  Stop Brooding, Start Living We’ve all come across people who dwell endlessly on the past—or perhaps we’ve been guilty of it ourselves. Sharing our feelings about the mistakes we made, the decisions we took, the opportunities we lost, and the people who cheated us… The list of things to brood over seems almost endless. But let’s pause for a moment and ask ourselves a few honest questions: Does brooding correct our past? Does brooding help us use our time effectively? Does brooding help anyone else in the process? Does brooding help us build a better future? The answer, in every case, is a firm  No —and a loud, clear  No . So if we know this truth, why do we still brood? Sometimes it feels like a strange sense of relief. But in reality, brooding only adds to our pain. It stifles our ability to solve problems and slowly erodes our capacity to think clearly. Is there a solution? Yes—and it lies with each of us, both individually and as a team. As indi...

  Less than a minute, Lesson-3114 Failure to Fail Those who fear failure and try nothing have nothing to learn and nothing to share. Failure to fail is the biggest failure. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD              

  The Day I Stopped Waiting for a Thumbs Up For over a decade now, I have been writing articles and sharing information first about India, and now about Southeast Asia. Every day, I post these write-ups in my WhatsApp group. It has become a quiet ritual. In the past, I compiled daily updates on India’s progress. One of my friends liked my work and asked for permission to share it in his own groups. I was genuinely happy and gave him the green light. A few months later, I met him at a gathering and asked whether he was still forwarding my write-ups. He said, "I did it for nearly a month, but no one responded. No one appreciated my posts. So I stopped." I didn't probe further. I didn't give him a lecture. I simply listened. But later, I found myself reflecting deeply:  What keeps me going, year after year? Whether I'm writing a quote, a story, an article, or a country profile — I rarely see thumbs-up emojis, likes, or words of appreciation. And yet, I cont...

Learning to Love Ourselves in a Busy World As humans, we all expect others to love us, take care of us, motivate us, and stand by us during difficult times. There’s nothing wrong with these expectations—they are natural human needs. But let’s also accept the truth: times are changing. People are not only hooked to their devices but are also fighting their own battles—both personally and professionally. In such times, we must realise that people might not be available to us, and we also might not be available to others, as each one of us has our battles to fight.  This idea might be uncomfortable to digest, but as the saying goes, truth is often bitter. Does that make us selfish? No, not at all. We do want to be there for others, but our own struggles and limitations don’t always allow us to show up when someone needs us. So how do we accept this truth and move forward? The answer lies in  self-care . Let’s learn how to take care of ourselves. Today, there are terabytes of info...

  The Lost Art of Living the Moment In the past, vacations were a rarity for many people due to financial constraints. Only those with extra disposable income had the privilege of traveling. Even among travelers, photography was far from easy. Those who owned a camera were very selective about taking pictures, mainly because of the high cost of film processing. Others relied on a local cameraman, who would snap an instant photo near a famous landmark. These precious prints were carefully preserved in family albums, proudly shown to guests, and each picture came with a long, joyful story about the fun they had. Today, the camera is no longer a luxury—it’s a built-in feature of every mobile phone. People take hundreds of photos without a second thought, using selfie sticks and tweaking settings to get the perfect shot. But something important has been lost in modern vacations: the act of truly living in the moment. We’ve become more interested in collecting memories than in exper...
