We can respect and learn from each other. We can learn from our past and evolve for the future. We are each valuable human beings. The best approach is to take best possible good values and knowledge from ancient as well as modern generation.

Benefit of Interacting People Coming From Different Background

 n school, the intellectual levels of all students are different.In a family, the husband, wife, and children have different intellectual levels.In jobs, the intellectual level of ones boss, colleagues and subordinates are different.In society, the intellectual levels of ones neighbour may be quite different from other.

I had friend Radha in school.She was my fried whom I used to appreciate for her humble nature.Once our teacher assigned us project.Radha  told me that you please come over to my house we will do together.I went to Radha’s house.unfortunately Radha’s mother was not well.My self and Radha sat in separate room to discuss our project work.As luck would have it Radha’s father’s friends came to their house.Radha’s brother came and requested Radha to prepare  tea.Myself and Radha prepared tea but Radha’s brother did not do so.It was such a big education for me.In some houses there is division of labour according to gender.I did not have this rule in my house ,so it was a big surprise for me.

We always benefit when we deal with people of different thoughts, opinions and intellectual levels, because we can always learn from others.Visit to Radha’s house made me humble while helping my mother in kitchen.

On the contrary, if one live with people of similar thoughts and opinions, ones life becomes boring and one learn nothing.

We can learn so many things even from little children.Little children never lie.They respect everyone who so ever visit them.They have no double character.Telling story to children is great fun.They ask very relevant thought provoking questions.

If you are really an intellectual, enjoy interacting with people of different thoughts, beliefs and intelligence, learn from each one of them, and enjoy your life fully.
