What Kind of People Does the World Need?

The World Needs People

-who cannot be bought

-whose word is their bond

-who put character above wealth

-who possess opinions and a will

-who are larger than their vocations

-who do not hesitate to take chances

-who will not lose their individuality in a crowd

-who will be as honest in small things as in great things

-who will not make compromise with wrong

-whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires

-who will not say they do it, “because everyone else does it”

-who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and heart-headedness are the best qualities for winning success

-who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it’s unpopular

-who can say “no” with emphasis although all the rest of the world says “yes”

Question: Do you think you possess all the desired attributes?

I lack several attributes, one of which is that my ambition is confined to my own desire which is my own happiness, and this happiness of mine is attained by seeing people i love happy. Is it considered selfish?

Well, you know what, PM? It's like each of us is not left with many choices...so it's either you are selfish or selfless...so in this case, you are selfish but then if you devote heart and soul for the world out there, then you are selfless...this is life!!:-)

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

Though i quite enjoy working at ITC quite a lot, there is something inside me that keeps popping up every now and then, and makes all the excitement and all the energy go away. "Why in God's name i never grow up?" You may ask! Well yeah i definitely know that separation is part of learning and growth, but i just seem incapable of grappling with it very well. It tears me apart when i sense my friends and i are drifting apart with each passing day. Again you may go like, "So lame!" I know it sounds so, but I just cannot help brooding a lot about this! I remember being literally lectured by my dad a few weeks ago about what adulthood is all about, and it struck me with a jaw-cracking blow that there are so many expectations of me. By "expectations", it has nothing to do with monetary issues. As a matter of fact, there is more to do with heavier responsibilities as a
