One day, Emperor Jovinian lay in bed
thinking about his vast empire and the power he had over his people. He began
to feel very proud and superior. No one would dare to disobey me, he thought.
I am the greatest, the most powerful. No one can touch me not even God. Why,
even God doesn’t have powers greater than mine. In fact, is there any other
god than me? Thinking such boastful thoughts, he feel asleep. The next morning, he wanted to go
hunting. No sooner said than done. Preparations were made immediately and he
went hunting along with many guards and attendants. The whole morning they
chased and hunted wild animals. The Emperor began to get tired, bot and
thirsty. Just then, he saw astream flowing by. He ordered his guards to stop. Wait here at a distance till I refresh
myself in the stream. So saying, he rode alone to the edge of the water,
alighted from the horse, took off this clothes and plunged into the cool,
crystal clear water. He forgot the heat, the exhaustion and began to relax. |

It is more profitable to read one man
than ten books. Practical experience is much better than theoretical
knowledge. Books give us only theoretical knowledge. They explain to us the
basic principles that govern human life. But it is the application of these
principles which is more valuable. Application changes with contexts and
books cannot explain contexts. Human life is like a game of chess. Rules
govern the game. But the knowledge of rules does not make one an expert
player. To become a good player, one must play. In fact, it is desirable to
play against a variety of players to grasp the subtleties and complexities of
the game. Similarly in order to understand life, one should meet as many
people as possible. And one should try to understand their strengths and
weaknesses, their motives, their inspirations, the factors that govern their
thinking and conduct. Understanding even one man like this
is more Profitable than reading ten books. So try to understand people. |

Youth and age will never agree.
Generation gap is much talked about phenomenon today. Itindiacates the wide
hiatus separating the young from the old. Some time the gulf separating them
is so wide that there hardly appears to be any possibility of bridging it.
However, the disagreement
between the young and the old is not a characteristic of modern times alone.
It has left its imprint on every age
though it is more pronounced today than ever before. Rapid scientific
advancement coupled with the accelerated pace of economic changes has greatly
influenced the thinking of the young and they reject everything with a stamp
of the past as dead wood. Old customs and traditions appear to them as
obsolete and irrelevant. But conformity to the same traditions ensures stability to the old. They feel
that the young are out to destroy
the existing order with nothing more desirable to replace it. Thus
while age looks back and opts for static conservatism, youth looks ahead
towards dynamic change. |

Newspaper reading has become a habit
with most of the educated people. Newspapers are now as necessary for a
modern man as food, clothing, housing and education. We can’t do without the
newspapers. The students, the politicians, the businessmen, the unemployed,
the men in search of matrimonial alliance, the seeker after pleasure, the
artists-all turn the pages of the newspapers. Each and every body begins his
day with at least a quick glance in the newspaper. Even the heads of States
have to scan some of their coloumns to see how the public and the
politicians, think about them and react to their policies. Newspaper are
many. First of all, it provides us with the latest news and information of
the city, the country, the neighbouring states and the world. In these days
of science and technology, the things move so fast, events take place so
quickly and in great number that to keep track, newspaper reading is a must. |

Examinations are very important. They
judge ability, skills, aptitude, power of judgement and thinking of the
concerned examinees. Success in life and career, more or schools, colleges,
and universities impart training and education, then awa5rd certificates,
diplomas and degrees to the successful candidates. From the beginning to the
end, there is a series of tests and examinations. Life itself is a series of
ordeals and test. Thus, examinations are unavoidable. They provide a proof of
a student’s progress, learning. They are the only means by which it can be
decided whether a trainee or a student deserves to be promoted to the next
higher class or not. Examinations urge and inspire students
to study hard, it is because of these tests and examinations that students
are serious, regular and punctual in studies. It creates a sense of discipline and a
desire to fir better and score better than others in the examination. A
healthy competition is there because of these tests. But are these
examinations sure test of one’s merit and academic achievements? |

Man is a bundle of habits. Anything
done often and repeatedly is called a habit. It is an acquired pattern of
action which becomes easy and automatic because of repetition. Thus, habits,
once formed, are difficult to be removed. That is why, the saying, ‘Old
habits die hard’. The root of habit is practice
and regularity. The more we repeat a habit, the more permanent it becomes. We
are bound to repeat habit, because if we do not, we feel uncomfortable and
uneasy. This is called the force of habit. Habits can be good as well as bad. But
it is very easy to acquire bad habits. Bad habits once acquired become the bonds
and a chain for ever, if one becomes a victim of bad habits, they render its
escape impossible, habits become part of a man’s nature. They can’t be
changed specially at advanced stage. As a cat can’t change its stripes, so
your can’t
change or get rid of evil habits. Like one’s name they stick fast and remains
till the grave. |

Mountains are a wonderful creation of
Nature. In their height, grace, mystery, sublimity and grandeur, they are
irresistible from times immemorial. Many of our great shrines, temples and
centres of pilgrimages are in mountains, particularly in the Himalayas. The goddess Parvati is the Princess
of the mountains, her father Himalay is the King of mountains, Shiva, the
lard of dance, yoga, tantra and beasts dwells in the Kailash mountain, ever
covered with perennial ice and snow. Our ancient rishis and sages always
retired to the mountains and in
forests, for Samadhi, deep meditation and a search for the truth, Mighty
rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Brahmputra, Sindhu, etc., have their origins in
the Himalayas. Similarly, the mountains in central and south India are the
source of many sacred and mighty rivers. Nature has been very liberal in
bestowing the gifts of mountains on us in India. The Himalayas is one of the
youngest mountains and the Aravalis one of the oldest ones. |

Time is precious, time is money. We
all grow in time, we live in time and we perish in time. Time is universal
and all important. But what is time? Perhaps nobody can define it precisely.
We may not be able to define it, but we know what it is and how valuable it
is. Our life is a short span of time in the eternity and we must make best
use of it. Every body wants success, but only a
fortunate few achieve it, because they make the most of every second of this
precious commodity called time. Time and tide waits for no man or woman. One
cannot command time to stop or to wait. You cannot buy it, nor can your
recover it. Time once wasted and spent, can never be regained. The flow of
time is ceaseless and eternal. It is more powerful than the mightiest kings,
princes and monarchs. Kingdoms, dynasties and epochs come and go but the flow
of time goes for ever uninterrupted. Time is death, time is birth, time is
old age, it is everything. Nothing escapes time. Time is abstract but its
footprints are concrete and palpable. |
