Self confidence is Must

 Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It means you accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. It is possible that one may have confidence in one area but lacking in the other one. One can be good and confident in his managing qualities but not in academic performance or vice versa. It is also possible that one can be confident in writing in an expressive way but not in speaking impressively. A healthy sense of self-confidence is all about having a balanced view of yourself — taking pride in your abilities. While recognizing your flaws, but an important fact is that self confidence is must for a successful life and our journey towards good to best must continue.

Developing skills, in this regard, always leads to increased confidence. So, if we try to improve our main areas related to our social impression and performance, it will help a lot. It is usually said that the first impression is the last impression, but we can change our impression in a good way by practicing our positive behaviors. In this way, we can create a new impression for ourselves.

Confidence helps us feel ready for life's experiences. When we're confident, we're more likely to move forward with people and opportunities — not back away from them. It's the opposite when confidence is low. People who are low on confidence might have good capacities, have weak goals, and might be less likely to try new things or reach out to new people.

It will be beneficial to know how one can improve the level of his confidence. Some of these can be:

1. Don’t compare yourself with others. Everyone is unique, having unique personality traits and abilities. So try to improve your lifestyle in a positive direction.
2. Surround yourself with positive people. Positivity creates positivity and vice versa. People having encouraging talk will help you to move farther and discouraging one can do the opposite.
3. Practice positive self-talk. It will help a lot in achieving your goals. If we pass positive and encouraging messages to ourselves like “I can try this task”, “I will be successful in examinations with some effort” or “Like in the past, I will perform better in future”. On the other hand negative self-talk like “I have become aged, I cannot do this as I could do in the past” or “It is looking so difficult to talk before the whole class”. In this way, we are discouraging ourselves. It will affect our future performance. 
4. Be kind to yourself. Don’t feel bad about small mistakes.
5. It will be more positive to face your fears than to avoid them. If you try to face it and try to overcome it by practice, it will help a lot.
6. Take good care of your personality by having a vivid observation of our good and bad impressions. We can improve it by changing our outlook, by improving our hairstyle, our dressing, our talk, and our attitude towards others. We can do it by conscious efforts to improve our impression, which can boost our confidence level. 

On the other hand, there is the feeling of over-confidence. It is a biased way of looking at a situation. You can have more confidence in yourself, without having any special one, which can have negative effects in most situations. When you are overconfident, you misjudge your value, opinion, beliefs, or abilities, and you have more confidence than you should.  A downside to overconfidence is that it can actually cause you to make more mistakes. You can lead to losing money from poor investing decisions, losing the trust of people who rely on you or wasting time on an idea than you would if your ego was more balanced.

Improving our own confidence is good for us and for the people around us. To encourage other people and make them confident is a good attitude that makes others more successful in their lives. Confident people are always good people, good fathers, good mothers, and good citizens.

Perception Matters

Perception includes the sensations and meanings we give to them. It refers to how we interpret the such as people, things, or events. Our perception is important because it is the driving force behind our reaction to something. We act according to our perception regarding our relationship and situation. Our perception matters can affect our whole life and our positive perceptions can lead towards good to best life.

Reality is based on different facts that are considered differently on the basis of their mindset and perceptions. One incident happens, but different people take it differently. So many factors can affect our perception like heredity, religious beliefs, needs, peer group, interests, and expectations. 

Every person has the same sensations, which are the basis of our information receiving. When in this factual information our personal information is added, then we take that fact in a different way and sometimes it is totally varied from person to person. This personal understanding is called perception. 

Our behaviour is based on our perceptions. We act and react according to it. One of the most influential factors is religious affiliations. Religious beliefs are usually blind. It is very difficult to change these beliefs. These have a very strong impact on our lives and perceptions as well. Our whole lives are based on these beliefs, our daily routines, our rituals, our jobs and our habits depend upon these perceptions.

Perceptions also depend upon our personality characteristics. Positivity and an optimistic approach create positive perceptions, these result in a good attitude and finally nice behaviour. This hierarchy of positivism is required everywhere.  

Ambiguity around us results in vague perceptions. The clarity in the situation and an unbiased mindset can create favourable perceptions. More than this ambiguity, negativity is also there which can be resulted in wrong perceptions. So, we must try to make our minds more realistic and positive. In this way, we can make our attitudes and perceptions, more acceptable and desirable. 

For making our surroundings easier and softer for others and for ourselves, we need to do some effort in creating some goodness around us by building positive attitudes resulting in good perceptions. This change will ensure a better place where we can live a successful life.

What We Know Is A Drop, What We Don’t Know Is An Ocean - Isaac Newton

 This realistic and meaningful and meaningful quote is showing the importance of obtaining knowledge, throughout our lives, and the endless journey of achieving new things. In fact it is the key to success and an excellent way to make our lives from good to best.

This quote was so realistic at the time of the great scientist Newton and at the present time, it shows its relevance and correctness with more precision. There is specification and specialization in all fields of life today. Knowledge has become so vast that we could not imagine some years back.

May this be a specific mindset, about self-image or it can be a personality trait. Some people after knowing a little, think of themselves as very literary ones. This may reflect a shallow thinking style that is against the reality.

 

Another mindset can be that nobody can know everything, especially in this period of specialization. Every field has its own findings and facts. If someone gets knowledge of his area, he can be considered a knowledgeable person in that field, not of all ones. In other words, this is the confirmation of Newton’s conception.

 

The human mind is a very complicated organism, having unimaginable capacities. It is discovered that humans can use a very less portion of their capabilities. So, we can get and store much more information in our minds. It means humans can have an unlimited quality of getting more knowledge. This again confirms the truthfulness of the quote.

 

To cut it short or the crux of this quote is that we can learn new knowledge in different fields of life around us. This is an unlimited treasure of knowledge, which we can achieve, according to the level of our effort or struggle. So, this is an endless journey, which has no end and this quote represents this undeniable fact. Those who try to gain from this ocean according to their struggle can get as much as they can.

Value Of Time

Time is a precious asset. If we use it in a good way, it can make us special. The other way round, we can lose a lot. So, we try to manage our time in such a way, that our priorities must be fulfilled in a better way. To make our lives from good to best, we have to have better options and try our best to achieve them by knowing the value of time.

Time management is an essential part of our lives. It is also related to our age and maturity level. Some people start it in their early years and some start in their adult lives but some start it never. It may be dependent upon our family traditions, personal exposure and the life conditions we have to face. Those who control their time, usually get the most and those who are controlled by time, don’t have this opportunity.

In history, we find many examples of people, who managed their time in a better way and they became giants in their fields. Many scientists like Charles Darwin, Benjamin Franklin, and famous writer Charles Dickens are some of the examples. Our Muslim Scientists like Ibn-e Siena, Ibn-ul –Hashem and so many others. 

Time management provides us with many plus points like good performance, better level of satisfaction and relaxation, lower down stress and feelings of confidence and happiness in life. To achieve this valuable target, we have to adopt some strategies like:

•  Make a list of daily tasks intentionally. Haphazard efforts and hard-works cannot produce more positive results.
• Minimize distractions by foxing on your priority tasks.
• Try to focus on one thing at one time. In this way, we can produce better results.
• Review the whole day in the end, honestly. It will help to improve the quality and quantity of our work. In this way, we can encourage our own selves and can make better planning for the coming time.

We must re-schedule our lives, at any stage of life we are, for the sake of betterment in our lives. As our lives are the most precious thing we have, our time is also a costly asset. We must be couscous about the two with the same care. In this way, we can change our personal and collective life.

Rubbish Is Cherish

Garbage and rubbish are global issues today. There are many departments, working to control this issue. Now the good news is that “Rubbish is not rubbish, it is cherish”. We can use this apparently useless thing as a treasure. By doing this we can make our lives good to best, in many of our life cycles. 

Three words used with R, which made a change in all this: Reduce, Recycle and Reuse. In controlling the issue of billions or trillions of rubbish, on daily basis, we can reduce our garbage by separating it into different parts like kitchen garbage, which can be used in making fertilizers and making gas; papers and hardboards in making paper again; plastic garbage can be used to make new plastic materials. Now it can be used in making oil as well.

In this way, we can do a drastic job not only by reducing our daily rubbish which is a big problem for a home, for a town, for a country and for the whole world. We can reduce it as mentioned above by distributing it into many valuable parts. The kitchen garbage can be used in making home-based fertilisers for our kitchen garden and the extra can be used by factories, making these fertilisers on a big scale. It can also be used in making gas as shown in the above image. This trend can make our lives easier and more comfortable.

In the same way, paper garbage can be recycled easily. Books and copies of students can be reused and in this way and we can save our natural resources. Plastic and glass can also be reused and can make our surroundings tidy.

So many trillion-ton raw plastic containers are bottles used beside the oceans, which after some time are converted into tiny particles and become the part of the food of fish and other living beings. So, Norway started to clear the oceans and converting it into a material Econyl which is used in textile factories.

Plastic is also reused in very effective ways; in making oil, and new plastic things. In order to extract oil from plastic, it is heated to 400 centigrade. During this procedure, molecules and converted into crude oil, which further can be utilised in different ways.

It is a fact that rubbish is a compulsory part of our lives. To deal with it is not easy at all. We can change our scenario by changing our habits of throwing it carelessly everywhere, by using the latest technology, we can make it an asset. We can make oil, gas, new plastic and paper containers and in the textile industry. In this way, we can change our economy, health conditions and our image.
