The zeal for second half

                           

     The half of the year 2017 is gone forever. It had departed into the stash of history, if there is anything to count of it, it is either lost or gain.  Apostle Paul instructs us not to look behind, even at success or failure, but to ‘press forward towards the high calling of God.

LIFE AND GREED

   
 I quite agreed with my pen-friend, Dale Carnegie, with no tinge of doubt in my heart that: “there are only two things that man aims at in life; firstly to get all his wants and secondly to enjoy it.

The Ignorance of Self

One has arrived at the sight of the truth that although the intellectual wealth of the whole world is ours, yet we are barely wiser. We still wonder why the earth was made and what the real meaning of life is. We would still like to learn the art of self-control and the way to undisturbed happiness.
