I never understood the concept on patience. They brought me up, telling me patience was a virtue, but never telling me why.  So today we are going to unravel that mystery and understand how powerful patience is. I was was folding a swan out of origami with my sister one day, and me being me, I took it as a competition and I quickly made a swan out of the origami in just 2 minutes. Seeing that my sister was not yet done, I sat down beside her, looking at how she was making her swan. I eventually got bored and decided to take a nap. When I woke up, my sister enthusiastically came running towards me with her paper swan in her hand, and to be honest, it looked much more majestic than my floppy swan. I went to my mom sobbing and asked her why I couldn't make such a pretty swan. Then she told me something I will never forget. She said, "You have to be patient while working with origami. Some Things Take Time." But then, I never understood what she meant, I was only 6.  Some Thi...

Everything begins with an idea, every business, every magnificent monument, every app, every blog post, all that you can ever imagine has started from a spark in one’s head, whether an astronomic or minuscule idea it doesn’t matter. Every concept or plan, once executed, often leads to something much bigger.  It’s important to dream and come up with various imaginative ideas, without them there would be nothing new, there would be no progress. Ideas are important - we must assume everything around us before it can take a tangible form. By putting your mind at work, you are allowing yourself to explore new realms filled with opportunities, and who knows, you might just stumble upon something brilliant.  “But it’s not the idea, it’s never the idea, it’s always what you do with it.” - Neil Gaiman.  Just making ideas alone and not executing them serves no purpose.  The Value Of An Idea Lies In What You Do With It.

  "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy" —Thich Nhat Hanh

Once gone, forever gone, The time that's misused . Once gone, forever gone, The word once it's spoken. Once gone, forever gone, The opportunity one wasted. Once gone, forever gone, The occasion that's missed. Once gone, forever gone, The day that is forgotten. After the completion of an action, you can't go back.  Once it's done, it's done.  So before regret has the chance to haunt you, think. Think before every word, every action, because What is done cannot be undone.

"Perseverance”, in my eyes, is something that makes common people stand out. Everything you want to succeed in, comes back to perseverance. You may be extremely talented, you may be outstandingly smart, but without the push of  perseverance,  it really doesn't matter.  Perseverance gives us the ability to see our dreams become reality.

One of the basic rules of this universe is that NOTHING IS PERFECT We all have our flaws, we all have our dents, and our scratches, we have our broken smiles and weird personalities. But that's who we are and it's okay. It's okay to be perfectly imperfect. Nothing in this world is flawless. Perfection simply doesn't exist. Without imperfection, humans would have nothing to learn and nothing to strive for. Perfection is impossible because it means being flawless, it means not being able to make mistakes, not being able to misunderstand, it means not being human. The term "human" means that you will make blunders, it means you will fail, but it's all to overcome with experience, to learn, and to grow. Your mistakes are what have gotten you where you are and your faults are what have made you who you are. Remember: "We all have imperfections, and that's perfectly okay!"

I feel envy is like looking through a microscope, finding those small differences between your life and another's, it is like counting someone else's blessings instead of yours.  Its a cycle of looking at what other people possess, then looking at what you have and feeling the need to have more. It's a cycle that looks very hard to get out of, but in reality,  It is as simple as feeling happy for what other people are blessed with instead of crying over what you are not. [Read that again] The color of envy is clearly dark, but, is there some angel to its figure? According to  studies done at Texas Christian Universit y,  envy increases memory and cognitive function. A good thing?  Evidently not.  The only thing the subjects were sharper about were the objects of their envy.   Some argue envy is positive because it challenges us to reach higher and be better. But another in the same set of studies revealed that envy reduced subjects’ abilities to comple...
