'Humility is the True Virtue.'

Humility- and everything!

Please Check Out The Video...
What exactly is Humility? Who would have taught us this better than the present times of COVID 19?
The mightiest and the biggest are now united for a purpose. All have understood humility is the mightiest of all.

Humility so far was described as a modest or low view of one's importance. To be humble, one needs the genius of understanding the importance of both ourselves and the person right next to us. I think, if someone is humble, we generally take that for granted and move on in our daily life especially if we are in a  higher position or more skilled.

 I think humility is one of the most powerful and important attributes of training and relevant for a holistic approach.  Learning to become humble helps build trust, which is the key to leadership development though may crush our goals which sometimes are unrealistic as a leader. Being humble, we will definitely believe in the grass-root level worker hence be realistic and empathetic.

As the revolutionary Nelson Mandela once said “The first thing is, to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself… Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.”

By living a humble life, we can identify the areas of our life that need to be worked upon. If our coach and mentor suggest changing a technique to aid our performance, do we need to accept his advice? Only with humility and emotional intelligence, we will allow advice like this to sink in. 

To give an example of a person who has always been humble and generous towards mankind- Mother Teresa. She decided to take care of the sick, poor, and dying. Her work in India inspired many and showed people how to make a real difference in the world. 

I would also like to quote something said by  Guru Nanak Dev Ji, (first Sikh Guru of Sikhism,) as I connect with him - 

"The fruit of humility is intuitive peace and pleasure. With Humility they continue to meditate on the Lord, the Treasure of excellence. The God-conscious being is steeped in humility. One whose heart is mercifully blessed with abiding humility; Sikhism deal Humility as begging bowl before the god,"

 Guru Nanak Dev Ji, first Guru of Sikhs.




Checklist to know our humility quotient

  • Do you go red in the face if a junior tells you how to improve?

  • Do you not go red but do not take other's opinions seriously?

  •              Did we as full Planet not take Mother Earth's humility seriously? Did that lead us here and is the new normal?

Have to be ODD to be ‘THE NUMBER ONE!’

Have to be ODD to be ‘THE NUMBER ONE!’ Think Outside the Box… I’ve always known that I was different ever since I was a child. I couldn’t help but to effortlessly be the odd one out. Growing up, this made me upset. I wanted to be cool and fit in like the other kids. But as I grew older, I realized how much I love being different. I embrace my individuality now! I love it and it’s what makes me, well, me! The invention of the wheel was a miraculous invention, along with the airplane, and the telephone. All the inventions that have ever been created weren't just something that was already drawn out on a piece of paper for the inventors. They had to think. They had to imagine the masterpiece before it was even a physical object. These people weren't just thinkers or inventors. These people "Thought Outside the Box." Many people who try to invent something are not successful because they are afraid to break the confines of the outline. What I mean by this is that th...

Tasting Indiscipline

Tasting Indiscipline “Health is like money; we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it.” ~ Josh Billings We all have those cravings or thoughts that go regularly in our mind of junk food, we talk to ourselves at several occasions that, ‘Yeh Khaliya Toh Kya Hoga? I’m toh just having a bite and for a change na, nothing will happen. And eventually, I feel this is where the problem originates from. The urge of trying what is not suitable for our health but our tongues’ favorite, what to do? I totally understand this game being a teenager. I’m aware that often taste buds in our tongue overpower our brain and eventually we have a bite of it and oh boy, it is all over with a satisfaction which comes after a great job is done well. We often have a smile after consuming it. I am sure you can relate to it. Where to stop, when to have that kind of self- discipline, saying, now I have had my share (maybe more than my share) and now I’ve to stop otherwise it will be troubleso...

Enjoy the Beats of Music! Embrace the Fun! @21 st June 2020- Fête de la Musique ! ( World Music Day!!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-27Fkcn6jI   Have you ever put on your headphones, hit play on an upbeat tune, and waltzed down the street as if you were in a movie? You’re not alone, everybody has done it (they’re just too afraid to admit it!). Music has the ability to lift your spirits even when you don’t feel like getting out of bed that day. Why shouldn’t there be an entire day to celebrate the wonders of music? World Music Day needs to be celebrated far and wide without a doubt! Who doesn’t like the beats of music? Who doesn’t like to listen to soulful music at times and when no one is around, the best companion with us is music right? Music truly is a way to get people along! Music for me touches hearts of people and brings out the true emotions within them! Sometimes, I do feel that music is a great reflection for us to self- reflect and self- realize ourse...
