Stay Inspired

Life is not always what you think, it is different and we have to think out of the box to view it in a different way


Always being different and unique is the only key to a happy life.
I have found happiness in what i believe in doing because that is what i always want to do.
How many successful people think that it is always easy to find happiness and satisfaction in whatever you do !! ? because in life, we have very short period Of time To enjoy and appreciate things happening around us.
We youth likely Are achieving progress in the field we have always thought of ,by being creative
Life would be much more interesting when we start Changing the view or Aspects of Life.
But its also important that most of us lack that creative outbound and creativity dying within .So I have found something that will change the way I am looking at things in my own life
Recently i came across a blog where I read this post about an Important lesson that a philosophy professor taught his students

The professor cleared off his desk and placed on top of it a few items.
One of the items was an empty jar.
He proceeded to fill up the jar with golf balls until jar could take no more.
He looked at the classroom and asked his students if they agree that the jar is full. Every student agreed that the jar was indeed full.
then he picked up a box of small pebbles and poured them into the jar.
The pebbles filled all of the openings in between the golf balls.
He asked the students if the jar was full. Once again, they agreed.
Now he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into the jar.
The sand filled in all of the empty space left between the golf balls and pebbles. He asked the class again if the jar was full. The students agreed it was technically full.
Finally, the teacher pulled out two bottles of beer from his Desk and poured both of them into the jar filling the empty space between the sand.
Now the students began to laugh wondering how far this was going.
The teacher waited until the laughter stopped. "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life," ,
He started. "The golf balls represent the important things. Your family, children, health, friends, and passions. If everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles represent the other things in life that matter, such as your job, house and car. The sand---that is everything else.
The small stuff. If you put the sand in first, there is no room for the pebbles or golf balls.The same goes for life. If you spend all of your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are most important.
Pay attention to the important things in your life.
~~~~~~Enjoy time with family..
~~~~~~Go to dinner with your spouse.
~~~~~~ Play games with your kids.
There will ALWAYS be time to clean the house or Go for shopping.Later sometimes..
Take care of the golf balls first- the things that really matter.
The rest is just sand.
"Before the students left, one student asked."You never mentioned what the beer represents! "The professor smiled and said,
"Well I'm glad you asked.
The beer just shows you that no matter how Busy your life may seem, there's always room to have a beer with a good friend." :)
Offcourse The Best Part of Life ;) Agree ? This is how we must prioritize our life, that too this is a cool and interesting way Right ?
Who would have ever thought this way ! ? Not even Those Money Bags ( Businessmen who spend their life Not seeing their wife or kids for more than a year or So )

A pianist and His unrevealed Dreams

The time when I first decided to learn music, I was introduced to an aspiring,young & enthusiastic Pianist Mr.Mahan
We started chatting about who inspired us, and who we were listening to , at that time.
We shared similar tastes in music and though it was a nice conversation, when i mentioned that i had plans to study music full time in London school.
‘Why would you want to do that?’ he asked disapprovingly, followed by "That’s not something I would ever do" was not a receptive answer .
I was expecting an appreciation or something like that !
Not the reaction I was expecting.
As the conversation progressed a little, it became clear that he felt this way, Not for any sensible reasons such as the time and money I would have to spend up to my venture.
He believed ‘learning’ Piano was a bad thing and should be avoided.
He had strong opinions about this.
He believed that taking lessons was some-how cheating.
He believed that even the best contemporary music colleges churn out musicians that all sound the same.
He also believed that studying music would somehow destroy
some kind of musical magic from within,
well now i understand he was right.
Sometimes I recall that conversation with the aspiring pianist I met years ago and wonder if he still hold on to his beliefs Does he even play piano these days? Maybe I’ll meet him up one day and find out.
We all are uniquely talented, unquestionably, but speaking personally I would never have come anywhere near where i am now without the guidance of all those musical magicians I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from.
Whatever your interests and aspirations, your talents are just at the starting point. You have to nurture and develop them all by yourself. . .
