The physical self and mind as unwilling slaves to a despised cause is physical and spiritual violation. \par \par 3.Controlled freedom is externally induced refrain, discretion and responsibility .It is only when we are given the sovereignty of freewill do we realise our susceptibility and vulnerability. \par \par 4.If a soothsayer predicts negative events in our lives, use freewill to avoid them. If a soothsayer predicts positive events in our lives ,use freewill to fulfil them. }{\b\fs56\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4017257 \par }{\fs28\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4017257 \par 5.We should all generate our own knowledge not just absorb all that we have learned. In order to attain our full intellectual potential ,we need both the scholar and innovator in us. \par \par 6.When at last we realise how much we\rquote ve lost when things have passed, we have grasped both wisdom and folly. \par \par 7.A pessimist is plagued by dark vision. An optimist is embraced by clear hope .A practical realist has both dark vision and clear hope . \par \par 8.Sweeping statements are uninsured ventures offering high risks of swallowing our words and pride. \par \par 9.The course of one\rquote s life is like a quest for a masterpiece. It hinges on just the right intensity and apt strokes. \par \par 10.The best we thought we were at earlier times are sometimes not as good as the best stage we are at now. Being at one\rquote s best depends on the time scale it is judged on. We peak differently at different times. All our peak points are the summits of their own time. \par \par 11.A mortal fact here : Those who live within the century they were born in and never get to see the next or those fortunate enough to see the next. \par \par 12.Clich\'e9s that we cannot do without are not clich\'e9s but language essentials. \par \par 13.Anxiety to the mind is akin to a fractured leg to the body. \par \par 14.To maintain constant levels of alertness, for the prolific mind ; repose while for the sedentary mind ; stimulation. \par \par 15.Moderate amounts of guidelines in convention and etiquette ensures that civilization behaves in civil fashion. Excessive amounts of convention and etiquette converts life into ritualistic enslavement of thought and action. \par \par 16.If you don\rquote t know nothing you know something. \par \par 17.One insists because of truth. One insists because of prejudice. \par \par 18.Experience is when something becomes easier, more predictable with less surprises with our ability to discern those worth cherishing and those \par only worth during their fleeting hour. \par \par 19.Innovation may spell the demise of erstwhile techniques which were innovations of yesteryears or just muffle th em. The possibility of revamps, revivals cannot be overruled entirely be they in similar, related or different fields of interest. Nostalgia has its charms. \par \par 20.In order to be profound in thoughts the mind must be liberated from the immediate reality of trifles. \par \par 21.The inexperienced and strong pour all their power to complete a task. \par The experienced and not as strong place their power where it\rquote s needed. \par \par 22.There are those who are weak with strong will and those strong with \par weak will. \par \par 23.Sharing is to be aware that we are not the absolute owner and to attune ourselves to the pendulum cycle of holding and releasing. \par \par 24.Communication isn\rquote t confined to mere expression. Communication involves discretion and sensitivity as well to connotations and subtleties. \par \par 25.A wizened head is not necessarily a wise one, vice-versa. \par \par 26.To be educated with what we know and to expect them in a particular form only is to be unprepared for exceptions. \par \par 27.Innovation brings changes to lifestyle , technology and attitude too. \par \par 28.To be comfortable with Falsehood is to be uneasy with Truth. \par \par 29.If conventional methods bind us in a knot , let innovation undo it. \par \par 30.If conformity fills the world, inventiveness shapes it. \par \par 31.If conformity follows the charted course, innovation plots it. \par \par 32.Tradition is a method to get fledglings and elders involved. For a while, regardless of seniority ,they are united by a common cause. \par \par 33.Daring, recklessness and folly are discerned by the odds, rational thought and degree of desperation. \par \par 34.Observe interests before resolving the conflict. \par \par 35.Meet your Maker with readiness and anticipation , honour and humility , knowledge and receptiveness ,forgiveness in soul , remorse for vices , joy for virtues and devoted willingness to be of service to the Omnipotent. \par \par 36.Some interpretations of morality and immorality change as humanity evolves while the absolutes remain. \par \par 37.We labour for ourselves and for others. \par \par 38.Trends are variants and possibilities. They dock at the harbours of fashion and drift away to the sea of pass\'e9. From obscurity sometimes they do return. Direction lies not there. Direction lies in rudiments upon which trends were moulded. \par \par 39.Unbridled discerning divides us. \par \par 40.To know much of everything is extraordinary. To know much of something or someone is a common norm. \par \par 41.Most of the time a-know-it-all is a know-less-than-all. \par \par 42.Having just adequate knowledge to exist is like being familiar with our own dwelling. But once outside ,we become ignorant strangers. \par \par 43.Let us live and understand not just mere pride from knowing about things. \par \par 44.Search within and discover that \par ...we know more than we think \par ...we know less than we think \par ...we are less than what we think we are \par ..we are greater than what we think we are \par \par 45.It is a terrible affliction to underestimate and overestimate ourselves frequently. \par \par 46.An identical replacement should be deemed as such without undue expectations for it to resemble or be what was lost or unattainable. To have a substitute subjected to endless comparisons brings agony and disillusionment. \par \par 47.Withholding, releasing, utilising and non utilising information exacerbates or brings peace. \par \par 48.To shape one\rquote s own methods and principles , observe others. From that emerges one\rquote s identity with tolerance and understanding of others. \par \par 49.The best way to honour and cherish is to treasure and remember it at its finest. \par \par 50.It is great to be flawlessly felicitous for the moment. It is greater to be \par relevant always. \par \par 51.Blood is the fluid of life. Water is the fluid for sustaining life. \par \par 52.Two options to attain greatness and awareness. One, through conspicuous \par actions .Two, through inconspicuous means. \par \par 53.We realise mistakes \par ...while it\rquote s been made \par ...after it has been made \par ...after been informed \par ...after admonishment \par ...after been criticised \par ...after its consequences have befallen us \par ...before its occurrence \par \par 54.Acknowledgement comes while we are here or when we have left. \par \par 55.Opportunity is not a one way traffic flow. There are times when others and events create opportunities for us. In our time of need, magnanimity , obligation or circumstantial twists of events, we create opportunities for others. \par \par 56.Having an interest in a certain subject covers more than academic pursuits. Practical pursuits come to play too. It can be a possession of something with the potential to augment progress in a particular sector or more. \par \par 57.Interest may lead to growth or decline, conception or doom to those affected. \par \par 58.When we realise that we are misfits in other matters, console ourselves with our strengths. \par \par \par 59.It is not easy being a perfectionist. The mind has to live up with the demands of the heart\rquote s desire, th e form has to toil while the conscience has to answer whether to live with a flaw or eradicate it even if it means more effort. The restless heart searches constantly for improvement. The final attainment and result of work is left for the perfectionist t o regard it as worth every iota of distress, sacrifice , struggle and rumination invested or else the set up is undone and rebuilt again. \par \par 60.Thinking is the means of marshalling our dormant memory, facts , ideas and dreams while we coax them to form a cohesive logical fluxion. \par \par 61.Endurance and Faith are required in the advance into uncertainty for they are our defiant impetus of resistance which pit against tempting surrender. \par \par 62.Rational judgment and discretion are imperative in an age when sources of knowledge provide contradictory accounts. It aids those who are bemused and buried in the quagmire of indecision. \par \par 63.Seekers seek for \par ...the purpose of conquering \par ...the purpose of cherishing \par ...for the sake of seeking \par ...in order to destroy \par \par \par 64.Bellicose seekers will be met with opposition while the one who comes in peace will be greeted with cooperation. \par \par 65.Public opinion is what society considers you to be. Reputation is what you have done to enable associates , rivals and strangers to consider you to be. Self-esteem is what you consider yourself to be . \par \par 66.Artists create \par ...what they think the public want .... for the joys of creating \par ...what they think that the public should see ... according to their whims \par ...exactly what the public want ... or things which will invite controversy \par ...for the sake of creating ... for the sake of their sanity. \par \par \par 67.It is much easier to yearn and possess than to cherish and preserve. \par \par 68.WHAT CAUSES CONFLICT ? \par Differing points of view and no middle road for both to tread. \par \par 69.Actions are impulses and thoughts brought to the physical realm. \par \par 70.Curb fears that immobilise us. Value and harness those which mobilise us. \par \par 71.Sometimes the way to peace is to just accept the state of things. \par \par 72.The ability to adapt, learn , to be adept and improvise are methods used \par for mastering situations .The ability to amass possibilities are methods of altering or avoiding situations in which we were cast in. \par \par 73.We may not welcome old age yet we ought to welcome wisdom from experience. \par \par 74.Among us are those who treasure their childhood and wish to be children and innocent. There are those who treasure adulthood .There are those willing to remain in the world of adolescent joys and pain. \par \par 75.Be calm if one is as wise as one ought to be. \par Fear not if one is wiser too. \par Fear when one is less than one ought to be. \par \par \par 76.Situations influence our mood. We cannot deny that our moods do exist. We are all moody people. \par \par 77.Fear for yourself and for others if you have no control over destructive impulses. \par \par 78.A perfectionist can be one who demands perfection from oneself and/or from others. Demands for perfection may be constant or occasional , realistic or otherwise while dealing with human or technological limitations . \par \par \par 79.Swearing to keep secrets is easy. To refrain ourselves from disclosing is the challenge. \par \par 80.Sometimes it is the average person with common sense who puts things right not experts weighed down by their theories and principles. \par \par 81.It is easy to disclose a secret. It is hard to live with the fact of having done so. \par \par 82.Past brushes with fright make either the coward or the brave. \par \par 83.The make does not make a person. \par \par 84.There are times when changes appear to threaten our plans. They are sometimes inevitable. At times it is our less than perfect ideals which are threatened and to alter them will be to our advantage later. \par \par 85.Better to transform faces of the present and deal with the tide of approaching time than undo an established past . \par \par 86.Truth can be blurred but its persistence ensures that its implications will not be shrouded indefinitely. Truth outlives schemers . \par \par 87.Deny truth and believe delusions. Deny truth and be hounded by its legitimacy .Deny truth but later come to terms with it. \par \par 88.We retain the exterior and keep the core vice-versa . \par Keep both core and exterior or discard both for new. \par \par 89.If one searches and discovers common links in the mesh of basic principles , dissimilarity floats on the surface and similarity is submerged \par below. \par \par 90.Conformity tries to cajole individuality to apologise for its uniqueness. \par \par 91.If our expressions of individuality in no way transgress human laws or God\rquote s ,there is no basis to demand for a renouncement or recant. \par \par \par 92.It is best that we allow not ourselves to be stunted by well worn methods and well tried ways. Time will tell as to when we are secure and confident enough to venture out from the narrow sphere. \par \par 93.If you have been spared certain labour, use the time allocated to your leisure for self evaluation and elevation . \par \par 94.It is not adequate to just grow wiser. Disseminate your work so others may derive the same joys as well. \par \par 95.The question is laid to every person. Will one travel along the lighted or darkened passage ? \par \par 96.Sense of duty comes in various forms. Whatever the preference or nature \par the end is for some benefit. \par \par 97.Society tends to consider us... \par ...too much of certain things too little of others \par ...capable of certain things incapable of others \par ...knowledgeable of some and ignorant of certain things \par ...should be certain things and not be others \par ...apt for some and inappropriate for others \par ...too early for certain things too late for others \par ...just about right for some others. \par \par 98.Desire, goals and interest are among those which have another in place when fulfilled. \par \par 99.It takes varying doses of effort to end below, equal to or grander than the manner in which we have started. \par \par 100. Biological and mental age has a bearing towards our ambitions and enthusiasm not just the environment. One extract does not make a compound. \par \par 101.Philosophy is the sum of experience and knowledge regarding a matter or a scope of matters compressed into blocks of wisdom or expressed in a full length treatise form. \par \par 102.What seems to be the start or the end may turn out to be a brief term , long term or perpetual existence of a state. \par \par 103.The measure of courage is based on the manner in which we confront the actual event or how one comes to grips with the outcome. \par \par 104.We know that we have become more discerning in taste when we are more selective, are no longer smitten or persuaded by one of its elements . \par We appreciate the entirety. \par \par 105.If what that has been expressed does not correspond with what has been done, language is unnecessary and superfluous. \par \par 106.When one has nothing to say it is time to reflect on that state of emptiness. \par \par 107.There are those who want to prove themselves.
