BE POSITIVE - Byju Joseph

Life is the greatest gift of God. It is a combination of happiness and sorrow. Everything happens for good in our life. It passes through good and bad times. You need to face bravely the bad times to know how the good times feel and to enjoy them sweetly.

Life is like a journey through a dark tunnel, but you should know that it has an end where you can find the light. You need to take up the hardships once to rejoice later. Don’t forget that you can get a wide view only after you have reached the top of the mountain. You need to feel the coldness to understand the hotness. You have to fall down once to know how it feels to stand up with your head above. There is nothing to worry about the hardships in your life. 

Be hopeful, everything will change and there will be a new dawn. You have to realise that your struggles are there to help you to be stronger than ever. Your strength comes out only through your struggles. These difficulties are required to survive in your life. Life can be full of challenges, but you should know only challenges create success. In life nothing goes waste, everything comes worth.

You should be thankful for everything. If you have hard times just know you need it to strengthen yourself, it was a blessing in disguise. You cannot control everything in your life, sometimes you need to let it happen in its own way, sometimes you need to make it happen in your own way.

Learn from your life, survive those challenges, rise above and be a reason that others won’t give up in their lives just like you. You should feel blessed as you have got a life to live even if it is full of struggles, still, you can make it beautiful.

Simplicity And Trust - Prerna Rathod

Simplicity and trust, these two things are not ornaments that we can wear; these are the qualities of a person and are connected to each other. It means that if you are simple it is quite easy for people to trust you because you will have nothing to hide. In other words, if

we keep things simple, there is no place for trust issues. Also, there is a beauty in simplicity. "True sophistication lies in simplicity."

Simplicity is a quality or condition of being easy to understand or do, whereas trust means firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something. If a person has the ability to keep things simple and is able to keep the trust of people, then that person definitely lives with inner peace. A person should not only have these qualities to show to the world, but he/ she must have it when he is alone too. Simplicity makes life simple and having someone's trust is truly a blessing.

I would like to recall some quotes:
"Live simply, so that others can simply live." This indeed means that keeping our life simple will help others to live simple.

The best example I can recall is of Mahatma Gandhi. He leads a simple life. Thus, people trusted him from their heart. They believed that Gandhiji would help them to achieve freedom for India. They followed all rules made by him and at last, we got our freedom. Thus, India got its independence in 1947.
