TAKING IT SLOWLY..

We are surrounded with events and things that demand our attention. With the development of time this pressure has manifolded many times. The result ? Hypertension among youths. Heart attacks occurring to 10 year olds. Among many others.

It is basic human tendency to seek action. But human minds have limitations as well. There have been numerous studies that show that multitasking is a myth and that it has its toll on the work and health as well. All these things that seek one's attention are usually overwhelming and forces one to take it all in one go. This propels multi tasking and results into neglect and faults in the outcome.

Our education system has been designed to make all entities function equally. It does not take into account that each individual is different. The pace at which each person responds to tasks varies. As a result people are mostly lacking life skills. They almost never know the trick to handle tasks and pressure generated due to task loads. Thus, we can assume that the general masses are mostly incapable to cope with the trends that this new era brings with it. The evidences in support of this are evident.

This is not something that is not discussed often. There are awareness programmes being conducted in educational institutions. The common thing among these programs is that they treat this as a disease and try to heal the one suffering through counselling. A change in ideology is needed to bring visible changes. The youth should be made to acknowledge the changing scenario and provided with the skills to handle the same.

The demand for our attention is not going to decrease, rather the opposite of this is eminent. The secret is to Take It Slowly. Let the reality seek in. Give time to plan and prioritise the tasks at hand and then proceed. Never should we try to multi task because it is never fruitful.

Some tasks can be overwhelming but a mind well trained to contain these feelings is the one that can make it through. A well trained mind will find ways to better manipulate time and ways to automate tasks taking away unnecessary time. Time is the most valuable asset and it should be spent wisely.


Taking things slowly can solve half the problems by itself and the rest is just our action which can do the ultimate justice. Take the days one at a time and tasks too in the same way. This ancient wisdom is a life lesson and learning it is a life skill which we all need. Things are gonna get more complex. Ideal surrounding is soon going to vanish. It is high time to gain as much skills and wisdom as we can. There are many such skills and indeed this is an important one. Learn it and adopt it as a life style and never forget to take it all slowly in the process.. 

CRAB MENTALITY..

We all have in our life time come across people who have duality on their minds. They are the individuals who show and speak about something but end up doing the complete opposite. When such people are present in someone's life then its a warning for that person. These are the individuals who should be decluttered from ones life. In the present era duality is growing. People have hidden motives for almost everything they do. Apart from the hidden motives its their interest that plays another important role in their life. It's not wrong to be self centered but being that at the expense of another is not a good human karma.

Jealousy, competition and many such feelings are the core reasons behind this crap mentality. They ruin the society and corrupt the young minds that come in contact with such individuals. Competition is good but only when its a healthy competition. When this leads to corrupt means to bring out one's intentions leading to the harm of others ,then it's wrong. Healthy competition makes people grow while the vice versa also happens to be true and in fact is the most common phenomenon in today's society.

To add to all this is the crab mentality. It's a literary term that has originated from real biological behaviour of crabs. When crabs are placed in a cramped space, they try to climb out. The one who succeeds is not let to climb out by the others who keep pulling it back down. This is called the crab mentality. In our society people compete with one another and most often then not they have the crab mentality in place. They do not let the one who is doing good to go ahead or help him in doing so. Rather they pull him/her backwards and play tricks to get that person demotivated so that he/she fails in the endeavour. This is common and is the root cause of stagnant growth in many societies and even negative growth in some. 

The day people do away with this mentality will be the day when society changes for good. This requires a mindset change which is difficult to achieve but not impossible. Helping each other grow will in turn lead to a much sustainable development. If such unhealthy competition exists then growth will remain stagnant and the ultimate sufferers will be the people themselves. Let go of this crab mentality and work together which will not only help grow leadership skills but also will create some amazing relations that can be adored life long..
