மனதில் தோன்றிய எண்ணங்கள் 1906 to 1920.

1906. யாரெல்லாம் நம்மோடு இருப்பார்கள், விலகுவார்கள் என்று காலம் முடிவு செய்வதில்லை. அவரவர்களின் வார்த்தையும், நடத்தையும் தான் முடிவு செய்கிறது.


1907. வாய் தவறி விழும் பேச்சுக்கள். கை தவறி விழும் கண்ணாடியை விட கூர்மையானது. யாரிடம் பேசுகிறோம், என்ன பேசுகிறோம் என்பதை அறிந்து பேசுங்கள்.


1908. நிம்மதியுடன் வாழ்கிறேன் என எளிதில் சொல்லப்படுவதில்லை. வாழ்க்கை அவ்வளவு எளிதில் நிம்மதியை யாருக்கும் தந்து விடுவதில்லை.


1909. மற்றவர் தவறைக் கவனித்துக்கொண்டே இருப்பவர்கள். தன் தவறுகளை வளர்த்துக் கொண்டே இருக்கிறார்கள்.


1910. பணம் இருந்தால் நீங்கள் உயர்ந்தவன் குணம் இருந்தால் குப்பை . நடித்தால் நல்லவன். உண்மை பேசினால் பைத்தியக்காரன். அன்பு காட்டினால் ஏமாளி. எடுத்துச் சொன்னால் கோமாளி.


1911. இறைவன் தனக்குப் பிடித்தவர்களுக்கே பொறுப்புகளை கொடுத்து, சோதனைகளை ஏற்படுத்தி.

பக்குவத்தையும், நிதானத்தையும் தருகிறான்.


1912. நிலவை தூரத்தில் இருந்து ரசிப்பதை போல சில உறவுகளையும்  தூரத்திலிருந்து ரசிக்க கற்றுக்கொள்ள வேண்டும். வலிகள் இல்லாமல் இருக்கலாம்.


1913. தன்னுடைய செயலும், வார்த்தைகளும் மட்டும்தான் சரியன்று வாதாடுபவர்கள் மத்தியில் அமைதியை மட்டும் உங்கள் ஆயுதமாக வைத்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள்.


1914. சிந்தித்து செயல்படுங்கள். இதுவும் கடந்து போகும் அல்லது இதுவும் பழகி போகும்.


1915. நிலையென்று ஒன்றுமில்லை இவ்வுலகில். ஒவ்வொரு சோகமும், துன்பமும் வாழ்க்கையில் நல்ல பாடத்தை கற்று தரவே வருகின்றது.


1916. யாரும் உங்கள் கண்ணீரை, கவலைகளை, வலிகளை பார்ப்பதில்லை. ஆனால் எல்லோரும் உங்கள் தவறை மட்டும் பார்ப்பார்கள்.


1917. மனிதனும் வாழை மரமும் ஒன்று தான். தேவைப்படும் வரை வைத்திருப்பார்கள். தேவை முடிந்தவுடன் வெட்டி வீசி விடுவார்கள்.


1918. மழைத்துளியானது எப்படி சமுத்திரத்தை அடைகின்றதோ, அது போல எந்த தெய்வத்தை தொழுதாலும்  அது  கேசவனையே சேருகின்றது.


1919. ஒருவருடைய கடைசி காலத்தில் நிம்மதி இல்லாவிடில் பணம், புகழ், அதிகாரம் இருந்தும் பிரயோசனமில்லை.


1920. மனைவி என்ற பெண் உடன் இல்லையெனில், ஒரு ஆண் வெறும் ஜடமே. சாஸ்திர மரியாதை சிறிதும் கிடையாது.

TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE.

Two weeks ago, a person very close to me died all of a sudden. I was talking to her regularly. Now I cannot talk to her anymore. Her sudden demise has just shattered me. I am reminded of the unpredictability of life and the fragile nature of our human journey.


Her passing made me rethink and reshuffle my priorities, which I believed were set in order. It made me question,

- What truly matters in this fleeting life?

- Are our daily pursuits blinding us from what's genuinely precious?


As I grieve the loss of a beloved person, I request each one of you to take a moment to think. To introspect. To assess your priorities. We often get wrapped up in chasing our goals missing out on precious moments with loved ones, neglect our health, or lose touch with our true selves.


Even though I used to talk to her every day, I still feel I have not expressed my love enough. So, make time for your loved ones now, express love today, and cherish every ticking second.

BEWARE 70-79 YEARS OLD.

A 90 YEAR OLD FAMILY PHYSICIAN SAYS:


Elderly in 70-80 years bracket  are considered to be in in the MOST DANGEROUS ZONE 


To have a Long Life, the 10 years from 70 to 79 years are crucial!*


Health experts say there are around two health problems per month for people between the ages of 70 and 79. Surprisingly, the health status of the elderly aged 80-89 is as stable as the 60-69 age group!


70-79 years is a dangerous period. During this period, various organs decline rapidly. It is a frequent period of various geriatric diseases, and it is often prone to hyperlipemia, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes.


After entering the age of 80, these diseases will decline, and the mental and physical health may return to the level of 60-69 years olds!


Thus, the age of 70 to 79 years old is called the “dangerous age group”. As people grow older many people want to have a good healthy life. They realise that “Health is Wealth”.


The 10-year health care of 70 to 79 years olds is crucial.

HOW TO LIVE HAPPILY.

I have often thought about what makes people happy—what one has to do in order to achieve happiness.


1- First and foremost is good health. If you do not enjoy good health, you can never be happy. Any ailment, however trivial, will affect your happiness.


2- Second, a sufficient bank balance. It need not be in crores, but it should be enough to provide for comforts, for recreation, for eating out, for going to movies, for travel etc. Shortage of money can be demoralising. Living on credit or borrowing lowers one’s dignity.


3- Third, your own home. Rented places can never give you the comfort or security of a home that is yours. If it has garden space, all the better. Plant your own trees and flowers, see them grow and blossom, and cultivate a sense of belonging with them.


4- Fourth, an understanding companion, be it your spouse or a best friend. If you have too many misunderstandings, it robs you of your peace of mind. It is better to accept the differences than to be quarrelling all the time.


5- Fifth, stop envying those who have done better than you in life—risen higher, made more money, or earned more fame. Envy can be corroding; avoid comparing yourself with others.


6- Sixth, do not allow people to descend on you for gossip. By the time you get rid of them, you will feel exhausted and poisoned by their gossip-mongering.


7- Seventh, cultivate a hobby or two that will fulfill you—gardening, reading, writing, painting, playing or listening to music. It’s important to concentrate on something that keeps you occupied meaningfully.


8- Eighth, every morning and evening devote 20 minutes to meditation or introspection. In the mornings, 10 minutes should be spent listing the things you have to do that day.


9- Ninth, don’t lose your temper. Try not to be short-tempered, or vengeful. Even when a friend has been rude, just move on.


10- Above all, when the time comes to leave, one should go without any regret or grievance against anyone.

FOUR STAGES OF ELIMINATION IN LIFE:

At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you will return to being an ordinary person. So, don't cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!


At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don't say, "I used to be..." or "I was once..." because the younger generation won't know you, and you must not feel uncomfortable about it!


At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you will be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it's an expression of affection, so don't blame them for coming less often, as they're busy with their own lives!


At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don't be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!


Therefore, while your body is still capable, live life to the fullest! Read books, develop writing, listen to music, play games, eat what you like, see movies, stay healthy and do the things that you love.
