Evolution is better than revolution . Do not make sudden changes in anything , particularly in food . Let the change be gradual .The System should accommodate it without any hitch ."Natura non facil saltum"( nature never moves by leaps )- Swami Sivananda .

There is a saying that any advice given to people who cannot understand
only makes them to get anger and does not make them pacified, similar
to feeding a snake with milk.

"Don't let the cups matter... Enjoy the coffee instead"

From my email archive

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.



Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.



When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.



Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change.


Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

Pls. don't let the cups matter... Enjoy the coffee instead.

When one determines a goal, should have a clear idea about its
materialisation and then decide the gestation period rather than
getting frustrated by fixing unimaginable period.

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams. “VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF IT’s VALUE IS VALUED”

"In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment." - Darwin
Note : I wish to add that many people have mistook Darwin for propounding the theory of survival of the fittest .No doubt he did that but what he meant by fit was not the strong ones but those who are willing to adapt and change to the new environment are considered as fit and not necessarily the strong ones are fit .

Sometimes surrounding environment and circumstances may try to overpower us
but one has to be careful from being ruled by that absolutely and fall under the
pressure.
