“We ourselves feel that what we are
doing is just a drop in an ocean, but the ocean would be less because of that
missing drop.” – Mother Teresa
You must deliver your best in your
area of interest to add value to others. God created you in this world with
some purpose. Your role is to do your best; contribute your best to your
society; and leave this world with purpose and meaning. Otherwise, there is no
meaning to your life.
We all have immense energy hidden within
us. It can be used either for good or bad. Why not to use it for good? There
are people who use their internal mental energies against others out of envy or
hatred. Does it help them in any way? They constantly think of hurting others
or troubling others with their negative attitude. It does no good for them as
they live with tons of tension round the clock. Worse, there are people they
often think ill of others and spread baseless rumors. It pollutes their minds
and the people around them. Once their negative intentions are known to others,
people will sideline them from the mainstream.
It leads to rejection and finally getting into depression. Some people
spend their precious lives by thinking ill of others and troubling others. In
this way, they waste their entire life. At the end of their life, they realize
their mistakes. But it is too late by then. Hence, have a positive attitude, appreciate
good in others and spread good of others to make your life beautiful, and to
live your life with purpose and meaning.
Personally, I am always happy in my
life. I have no complaints and regrets. I am happy with what God has given to me. I keep working very hard to give my best. I
have no regrets, complaints or ill-feelings even if God doesn’t give me anything.
I am still happy because it is my inborn nature.
I serve students and society. I invest
most of my time to read books and share lots of knowledge with others free of
charge. Many people acquire my
knowledge, appreciate it and express their gratitude. I am happy with
them.
As a professor, I give my best to my
students. As a citizen of my country, I give my best to my country. As a global
citizen, I give my best for global society.
Do you give your best?
Here is a striking story of giving your
best:
“Once upon a time, there was a wise
man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on
the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the
shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He
smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so,
he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the
figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at
all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects,
and throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out
"Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"
The young man paused, looked up, and
replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
"I must ask, then, why are you
throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.
To this, the young man replied,
"The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in,
they'll die."
Upon hearing this, the wise man
commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and
miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly
make a difference!"
At this, the young man bent down,
picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the
water, he said,
"It made a difference for that
one.”― Loren Eiseley
