During a seminar that I attended as an English Language Teacher I came across a very interesting poster.The line that caught my attention was " It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts".This very line line unveils a great philosophy of healthy living.It doesnot matter how long a man/women lives, its the way a person handles those years.In the book "Like the Flowing River" Paulo Cohelo also talks about the same phenomenon.Paulo enumerates that we are so much drenched in our busy routine that we donnot get time for anything else.We want to work and burn midnight oil because we want to prove to the world that how important we are.In the end ,when the time comes to depart the world ,the angels write in our book of deeds that "This man didnot live the life, he just passed it".Ironically this is what all of us are doing in reality.Nobody is living the life in true sense as we have over burdened ourselves with worldly stuff. We just crave after the status and position and in doing so sacrifice our filial duties and camaraderie to great deal. And to exacerbate the matters, nobody even realizes that untill the end. Its high time that we give it a thought and re-schedule our routine in a better way.

Grasping The Time
During my professional life I have learnt the lesson of being responsible and exact.Its better to settle things before hand instead of doing all the stuff at the eleventh hour.Infact its better to be ahead in every aspect.If one develops the habbit of getting done with the things before time, it gives greater command as then one has ample time to rethink and re-evaluate and to mould it in a much better way.Specially this is the right way of tackling with lectures and notes.A lecturer should leave no stone unturned and should be perfectly prepared so that he/she can satiate the learners in a better way.It also gives u enough confidence and sense of satisfaction that entails better performance in the class. Being exact also endows you with a knack of dealing with the learners and thus develops you into an enhanced and polished individual as well as a professional.

Uncertainty
There are many uncertain things in life at this point.Trying to get everything settled but havent been able to get done with all of them yet.The process has started though:).The worst part is that one day everything seems like straightening up and the other day it entagles again.I think I am just being impatient .Its better for me to take a break and see which way the wind blows for me after a while..Till then its just pray time:)

Bizzare Phase of Life
Now a days , I have been going through a very bizzare phase of life..I have dreams besmeared with struggle, plans besmeared with hope, happiness besmeared with uncertainty and making of decisions besmeared with ambitions.
This is a die or die time for me.The way my life will be in the following years to come is entirely in my hands now.The lesson that emerged , as a ray of hope, amidst all the struggle is that depending on somebody else is like abandoning your dreams with your very own hands.So many mouths, so many opinions.Never believe on the information that somebody else is venting on to you.Go and explore on your own.Specially this is the advice for everybody who longs to excel in life and is pursuing the practical field.No pains , no gains.Neither is there any short cut in life nor try to create one.The more you work hard, the more you are moving forward..People wont be all the time cordial with you, harshness will come you way but take it boldly and dont budge from your ambition.Try till the end and you will surely see a ray of light emerging from the far end of the tunnel of your struggle....

Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
The most important thing that I have learnt in the previous years is the miraculous effect of positive thinking on our life.As ALLAh also says in Quran that " I will Treat you according to your Expectations from Me".The image that we have of ALLAH in our minds parallels with the acheivements and failures in life.Eradicate the word "impossible" completely from your life.If you have a dream, just knuckle yourself down to acheiving it, and sky will be the limit then.Paulo Cohelo also talks about this same phenomenon in his inspiring book " The Alchemist" and enumerates that "When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true".You just have to believe in yourself and work hard for it.Do make plans in your life as your planning and your setting of goals guides and mnotivates you.It gives your life a special purpose that then reflects in your daily routine.Instead of yakking away your precious hours you would be striving for somewthing that is ur utmost desire.In this way , one aim will lead to another and the chain will continue.Start first with the short term goals and gradually shift towards the long term planning.Never, even for a second, deem anything impossible or improbable.Plan as if you have already started to see the fullfillment..Always dream, and dream high, as only those who dream are able to put in efforts for its fullfillment..No dream, no aim, no motivation and eventually no achievement....
