The Last Day
Today, September 21 marked the last day of the Summer. The best part we had record high temperature of 102 F depending on which part of Chicago one was…this was not a magnify temperature – it’s actual which is very rare at this time of the year.
Many of us complained about the hot day even though we had a very mild summer. It seems its really difficult to enjoy something these days. What would you readers do if you get one day of 100F?
Magnify Your …..
Magnify Your…I say what and this happens when I am sitting while my son is taking his Violin class on Thursday evening. This magazine interests me … the reason I see the word of the day from the daily prompt and not the whole picture. It’s like Warren Buffet said in his interview…if he is playing bridge his concentration is so high on the game no matter if some _ _ _ _ gal crosses he would not take a look at her. Well, that’s Warren Buffet who is the richest person on the earth who still eats his breakfast at McDonald’s for a dollar or two, drink cherry coke, lives in the same house he purchased for 50,000 USD 50 years back or so and now the value is 650K. This is one example of magnifying life. 
Enough of Warren Buffet and slight deviation from the topic. Hope none of us has to magnify to see the picture as our eye vision be right at 20/20. My story which I was thinking to write before I saw this magazine is:
I thrive to magnify my mind to work on new challenging things and keep it calm on adversity.
I thrive to magnify my attitude which takes me to the right altitude without adding any pride.
I thrive to magnify my gratitude for the people who have been directly or indirectly helping me by praying for their wellbeing.
I thrive to magnify my nature to nurture the mother earth who we are all guest so we all live a blessed life.
I thrive to magnify my integrity so that I keep doing things even if no one is looking at it.
I thrive to magnify my faith in the GOD for providing me the strength for all the deed and HIS directional help.
I thrive to magnify my youth energy in all phases of my life.
Teacher knows the best
It’s a first day of the Kindergarten and teacher is trying to do old school theory by listening to her students…telling who is who.
The Class Teacher and 5 students are there and here is a situational question for them:
No matter how clean is your home, if you drop a small piece of breadcrumb…the possibilities are you home would be invaded by an insect said the teacher. The idea is not to drop…even if you drop, make sure it is cleaned.
What would all do about it?
All of them raise their hands to answer this situational question.
Cathy said, ” Clean it as fast as we can.”
Raul said, ” If you find instect…broom the area and relocate them to their places”
Ursula mentioned, ” Untidy invites unwanted guests and you have to push them out of the home”
Mark told, ” Move out and let bugs finish the crumb…and they will go back to where they came and don’t make a mess again”.
Bobby said, ” Blow it hard”.
The teacher was happy with all the answer reason…when these kids open their mouth on their first day of the school…she could relate to their parents as she has been friends of all the parents.
Moral: Kid(s) may not look like their parents…but when they open their mouth to answer/ask/arguments/discussions – you can see yourself( in this case teacher could see all of her friends) in them. As they say, kids may not be listening to you but they are observing you…don’t let those bad crumb fall on them!
If I keep…
Exercise:
If I keep my exercise plan tentative…chances of doing is minimal and even if it happens the outcome would be not as effective.
Writing:
If I keep my plan of writing tentatively…chances of good writing with a grip of interest which the readers can hold is grim.
Meetings:
If I keep my meetings tentative…chance of attending is minimal.
Parents:
If I keep my plans for visiting my parents tentative…other things take priority and dates keep pushing.
Financial:
If I keep my plans for revising my financial goal tentative…someone will have more returns on their investment.
If I keep all my tentative away…the outcome is pure bliss.
Bestow Glory
Once upon a time, a man sold his scooter to travel to find the roadmap on how to bestow glory in this life. After traveling many miles empty stomach in jungles he found eight meditating saints and from each by sitting in front of them gathered the mantras.
When lost…the mantra is to know thyself and help oneself to bestow glory moments and here is the roadmap. The man not only got his scooter back and also purchased all means of transportation where he could help other selflessly.
The 8 Glorious Mantras are:
- Good to Great – Work towards it.
- Larger than Life – Live your life every day! If you take out the negativity from the equation that leads to more creativity.
- Off to On- Don’t let your mood downgrade you. Meditation helps.
- Rag to Richness – Many are examples and you can be too
- Insufficient to Improvement – Prove your worth!
- One to One Hundred – The value of zero is more after 1’s.
- Uninterested to Up-and-coming: Research on the subject.
- Selfish to Selfless: Once you are bestowed with glory…be a directional help to others.
Number Talks
Two Highlights from last week…instant gratification in the Digital World.
1. On a mission and its Writing…103 Likes on a single day- the World where I don’t know any of you personally is reading my WordPress, “Train Today to Reap Tomorrow”. Thank you so much for a record high like on a single day.
2. The Garmin overall 3rd position in 100k challenge steps in a week…it was only possible because of training for Chicago Marathon.
Talking of Marathon ( Half, Full, or 5K)…I still remember my first Half Debut Wisconsin Marathon in 2013.Wisconsin Marathon registration is open and I have signed it today on a very first day. Requesting readers to come and run…if it’s your first or 10th – You will love it. It just takes 12 weeks of training for Half Marathon and you will love yourself more upon touching the Finish line!
Bottomline: One like a time will make it to 100, so is one step will make it to 100,000.
Stating Obvious
We all know when a honey bee sting a person…it dies after – thus it’s a loss for the World, bee family, and a pain for the person.
The similar anecdotes which come to my mind are from Budda – Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
And, I suffice this by the photo I clicked this evening from a store where I could see two things…the beautiful sky outside which looked like a fire and a fire extinguisher next to the door.
Bottomline: Don’t do something which harms your life, anger is one letter less than danger, and see the bigger picture.
