Life's Golden Lessons: What Are the Key Takeaways for Success and Avoiding Pitfalls?

Dear All,

Here is a presentation highlighting the golden lessons one can learn to make life successful and avoid pitfalls.

Best wishes,

Adesh, good post but can you clarify the following two points, as they seem to have negative connotations.

- Second lesson: `Fortune can be retained by force`.
- Fifth Lesson: `Leper has poison in the blood`.

[I fully agree with you. In fact, I feel the poster himself has not gone through what he has posted; but posted it just for the sake of posting. The fifth lesson is really OBNOXIOUS; and promotes hatred. If somebody intends to, then he can haul adesh5 to court for promoting hatred for the sick. People should refrain from posting any PPT they fancy; and remember that we live in a civil country and during civil times, and not in the Middle Ages.]

Dear Raj Chopra, Rajmelkan, Raj Kumar, Sher and Yours,

Thanks for commenting. "By force" here means that one has to be proactive and cannot take opportunities for granted. These lessons are from a life-changing 'Magic Story' which created a sensation when it first appeared more than a century back. To understand the words, context, and the perception, it will be worthwhile to go through this short story. It is excellent and can be used as an effective tool to motivate oneself and others.

Thanks once again.

Adesh

As I thought, none of those who commented above has understood what is conveyed. If fortune is elusive, how can it be retained with force? The next line on the same slide sounds completely STRANGE! The third lesson: The first 2 lines make sense. What about the rest? The fourth is a translation of an Indian proverb. The fifth: Only if you are well versed with the Bible (Old Testament - Moses), you can catch the meaning. Altogether, the lesson is POISONOUS. The sixth is a lesson for LKG; UKG has already learned it. Note: I doubt these lessons are supplied by some Jews. The big seventh lesson I learned from this post is: Simplicity is the BEST way to convey your thought!! Am I correct, Mr. Rajmelkan, Raj Kumar, and Yours'?

So, you say that this was a big sensation when it appeared (where? by whom? when?) a century ago! Do your own words make any sense to you, dear?!

The Ishmaelite and the Leper are the same. Have you ever read the psychology of these both characters? If not, then go and study it. It will be easy for you to understand these words. Why has this been commented? I know both types of people. GLASS IS HALF FILLED, OR IT IS HALF EMPTY.

WE ALWAYS ADDRESS AS LADY: she ship, she country, she... especially in Western countries. So is lady luck to forsake the stronger man.
