A LIFE CHANGING LEARNING

a few days back i was given an assignment of doing three acts of kindness AT A workshop.and i couldnt do it.

i gave the reason " i tried but i couldnt"

the teacher placed a bottle on the table,
she told me " TRY to pick this bottle"

and i picked it up. she again said " TRY to pick up this bottle" " don't pick it up"

i got the message........

you can either pick up the bottle , OR YOU CANNOT......THERE'S NOTHING SUCH AS TRYING.....

golden rule of life :you either do it or dont, and it applies to anything and everthing .("try" is just used as an excuse)
from that day onwards , the word " try" is no longer in my dictionary......

do remove it from your dictionary too...........

ecological footprint

a few days back i cam across a concept called the ecological footprint ....

a concept everone should know about......
shows the extent to which an individual/ country or the world is utilising/abusing the resources of the planet.

the amount of land/water area that would be required if everyone had the standard of living that you followed.....

my footprint was 1.7. that means 1.7 planets would be required if everyone had my kind of lifestyle .switzerland has the highest number. more than 10 planets would be required if everyone lived like them.......


it has to be below 1

check out what is yours.....
