  I am Happy I am happy I am happy Not because of a hefty bank balance, But because I am balanced within. I am happy I am happy Not because of what I receive, But because of what I give. I am happy I am happy Not because of my success, But because of how I face my failures. I am happy I am happy Not because of my fame, But because of what I brought to the table. I am happy I am happy Not because of the profits I made, But because of the profits I shared. I am happy I am happy Not because of the fun I had, But because of the fun I shared. I am happy I am happy Not because of the wealth I created, But because of the means by which I created. I am happy I am happy Not because of what I have, But because of what I give. I am happy I am happy Not because of my mood, But because of my eternal state of mind. Let's be happy Let's be happy Not because of others' unhappiness, But because we create happiness for others. We don't ...

  The Gatekeeper within When you open the door to pessimism, hope finds its way out. When you open the door to hatred, love finds its way out. When you open the door to greed, peace finds its way out. When you open the door to jealousy, relationships find their way out. When you open the door to enmity, friendship finds its way out. When you open the door to toxic people, kind-hearted people find their way out. When you open the door to ego, humility finds its way out. When you open the door to laziness, activeness finds its way out. When you open the door to worries, happiness finds its way out. The door is the mind. We alone hold the key to open and close it. Our attitude is the gatekeeper that decides who—or what—may enter. M.L.Narendra Kumar      

  Why Easy Comes at a Cost When someone makes your life easy, without realising it, they are also making you lazy. What comes easily sometimes comes with a cost—whether direct or indirect. But remember, when something is made easy, there is always something we lose in return. For example, it is convenient to order food through an app, but that meal comes with an extra cost, and in the long run, it adds extra fat around your waist. There are also instances where easy success does not last. The world has seen businesses that experienced early success but eventually shut down. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Mr. Kabir Mulchandani built the Akai brand in India by offering huge discounts. While it was attractive and brought him early success, his shortcut did not last. He became entangled in many legal cases and was a prominent news figure in 2000—but later, for all the wrong reasons. Success without ethics is like a bright light in the sky—it may seem attractive, but it can also be...

  Do You Really Listen to Feedback—or Just Tune It Out? Most of us are picky about whose advice we take. We lean in when trusted friends or family speak, but brush off everyone else—because, let’s face it, we assume they don’t “get” us. It feels safer that way. But in that safe space, we may be missing something far more valuable than comfort. When we shut out feedback, we also shut the door on: ·        A mirror to see how others truly experience us ·        Hidden strengths we underestimate ·        Blind spots we don’t even know we have ·        Clarity on what’s worth changing ·        A roadmap to the benefits that change can bring ·        And, perhaps most importantly—the unvarnished truth about who we are Let’s be honest: feedback can sting. It can feel like criticism wrapped in ...

  The Ink of Peace: From Global Politics to Inner Harmony When we hear the word treaty , our minds often drift to grand halls filled with diplomats, fountain pens, and stacks of parchment. We picture nations shaking hands over documents that promise to curb missiles, open trade routes, or protect the oceans. A treaty, in theory, is a sacred contract—a mutual promise where signatories agree to act in good faith, bringing the words on the page to life. But theory and reality don’t always align. Sometimes, a treaty is little more than a beautiful piece of paper. The ink dries, but the bombs keep falling; the signature is fresh, but the territorial lines remain blurred. Take the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the South China Sea Arbitration. Despite a clear legal framework designed to settle maritime disputes, the waters remain troubled, and the discord between China and the Philippines continues to ripple outward. The treaty exists, but its spirit rem...

  The Millionaire Mindset: Why Wealth Isn't Stored in Your Bank Account There are two kinds of people in this world. The first group may not have a fortune in the bank, but they possess an inner richness that money can't buy. The second group may have overflowing bank accounts, yet they are spiritually and emotionally impoverished. What truly separates these two groups isn't their net worth—it's their attitude . The poor in mind live in a state of quiet desperation. Their lives are driven by undefined needs, a constant fear of loss, and a frantic chase for money without any real purpose. They accumulate wealth like a shield against the world, but gratitude is rarely found in their vocabulary. In contrast, the rich-in-mind move through life with quiet courage. They have clarity about what they truly need, the resilience to bounce back from failure, and a deep sense of purpose that guides their decisions. Above all, they practice gratitude—not as an afterthought, ...
