Cicero's Six Mistakes of Man


I wanted to track how I am performing with these six mistakes. Let me see
how I do through this week starting today.

1. The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushing others

2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or
corrected

3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it

4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences

5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind and not acquiring
the habit of reading and studying

6. Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live as we do.

Sssstay on.

I was about to give up something. But am I not being tested for something ?
If I give up, it is the real failure.
But let me stick on to it.
I think differently, usefully, caringly. That is yet to be recognized.
Let me give the flower time to bloom.
I am known as a loving, caring personality. Let me not give up.

Life - my choice

I can leave in peace if I choose to live as below -

* Love Unconditionally : Inspite of knowing that a dear one lives
his/her style the way we didn't prefer.
* Acknowledging limits of others : Acknowledging limits of others and
appreciating that everything has its own beauty.
* Not complaining : Why to complain for everything that falls short ?
People accepted me though I was a bag of limitations.

Life is not a string with tension at both the ends. Now, It's a bed made of
silk.

Senseless work

It is absolutely senseless
* To expect people to behave the way we wanted.
* To expect people to hold the same beliefs as ours.
* To expect people to do all that we like to have.

People have different beliefs. These beliefs have certain representations.
The awareness of these representations change people state. If one intends
to change the state, one has to change beliefs first.
But its absolutely none of my business to keep changing people's beliefs, as
and when I like.

Not in mood today

After spending a great weekend at home, I am not in great mood today, this
Monday.
I m having a mixed feeling.
