Virtual World to Virtual Relationships....??

We all live in this connected or linking world of Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and so on. An author by name Daniel Goleman has written a book titled, “Social Intelligence: The New Science of Social Relationships” In that book, he has explained all about social relationships and how today’s social networking has impacted our lives. I have not read his book, but got to know through an interview on TV. I want to focus mainly on the impact of FB on all of us as I use it regularly. I don’t use Google+ and rarely use twitter, so it’s better not to comment on things which I don’t use it.  

Education Ruins a Child

A for Apple, B for Bat, C for Cat, D for Dog……How many times have we heard about this. I was thinking instead of these….why not A for Amazing, B for Beautiful, C for Creativity, D for Discover……I know that a student learning the word Apple may not be able to learn the word Amazing, but my point is that our Education system ruins a child. It just narrows a child’s thinking. Even today, if someone asks to an adult what does A or B or C or D stands for, you can surely expect the same answer (i.e. Apple or Bat or Cat or Dog). There is a big problem in our education system. A student who gets the highest marks is branded as the best student, no offence meant to them for getting the highest marks. Even the schools, who call themselves as some International school, are no better.

Just say Thank you....

As always, small things make a big impact in one's life. The two words 'Thank You' makes 

a lot of difference. Just do this  and see the difference for yourself. Just say Thank You particularly to these following persons. Like a pav bajji fellow or taxi/auto driver, 

pani puriwala on the roadside corner or watchman or security guard, person selling vegetables, etc . 

They may not reply as expected, but it will make a huge difference for them. At first, you may not feel any change, but keep trying. In US, people call the taxi drivers as "Sir". 

I don't think we do this in India, subject to exceptions. Just imagine how good that driver will feel and this in turn will help you to be a better "human being". Why I am saying this, is because I have tried this and felt really good. I hope that you will also try this.
