EVERYONE'S LUCKY

Everyone's lucky
T here always appears to be heavy opinion on the side of hard work, compared to how lucky we can be.
Truly, hard work counts for success because through it a person can be at the peak of success. But, the entire credit to hard work might not be right as luck too seems to have a role in all that. So, the presence of both luck and hard work is there in any success story.
Think who works the hardest. No, not businessman, not doctors either.
It's the labourers. Just imagine him sweating it out the entire day and yet he is not rich.

Now, analyze it yourself. Does not luck play an important role for him? Is it not because of luck he is poor despite working hard? It's luck that decides the place of your birth, whether in a poor family or rich family. So, the role of luck in any individual’s life is there, though it is not visible like hard work. For one particular reason we take the support of hard work because it is physical.

If you are wondering whether you are lucky or not. Don’t get confused; it’s with us bust the thing is only to make it work for us. You probably cannot call yourself lucky if you have won yourself a huge amount playing bingo because you may lose it within a month.

It’s something foolish to call yourself unlucky just because you could not win a trip to South Africa to watch World cup 2010 through a draw. People who think they are lucky expect good things to happen to them, so they are optimistic.

What do you call the Pandavas?

Lucky or unlucky? They were born in a noble family, came up with such great power and achieved victory in the end.
Now, will it not be stupid if we call them unlucky simply for the fact they lost all gambling? Luck is there for all of us. We simply need to search for it seriously and the best possible way to search for luck is through sincere effort with positive vision.

It’s wrong to claim yourself unlucky simply because you don’t win in a game of ludo or cards. No matter what you are, even a laborer, you can give good education to your children for their bright future. You will definitely feel lucky to be the father of such wonderful son or daughter at that time. But you can never avoid hard work, hard work and luck come all together. So, we all are lucky in one way or the other.

Gadget Addiction

Gadget Addiction




‘Oh! There is I pad in the market’, ‘I am tired of using this old set, Please! I want I phone now!’, ‘Dad! I have been using Pulsar for last two years, now I want Fazer!’

Are not these sings of gadget addiction? We want all the updated stocks of the market. Basically, the youths get to enjoy lot with the gadget. Youths are the one who quickly get updated about the latest product in the market. They are all aware regarding the launching date of Apple’s I pad in the market. They know all the features, price of it. Youth are curious about it and get well informed about the product before hand.

‘Mom All my friends come to college in scooty, I am only the one to wait for micro, Please request dad!’. What can parents do in such situation? How can a parent tolerate that their child is going through a problem of humiliation? For the teen sensation, especially of big towns it has been a kind of fashion to get updated with the gadgets. What can an individual do when it is a kind of trend? It is awkward obviously to carry Nokia 1600 at go to college when all the friends are there with fancy latest sets. Or the youth cannot get mixed with the group who all have bike with them. Honestly, we can see the groups separation in any college as per the interest. Bikers have separate friend circle, similarly cell phone group are different. For medium class group, who hardly manage for the education fees are separate, smokers are different and studious student are different. No matter what, any teen would definitely get attracted towards the latest gadget.

Letting the child updated with the latest gadget is not big issue for bigshots. But this can really be a troubling issue for those medium grades who hardly manage to afford for the education. But what can parents do when it is a trend in the college itself? So there remains no option besides adding the burden through loans, credits etc. With the advancement in technology youth are simply addicted towards the gadgets and the manufacturers are focusing youth to suck money through the addictive adds like “pleases you, pleases money and your girlfriend’, or let that be through pictorial signboards on the middle of the road.

There is profit to media as they get to advertise, manufacturers will be in profit for sure, and same with the Government as they get to inject tax thereby. So it is for sure that there will not be anyone to guide us regarding this. So the main initiatitive must be taken by the colleges, institutes themselves. They strictly impose the rule about the uniform. Uniform are meant to bring uniformity which will certainly reduce the gap between a millionre and a normal citizen. But what remains the value of uniform when the discrimination has been there through gadgets? Parents need to analyze the needs with the time and purchase the gadgets. They also need to figure out if those gadgets are acting has the hindrances for their future or not. However youths they need to understand the situation and learn to avoid it. They first need to think if they will be able to buy those goods to their child in the future or not. I have my friend who spend around twenty thousand per month and when I asked him if he can earn the amount himself in future he was in total confusion.

Yes! It is necessary to get informed about the latest advancements in the market. But we should not cry like child for it. Economic condition of the family, its use need to be analyzed. It’s not a good idea to demand for I pad when your cell phone has all the features in it.
