Existing Vs. Living Existing is for self, Living is for others. Existing is aspiring for standard of living, Living is aspiring for quality of living. Existing is yet another day, Living is "what a wonderful day" Existing is feeling  meaningless, Living is  feeling meaningful. Existing is turning the calendar, Living is filling the calendar with events. Existing is dying everyday, Living is thanking everyday. Existing is uninspiring, Living is Inspiring. Existing is being with people, Living is relating with people. Existing is a sense of struggle, Living is a sense of freedom. Every life is an output of love, feel the love in you, you will live, not Exist. Written By: M.L. Narendra Kumar⁠⁠⁠⁠

Goal said to vision " since you were not clear I couldn't play my role" Strategy said because of you guys, I couldn't think. Planning said " You guys  goof up in the top and we stand in the middle of the road as well get sandwiched from both top and the bottom. Execution said, Since you guys go aimless we go clueless. Finally our appraisal goes for a task and we are branded us demotivated bunch of  chickens who are referred to attend a motivation programs on a weekend. A building collapses when the foundation is weak whereas an organization collapses when the top management lacks a vision. Am I writing this to prove an organization wrong, if you think so, you got me wrong. We are like an organization,  our life Needs to be envisioned with a broader vision built with a clear goal sup...
Watch your watch I saw my boss wearing an expensive branded watch. I said " your watch is too good" He said " It's a  gift from my wife for my 10th wedding anniversary." I said " she has woderful taste" My boss smiled and said thank you After sometime I was reflecting upon his delayed meetings and reasons he gives for his wife for going late. All I understood is people value brands , but not other people's time. Written by : M.L.Narendra Kumar

Don't Harm yourself Don't harm yourself with your negative thoughts about yourself. Don't harm yourself with others opinion about yourself. Don't harm yourself with the thoughts of the past. Don't harm yourself with the fear of, what will happen in the future. Don't harm yourself with the thoughts of what is not under your control. Don't harm yourself by comparing yourself with others.

Why the hell should you compare? When you compare yourself with others you either feel inferior or superior. Feeling inferior reduces your self-esteem; Feeling superior increases your ego. When you compare yourself with others you either feel rich or poor. Feeling rich makes you arrogant, feeling poor make you worthless. When you compare yourself with others you either feel happy or unhappy Happiness is not the destination; peace is. When you compare yourself with others you either feel lucky or unlucky Luck is not in your hands, why should you depend on it. When you compare yourself with others you either feel Intelligent or stupid Intelligence is understanding, life is a continuous learning process, Stupidity does not understand the above When we all know we are unique in our own way, why should we fall prey to either superiority complex or inferiority complex. Realize the uniqueness in you and accept the uniqueness in others. Written by: M.L.Narendra K...
