Meaning of life

You treasure some books throughout your life as they give you varied flavors as you read them for a second time or more. “Mans search for meaning” by Mr. Victor Frankl is one such book which offers you a much deeper advice every time you read it. The author tells us how he along with few others survived in Nazi concentration camps. He says that the people who survived in those camps still had something significant to do in their future and they believed in it also. He believes that people who can envision their future and can discover the meaning of their life will be future heroes and will survive the test. He gives it a scientific name called logotherapy. In these times when people are loosing jobs, coming under tremendous pressure and taking their life’s perhaps should take a cue from his life. Rather than belittling ourselves we should analyze ourselves and search for new meaning in his/her life. This is the time when you can think of pursuing your hobbies or can think of implementing a crazy idea! Who knows what might click!

When Going gets tough

I am writing this post because i feel that in everyone's life there comes a time when he/she feels that all the odds are against him. This is the time when your patience and your ability to fight back is tested. We should probably take cue from the life of those who have prooved themselves in such situations and should not stop. Following are few examples:-

1. The legendry " Beatles" who were turned down by many recording companies before Capitol took them as their clients. Their music has touched many.

2. "Albert Einstein" did not speak until he was four yeards old, and did not read until he was seven. His teacher described him as mentally slow but he still changed our perception of the universe.

3. " Abraham Lincoln" lost nine public elections, declared bankruptcy twice, weathered a nervous breakdown and the death of a fiance before he was elected for presidency.

4. Thomas Elva Edison tried a thousand difference materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none of them worked our his assistant complained, "All your work is in vain. we have learned nothing" To this Edison replied confidently, " Oh we have come a long way and we have learnt a lot. We now know that there are a thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb"

5. Walt disney was fired by a newspaper editor for his lack of ideas. He also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.

6. Colonel Sanders proposal to franchise his gradma's recipe was rejected several times before it lead to the creation of Kentucky Fried Chicken popularly known as KFC.

Well if these people can do wonders and can achieve what they wanted to achieve why cannot we?
