MOTIVATE, INSPIRE AND TO BE INSPIRED
In our life every day we will get inspired by something or the
other around us. No doubt it is this inspiration, works like
tonic. Though it is a small spark eventually turns out to be a
tongue of fire, both to inspire others and to be inspired by
others are important.
Nature around us, seasonal climatic changes, trees, and most
importantly people around us inspire all of us immensely. It is we
look around and fill our souls with positive thoughts.
Back home at natives especially, wee hours bright pole star, the
rising sun with radiant rays in the mornings slowly developing, in
turn, tirelessly generating energy and life into this whole earth,
blossoms that selflessly bloom for others…., trees both providing
shade and shelter and fruits, a garden full of lively flowers…………
and back home paddy fields with green, though living only for 4
months but yielding the return in multi folds to the
farmer………serene river waters………yes everything - small or big have
a lesson and we get inspiration. One need not be a poet or
artist, writer or a thinker to narrate all this. In other words,
every human being is influenced by our surroundings.
Most common objects like a candle burning down give us light, in
away every creation of Almighty have a power to inspire, teach and
motivate us to be better human beings.
The influence of family, friends and colleagues in one’s life is
not measurable. Their guidance, teachings and of course preaching
of elderly are nothing but blessings of God through them. Some
people have the talents to entertain, enthrall, some to educate,
few to guide, many to encourage, support, very few to correct. No
one is perfect, weaknesses, shortcomings bound to be there. One
must look for better things within self first and then it is easy
to look for positive qualities in others.
It is quite human, to find fault with anyone and everyone…. but we
become blind or pretend to be one to see better in others.
Similarly, one must see better side of an individual / Institution
/ place / event / programme - before highlighting the short
comings. Normally all of us happy not only to criticize, find
fault in others but also see to magnify them to the maximum, to
overshadow the plus points!!
Our native Barkur is full of talents to stand at par with anyone,
for that matter. Barkur online a web portal designed and developed
by Kishore Gonsalves and aptly supported by many like minded
people, monetarily and otherwise, a purely a no profit making, un
biased effort to unite Barkurians around the globe.
It has done its little best, thus far in its mission. This is a
continuous process and during this journey, many are still with us
actively from the very beginning. It was the host and Team’s
intention to rope in fresh brains. Every time while looking at the
Pedruchi Chavi, I do feel many who are abroad and in cities like
Mumbai, have ready access to internet facility can spend little
time, once in awhile, by sharing their knowledge and feelings.
Just make a beginning, then it is a good habit cultivated, ‘no
time, no mood, very busy’ are just escaping answers
Mr. James Fernandes, though occupied like all of us, set an
example – yes we read him; enjoy those words, thoughts, feelings
but shy away to express it by a sentence or two. New Financial
Advice is updated – whether you agree or not…. Let us discuss…………
Fr Tony used to enlighten on various subjects, every now and
then, many must have benefited spiritually, but what’s wrong if
one admit it……new POM’s are introduced, poems knitted…. new
articles published…..and I am sure most of you find time and have
patience to go through them and …..surely at once something creep
in your minds, may be an appreciation, some missing information,
even an opinion contradicting the one expressed therein…..don’t
hesitate our host always happy to welcome your feelings.
Let me admit here, in these days I too less frequent as I got same
sort of stuff……….really at times feel am I over dozing…..if so
keep me excused…..
