A proverb a day to brighten the day!

152a. Ich habe viel zu tun und bin noch weit weg.
152b. I have a lot to do and far to go.

One must remain fully focused to achieve anything or to reach place.
Chasing butterflies and soap bubbles on the path will defeat one's purpose.

Life offers too many distractions and makes one sway from one's chosen path.
Comparing the long time results with the immediate results will make the choice easier.

footnotes:
Ich = I
habe = have
viel = a lot
zu = to
tun = do
und = and
bin = am
noch weit weg = far to go

A proverb a day to brighten the day!

153a. Nur tote Fische schwimmen mit dem Strom.
153b. Only the dead fish swim with the stream.

Modern men especially the Law makers of many countries
have learned several survival techniques.

One of them is
"Go with the flow after closing your eyes,
and ears and after de-linking your brain."

When all the input and outputs are cut off,
the person in no better than a dead person!

The proverb rightly states that

"Only the dead fish swim with the stream while
the live ones swim they way they want to swim".

footnotes:-
Nur = Only
tote = dead
Fische = fish
schwimmen = swim
mit = with
dem = the
Strom = stream
 
ஆதி3த்ய ஹ்ருத3யம்

“நான் ஒரு சாதாரண மனிதன்” என்றே தன்னைப் பற்றிக் கூறிக்கொண்ட ஸ்ரீ ராமபிரானுக்கு; ராம ராவண யுத்தத்தைக் காண வந்த அகஸ்தியரால் உபதேசிக்கப் பட்டது இந்த ‘ஆதி3த்ய ஹ்ருத3யம்.’


“இது புண்ணியம் வாய்ந்தது. எல்லாப் பகைவர்களையும் அழிப்பது. வெற்றியை
அளிப்பது. மங்களம் நிறைந்தது. பாவங்களை நீக்குவது. கவலையும், துன்பத்தையும் போக்குவது. ஆயுளை வளர்ப்பது. மூன்று முறை இதை நீ ஜபித்தால் ராவணனை வெற்றி கொள்வாய்” என்று அகஸ்திய முனிவரால் ஸ்ரீ ராமனுக்கு அருளப்பட்டது.

ஆபத்துக் காலங்களிலும், மிகுந்த கஷ்டங்களிலும், பயம் ஏற்படும் சமயங்களிலும் இதை பக்தியுடன் ஓதினால் துன்பங்கள் விலகும். உள்ளத்தில் தைரியம் உண்டாகும். உடலில் புதிய சக்தி பிறக்கும். பயங்களும், கிரஹ பீடைகளும் கஷ்டங்களும் விலகி விடும். சகல சௌபாக்யங்களும் கிடைக்கும். கண் பார்வை நன்றாகத் தெரியும்.

ஸ்ரீ ராம ஜெயம்.

A proverb a day to brighten the day!

1584916896033.png


154a. Die Erde lacht in Blumen
154b. The Earth laughs in flowers.

Laughing Children give us immense happiness.
Blooming flowers give us immense happiness.

Plants and children have many things in common.
They both are among Nature's best gift to mankind.

Both grow everyday with the children learning new skills
and the plants putting out a new leaf, bud, flower, tendril!

It is the daily growth and the daily novelty that makes them so interesting.
The saying in Tamil is "nALoru mEni pozhuthoru vaNNam".

Plants grow in their Nursery, just like the kids do in their nursery.
Kids grow in their Kinder Garten - just as plants grow in their garden.

The wild flowers outside our house are in full bloom.
Their lovely colors and fragrance attract not just the humming birds but also men passing by!

Everyday people photograph the garden of flowers as they pass by.
They convey their appreciation - if see anyone of us make eye contact!

The rains water those plant and the Sun makes them grow.
But they give immense happiness to every onlooker. :)

Footnotes:-
Die = The
Erde = Earth
lacht = laughs
in = in
Blumen = flowers
 
A proverb a day to brighten the day!

155a. Raten ist nicht zwingen.
155b. Advice is not compulsion.

He who won't listen will have to learn by experience.
Experience is a costly school but fools will learn nowhere else.

Often Advising goes over board and ends in arm-wrenching when
the advisee chooses to ignore his advice and the adviser gets offended.

Suggestion works better than commanding or arm-wrenching.
There is no ego problem involved in giving one's suggestions.
If ignored, it is best to let the person learn it the hard way!

Footnotes:-
Raten = advice
ist = is
nicht = not
zwingen = compulsion
 
A proverb a day to brighten the day!

156a. Schande dem, der davon denkt.
156b. Shame on them who think badly about the others.

Character of a person is he really is and
Reputation is how he appears to the others.

footnotes:-
Schande = Shame on
dem = them
der = who
denkt = thinks
schlecht = badly
davon = about others
 
The Time has come when man realizes that he is just a small link in a long human chain.
He is just like a small drop of water in the ocean of humanity.
If he should keep well, then everyone else must keep well too.
He alone can't be well when everyone else is ill.
At the same time man is now scared of everyone else!
He is keeps at a safe distance when he has a conversation with anyone else.
Packets are left outside for a period of time and taken inside after cleaning with an alcohol swipe. Well! one can never be too careful in dealing with an invisible and (at present) invincible enemy!
 
A proverb a day to brighten the day!

157a. Man findet bald einen Stecken , wenn Man einen Hund schlagen will.
157b. One finds a stick soon, when one wants to thrash a dog.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Necessity makes us alert and awake.

We see things which we have never before registered seeing.
We find new uses for the stale and old things we happen to see.

siru thurumbum pal kuththa udhavum!
kONaik kazhiyum ENaikku udhavum!

footnotes:-
Man = One
findet = finds
einen Stecken = a stick

A proverb a day to brighten the day!

158a. Man kann die Natur nicht ändern.
158b. One cannot change one's nature.

As they say a leopard can't change its spots, nor a tiger its stripes.
One can't straighten the tail of a dog or a pig - however hard he tries!

Women spend a ton of money and time in straightening their curly/ wavy hair or in
trying to curl or get a wavy hair out of their straight hair by using hot irons and curlers!

So true nature can never be changed permanently.
How much easier life will become if only they accept this truth!

Footnotes:-
Man = One
kann = can
nicht = not
ändern = change
die = the
Natur = nature

The ONLY thing I have learned from History is that Man does not learn anything from History!
Man resists new ideas, new theories, now concepts, new methods and even new predictions.

A proverb a day to brighten the day!

159a. Man muss die Dinge nehmen, wie sie kommen.
159b. One must take the things as they come.

Beggars can't make special demands.
Beggars must be grateful for what they receive.

We are powerless while dealing with Fate.
We never were nor will ever become the Master of Fate.

So the best thing to do is accept the things as they come
and try to make a good bargain out of every bad offer we are given!

My Bengali friend used to say very often,
"Hope for the best and prepare for the worst!"

footnotes:-
Man = One
muss = must
nehmen = take / accept
die = the
Dinge things
wie = as
sie = they
kommen = come
 
Too much togetherness is totally scary!!!

I guess distance adds enchantment not just to our view but also to our relationships.
Too much of anything is too good for nothing! Very True! Never doubt this statement!

East or West Home is NOT the best now!
Domestic violence is on the increase everywhere!

The stronger spouse thrashes the weaker spouse
and of course all the helpless children in the house.

I was shocked to read an article by a doctor claiming that
Children face more dangers in their homes than in their schools.
Accidents of all kinds and abusing parents may even get some kids killed!

Some marriages can survive only .....:unsure:

1. If each partner has a separate bathroom (y)

2. If they are lucky and get separate beds in the same room :giggle:

3. If they are more lucky and get separate bedrooms ;)

4. The luckiest ones here have an open marriage! :eek:

I think the first option is A MUST for surviving without blowing a fuse! :sick:

The last option is unacceptable for old fashioned old Indians like me. (n)

Partners in crimes got caught together or
one after another very sooner.
Then they were hanged together.
Partners in Life and partners in death!

Mit = together
gefangen = caught

They might have recited as their wish
"unnAle naan kettEn ennAle nee kettE"
