Change and Future






“You cannot change your future, but you can change your habits and surely your habits will change your future.” – Dr. Abdul Kalam.

Dr. Abdul Kalam, the former the President of India, is considered to be the Father of Nuclear Projects of India. After is term as the President of India, he is fully engaged in meeting young students with success theories. He is the most respected personality in India now.

Future is not certain. Still we want to shape it according to our dreams. The tragic fact is that we cannot change our future by a direct intervention. Future lies hidden beyond the horizon of today where we have no entry.
How can we shape our future? The only way to change our future is to change our habits that shape the future. What we do today is a seed that will germinate to bear fruit in the future. Hence what we do now will return to us a hundred fold in future.
So change our habits that lead to actions. It will surely change our future.
Success is counted not by the harvest but by the seeds we sow today.

Progress and change - George Bernard Shaw




“Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw was the well dramatist of the 20 Century. Many of his sayings are wisdom in words.

He is speaking of change. He points out three things:

1.       Progress is impossible without change
2.       A change of heart is necessary for effecting changes
3.       Without a change of mind no changes can happen and no progress is possible.

A detailed explanation fit for this quotation is available in my blog. Read @ http://professorjacobabraham.blogspot.in/2013/06/changing-to-new-heights.html

George Bernard Shaw - truths and blasphemies



 


“All great truths begin as blasphemies” – George Bernard Shaw.

George Bernard Shaw was the genius of the 20 C. He was a dramatist better known as GBS.
He looked at life different. He was not a conformist. So he could better the world.
His views and opinions on man matters were different from the conventional thinking and belief. He was criticized and enjoyed.
It is true that all great things begin as blasphemies. The truth that the earth is round was a blasphemy when it was first told. Many great inventions were criticized as tools of devil. In olden times, the church looked suspicious of all scientific theories. Still truth prevailed.
Jesus Christ was called a blasphemer by the Jews of the time.
Truth is always truth. No truth can be hidden or destroyed.
Truth need not be conforming to the present beliefs. Truth is not governed by beliefs of man. Truth needs no approval of man.
So all great truths begin as blasphemies. Time proves them the truth and others blasphemies.

Martin Luther King - run if cannot fly




“If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t fun, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Worthy words spoken by a great man.
Life is a constant struggle to move on. One fails as long as he is moving forward. Failure is stopping the race.
Race of life does not demand a nonstop running. We may take rest. We may deviate from the main path.
In athletic race there is only one winner.
In life, all who finish the race are winners.
Running is success. Stopping is failure. This is the theory of winners in life. We might have fallen weak or sick. Failures might have weakened our strength. We had to take rest from running at different levels.
Do not worry. Continue the race. 
We are free to finish the race soon or later. We have freedom to select the speed of the race. Our strength and talents are never questioned in life.
Even death at the winning point is success.
