Why do people Betray?

One of the bitter experience in life is being betrayed. Betrayal is serious because it destroys trust, and without trust there can be no relationships. Without trust, society families, institutions, and most certainly a marriage cannot function. Betrayal shakes a person to his core because it rupture his ability to trust. What causes people to betray the trust that has been placed in them? There could be three reasons. The first is excessive ambition, greed, lust or passion. When a person cannot control is overcome with three vices, he is liable to betray. A drug addict will betry the trust placed on him because his addiction is overpowering. It is greater than any sense of loyalty, integrity or honesty he may have. A person’s need to be wealthy and lead a luxurious life may cause him to steal embezzle or misuse information given to him in confidence. Overpowering sexual attraction may also cause a person to betray his marriage. The second reason could be a feeling that betra

Key to success lies in Management

Most of us work hard in our respective area, but only a few get what they want. Working hard is just not enough. Why? Bad management to be sure. How one manages – particularly one’s life – is at the root of one’s success or failure. One more thing. It is not intelligence alone that can lead one steadily to one’s goals. A person who mismanages his intelligence is left. Out to repent as a failure whereas one who is an average person, but makes the best use of his managerial skills gets to the goal post the quickest.

The author, to give just one aspect of managerial qualities, stresses on grooming your mind to take the right kind to take the right kind of decisions. He quotes Mahatma Gandhi, “it is wise to be too sure of one’s wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err” One must, says the author deliberate hard o

Why do we fear?

Most fears are nothing but movements of thoughts. A thought is a language that we give our words, pictures and feelings. You interpret a thought in your mind in a language that you are afraid and you experience fear. If there is no thought, there is no fear. When you are in deep sleep, a snake may glide close to you, but you are not afraid of that snake in such proximity because you are not thinking about the snake. On the other hand, when you are awake, the sight of even a coiled piece of rope can fill you with fear, because you think that the rope is a snake. Fears that are physical in their origin arise from a threat perceived in our immediate physical surroundings. For example, you may be in the jungle, and you know there are tigers in the jungle. You will genuinely be afraid. Even then, you can turn that fear into an enjoyable experience. What advertisers of adventure sports call an :adrenaline-pumping” or hair raising experience. Such fear also has great survival value.

Gone in less than 60 Seconds

Most of us have been told “Be aware increase your awareness” Awareness is such an important thing. If you are unaware, you will miss life. Only total awareness will bring you peace and happiness and will help you to get rid of sorrow, misery, unhappiness, anxiety and stress. We are able to spot unawareness in others easily. We frequently say “he is so unaware, it is obvious what he needs to do, but he just can’t see the point. If only he were more aware, life would be so easy for him and others. And though this sort of awareness about our environment and its components people, their reactions and emotions the weather, external events, one’s abundance or lace of assets and relationships are important, what is more crucial is internal or self-awareness. To be aware, one needs to be conscious, or mindful of all things external or internal. The biggest deterrent to awareness is our own mind. We spend a large portion of our lives inside our mind.
