The Object Of The Superior Man Is Truth

• Confucius in his quote says “The object of the superior man is truth”, sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue. The superior man has the feeling of truthfulness. They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.

  According to Confucius who is known as the first teacher in China, truthfulness is the basis of every virtue. Without truth, nothing valuable can be achieved.  Sincerity is an essential quality of people.

   

  This is only one good to best quality which Confucius has described of a supper-man. Supper-man is an ideal person, which he named Nobel-man and great-man. He was really a very wise person, looking like a Man of God. His teachings are of great value and can be taken as golden words.

   

  These quotes are not only admirable but are recommendable to apply in our lives. The actual effectiveness of his quotes is to understand them fully and then try our best to act upon them. In this way, we can make our lives like supper-man.

   

  It is also a fact that it will not be an easy thing to lead our lives truthfully. There are so many distractors that hinder our ways toward honesty. So, it will be necessary to establish the nobility of the virtue of truthfulness. Only and only then we can get the full benefit of the virtue of truth.

   

  Truth is a quality, recommended by almost all religious groups. There is no other view about truthfulness. It is an international quality, which is commendable and recommendable. It is very important to apply this rule in our lives, by using all our efforts.

Power Of Sound Of Silence

Types of Power

There are many kinds of power in this world. The power of words, the power of wealth or money, the power of the military, the power of politics, the power of media, the power of people, the power of religion, the power of speech, and the power of sound of silence. All these powers create very powerful effects on this world. The history of the man establishes the strength of these factors. The drastic changes in this world, positive or negative, are dependent on these changes.

What is Silence

Silence means the state of not speaking or talking. Silence is a rich and powerful tool of communication and provides some clues as to how it works in different areas of human communication and how it can be accounted for by various theories.

Silence can also be helpful in understanding so many issues in a better way. The people who talk more and listen less, are usually losing much information. In fact, we can do one thing at one time. If we focus on speaking, we will not be able to listen carefully to anybody else.

This world with its all beauties, its marvelous scenes, the world of stars and galaxies, the flying clouds of unbelievable greyish colors, so innocent and pretty world of flowers, smoothly flowing rivers, the vast and dense forests and above all the endless sky, all are silently presenting such a heart touching view that cannot be ignored at all. This silent beauty cannot be explained truly by famous writers. It can only be felt by eyes.

Importance of Silence

Silence is very beneficial in most life situations. It can save us from so many unwanted and undesirable social situations. To speak more can create a lot of problems for speakers. We can avoid unhappy events. If we review the situation of law enforcement agencies, we will find the cases of crimes only and only due to excessive and unbearable talk. Which can easily be avoided by keeping silent. If a question is met with silence, there is often an answer in that silence. We can also soften the blow of a negative answer by silence being the response. If we are silent, we send a powerful message that communicates that we don't agree or are not going along with what someone is saying.  

It is not easy to develop this quality in ourselves. It will require patience and persistence. It will not be easy to make ourselves quiet after listening to anything we don’t like.

To be Silent

Creativity is a quality that needs silence. In a noisy atmosphere, nothing can be created. We cannot concentrate properly and concentration is a basic requirement for the creation of any kind. Creative people are usually not talkative. If our focus is on talking, we cannot think deeply. Our minds can work better in one direction at one time. So that we observe that creative people like silent places and situations. It is a fact that noise has been linked to a lower level of learning. 

The physical benefits of silence are definitely there. A study published in the journal of Heart discovered that two minutes of silence can prove to be even more relaxing than listening to “relaxing” music. They based these findings on changes they noticed in blood pressure and blood circulation in the brain. Silence enhances our cognitive resources. Studies show that silence can actually stimulate new cell growth in the brain, improve memory, and release tension. A study conducted in 2015 found that spending some time each day in silence, specifically in mindfulness meditation, reduced insomnia and fatigue in our older adults.

Silence can be beneficial to know yourself in a better way. When we consciously practice silence and deep listening in our relationships we may feel more compassion and empathy for the people in our lives. When we put a pause on auditory stimulation, it’s easier to hear our intuition and we can hear a small voice inside that’s always whispering to us but that we can’t hear when our ears are listening to nothing.

Silence is two-way. One is to be silent and the other is outer silence. Both are beneficial not only for our health but also helpful for our surroundings and our relations with others.

Might Is Right

Might is Right

Might is right is an idiom, which means who has strength or power can do everything, good or bad. Is it true all the time? If we observe the history of this world, we see in most of the cases, it is proved true but not in all cases.

In our society, in almost all fields of life, we see its implementation. In politics, in government, in the social sector, in sports, and in all of the institutions. In its presence, the majority of the people have to face a lot of problems, inconvenience, and mental torture. In these circumstances, people cannot lead productive or even peaceful life. A positive pressure is a must in a successful life but negative and undue pressures affect negatively.

There is only one, who has the real Might. All others, who have might are under His Jurisdiction. They must try to follow Him in this regard. If it is followed, then this might can be called Right. If they try to do it, their might will be a right might and will be good to best. Right might is always justified and may produce positive results. It will help to maintain justice, peace, and happiness in the society. If the case is opposite, the results would be reversed and could be severe.

The history of divine people shows that they do not have worldly power but their power is always right. So without any worldly might, they have spiritual power and it affected the people a lot. If they achieve worldly power as well, due to their justice and spiritual strength, their might was right. They implement their powers with justice and equality. So, they are always successful and followed by the majority of the people.

In the majority of the cases, we see that this rule is working in an extremely negative way. In the world, countries acting as superpowers, are using their might in their interest only. They don’t consider other countries as independent countries. To destroy any country, to achieve their own goals, without any sense of guilt. They don’t respect human lives, women, children, or even patients. If they are, in actuality, superpowers, you have more responsibility to do justice and protect small countries. If you hold this power in a positive way, it will be a great job.

If might is considered as intelligence or goodness, then it is positive. If intelligence is used for the betterment of the society and humanity, then this intelligence or might is the right one. It can also be used to get unjust benefits for ourselves by harming others. This type of intelligence is not acceptable.

The power, might be the power of wealth, the power of social status, the power of religious status, or the power of politics. In general, these powers are used as might in our society. The people having these powers exploit the general public by misleading them or by letting them down unfairly or using political power by force. These all kinds of powers are mighty but not right if used without justice. And It depends upon the people, who have these powers to use it either fairly or unfairly. By using these powers in a positive way, keeping in view the betterment of society and people, these can become a blessing or otherwise can become a curse for all.

Demands Of Patriotism

Patriotism involves loving our homeland with full devotion, love and care. It is a natural emotion found in every citizen of a country. If it is found in the hearts of all the citizens, demands of patriotism will be the most precious thing for any country. For making a country good to best, patriotism can play a vital role. 

Patriotism refers to the passionate love one has for their country. This virtue pushes citizens of a country to work for their country selflessly and make it better. A truly developed country is made up of true patriots.

Throughout history, patriots have acted to help end slavery, to promote women's suffrage, to protect the civil rights of all citizens, to achieve economic opportunities and to promote numerous other social justice causes. In different countries, different kinds of tasks are performed by the people with patriotism.

Patriotism is a virtue of citizens which may flicker, according to the demand of time and the issues faced by any country. In times of crisis, patriotism unites us. We put our differences aside to help our countrymen in need. This time is the golden time when the patriotism of the citizens of a country changes the fate of their nation.

We all must know the ways to manifest our patriotism. One way is to utilize our right to vote. This is our supreme responsibility, which requires us to be motivated to use this right with honesty and responsibility. We must be free from our personal interests and consider only the betterment of our country. We must be loyal to our country and never do anything that may harm our beloved country or people. We must give our best to our country. The rules of it must be our honour. We must pay our all taxes honestly.

We can show our Patriotism in all roles we occupy in society. As students, we must be hardworking and disciplined in our studies. As a teacher, we must be more responsible by performing our good to best qualities and must show our patriotism by our all acts. In this way, we can automatically be inserting it into our new generations. As a parent, we must have a very vital role to grow such children, whose hearts are full of patriotism, in this way, we can save the future of our country.

Patriotism is natural in some people while in others it can be developed. It can be developed consciously. A sense of patriotism is required for the well-being and development of a country. It is very important to develop it in ourselves.

Patriotism allows a nation to take pride in the country's past, present and future achievements. When we feel patriotic about our country, we are better placed to stand and rise against the differences that harm and devalue our country. To establish it we must be active citizens by taking part in politics in a positive way, doing our jobs with devotion, paying our taxes, celebrating national events, praying for it and sacrificing for the betterment of our country. These types of citizens are the true credit to a country.

Self-Talk Is Really Meaningful

Human beings remain busy all the time in doing something. We usually are thinking about us or our related people and different issues we face. In all these, we do self-talk. We deliver different messages to ourselves continuously. We struggle in our lives to make it from good to best and our positive self-talk can play a vital role in it. 

 

Self-talk is our internal dialogue. It's influenced by our personality, our social and economic conditions, our family background, our past experiences and believes. It reflects our mindset, our ideas about life, our aims and motivational level.

 

Self-talk is something we do naturally throughout our waking hours. If we are doing positive self-talk, it is a powerful tool for increasing our self-confidence, enhancing our motivational level and making us more productive.

 

Self-talk really works. We cannot stay thoughtless anytime. We are sending some messages to ourselves all the time. These messages are so important in our lives and our future lives are dependent on these messages. These can uplift us and can degrade us as well. So, self-talk is of prime importance in our lives. We can analyze our self-talk and then we can change it in the desired way. The good news is that we have a choice in how we talk with us. It will require some conscious effort and practice.

 

In our lives, there are so many situations, when we feel down and discouraged. It is a common practice. If we want to get rid of that feeling, we have to change our self-image by changing our self-talk. In this way we can take help by reviewing our past examples of successes and happiness. People around us can also boost us.

 

Positive self-talk is an effective stress reduction tool. It is also used in psychology as a therapy. People with behavioural issues can change their lives only by changing their self-talk with the help of professional psychologists. From correcting negative thoughts to coping during difficult times, positive self-talk changes lives.

 

In our general lives, we must do some struggle with our negative self-talk. In this way, we can change not only our feelings but change the direction of our lives. Some positive self-talk can be like: I am worthwhile and my thoughts and feelings are valuable or I am grateful for my healthy body and healthy life or I must be kind with me and with others, to make them happy. In this way we can improve our scenario, positively.  This will be a great blessing for us and the world around us.

Loyalty: A Valuable Quality

Loyalty: A Valuable Quality means to be faithful to one’s commitments and obligations. It is vital for our different relations, which are meaningful to us. In making our lives from good to best loyalty can play a vital and crucial role. 

 

Loyalty is an important component in relationships, whether romantic, familial, social or otherwise. It can help build stronger bonds and create social support. Loyalty can be fostered by being honest, supportive, respectful, appreciative and caring. Loyalty is the ability to put others before yourself and stick with them in good times and bad.

A loyal person will value honesty above everything else and this is the primary trait. A loyal friend may not agree with you on every matter good or bad. We must never be pretentious. A loyal person will always let you know the truth even if the opinion does not match with yours. If we show our loyalty to someone, who is the enemy of our country, then our loyalty to our country will be compromised, which is not acceptable. The main attribute of any person is honesty. If honesty and ethical correctness are compromised, then loyalty is of no use.

It is hard to define loyalty, but very easy to recognize it. Loyalty is valuable because it allows us to take the risk of predicting the actions and behaviour of people we trust. One may not always correctly decide who to be loyal to, and some people may even disappoint us or deceive us. There are some traits which can help us to judge a loyal person like:

1. Honesty. A loyal person will value honesty and it is the primary trait.
2. They stand with you in all circumstances and take a stand for you.
3. They always respect their boundaries, are religious, and ethical and remain patriots. 
4. They cannot be jealous of anyone. They celebrate the success of their related people.
5. They have a positive attitude towards life.
6. They invest in their relationships. They don’t only provide verbal service, they practically invest something valuable into it.

The meaning of loyalty in a relationship implies being fully committed to a person without cheating. If we are not honest with someone and cheat him by suggesting dishonestly. Then we are not loyal people. A loyal person is selfless. He does not leave his loved ones in terrible conditions alone. He stands with his loved ones in all conditions, good to worst.

We must be loyal to all our relationships, with our family, our professions, our relatives, our neighbours and our country. The first and foremost thing is honesty. It mustn’t be compromised in any case.

Do Positive And Spread Positivity In Your Surroundings

Everything has many shades, different from each other. If we consider the brighter one, then we feel better. To have a life going from good to best, it is commendable to see around us with a positive mind. In this way we not only will do good for ourselves but we will be able to spread positivity in our surroundings.

  

To have a pleasant life is the aim of all of us. How can we achieve this noble aim? It is the crux of positivity around us. We can make a difference by changing our attitude somewhat in a positive way, on different levels.

 

Positive vibrations can bring you, and others, happiness and satisfaction. Positive thinking welcomes more positivity into your life and nourishes the spirit. Having hope and faith that positivity can exist and believing in the possibility of a positive outcome. So, we can behave accordingly, the easiest way is by giving a smile, it can give a positive signal to others and brings happy feelings. Another way is to give a good compliment, it can do miracles in other’s life. We can send an encouraging message to someone, which can change the mood on a temporary or permanent basis. We also can help others by doing some practical favour or by giving some good advice or at least by saying something positive. One more thing that can help the most is to try to digest others’ negative attitudes and instead of giving the response of the same negative taste, deliver some positive reply. It will be a more challenging one but really will help a lot.

 

This positive change will be helpful in our daily life. We can start with our home, which is our ground level. If we can change our home surroundings by changing our mode of behaviour, it will be the real change.

 

Then our workplace is another point, that matters a lot. It does not matter a lot that at what post, we are working, we can make a valuable change by changing our behaving style. If our post is influential, then this change can work in a dramatic way.

 

We can spread this positivity in all around us by taking these small but very influential steps. We can make other's life more tough and miserable by passing negative and discouraging remarks and we can also try to make other's life easier and more pleasant by passing positive, encouraging and facilitating remarks. The choice is ours. We can decrease the negativity around us and increase happiness, positivity and satisfaction by changing our attitude and way of behaving.
