Control the world around you

switch on switch off that's it?

So there IS that button that switches things on and off the way you want it? It really IS that easy to have your way with others? To make them treat you right. But the catch is that you have to do the right thing. That's when the right thing bounces back at you. This is not the era of dictatorship. Your children, your husband or wife, your employees, even your maidservant; no one takes autocracy well these days.  It’s not governance. And then look at the parliament house: not like there’s a lot of respect these days even for leaders…So how do we get that sense of control over people who really need to be under our control?

Examination stress

We hardly ever are apprehensive or worried about things which are of no consequence to us. When we do have something at stake, we worry; we anticipate, we try and predict (sometimes positively; at others, negatively) and we embark on a wonder trip about the results more than the process. This is the point where we get hit by the enormous, dangerous, destructive, yet elusive iceberg of stress!

It's OK to disagree: Just do it with respect

Who ‘likes’ to be told that we are not doing the right thing?

Who enjoys being opposed in decisions we are capable of making?

Who wants to be ‘sermonized’ about what is appropriate and what’s not?

Surely nobody!

We are all extremely intelligent and well read today and we all have our own points of view. It becomes very difficult to accept those of another. This is one of the principal reasons why we see arguments in the parliament, corporate offices, bedrooms, colleges, schools and homes! Everyone wants to do their own thing; but it doesn't end there; everyone wants others also to do what they want to do themselves!
