Life management

I heard this story long back.....

 Once there was medical student who was just passed out . He was bit worried about his future. Once he was sitting and thinking about how to start with medical practice . Whether that would be successful; suddenly God Yama appeared in front of him. He said that do not worry. You start your practice but if you find me at the feet of the patient; whom you are treating then avoid to accept that patient's case. And if you find me near head of the patient then you accept that patient's case.because surely he will be cured.like you can get success........

     Like this that doctor continue with his practice. He gains name, fame and money too. And one day early in the morning , when he gets up that time he saw God Yama at his feet. Within fraction of a second, he turned and brought his head near to the Yama. This continued for quiet long time then God Yama asked him; how can you do this.

He answered that the day you blessed with the boon , I started practicing this.

God Yama pleased with his behavior and he lived little bit more years ......

Moral of the story is.....One should be very proactive in one's behavior. That is one of keys of living successful life.

This is first habit quoted in the one of the best seller book " Seven habits of the highly effective people".

         You will find many books , magazines, journals and people those who preach on the topic " life management", " how to be successful in life" , " how to be effective leader" and many more. 

      My question to you all is really life is to be managed. Whether one should really set " ultimate goal of the life", or " financial goal of the life" or spiritual goal of the life" . Or we should do SWAT analysis of our own life. We should trained to use our resources to get best out of our life. 

      Last year I read book on Jorge Washington Carver एक होता कार्व्हर (वीणा गवाणकर) . He was negro slave by birth. Means he has no resources. Still he was a legend for Americans. He has invented many things like natural colours, how to take groundnut yield to make land fertile, Tomoto planting, and many many more inventions which uplifted the mankind's living standards. Whether he has taken life management lessons from someone. Or you take example of Mahatma Gandhi, Tilak, Ramabai Ranade and Babasaheb Ambedkar. History is always his/her  story. Which they have lived.

  Life is to be lived. Face the situation with courage make new ways to come out of it.Make right decisions, correct choices and make your own story.

         I would like to share one more story with you all. Once two people only remain one completely isolated island. They are the only human being on that island. They try to find some way to go back that go in vain. They remain there for many years. One of them start getting dried wood from jungle and start making a chair from that. In a few days he makes a beautiful chair from the wood. Because he was a carpenter. And another one make a Nice "Sculpture " from it.After their death many people visited that island just to see creativity of that unknown Artist that " Sculpture" which reflects his perception about life.

   So live life as per your way . Let the people perceive it. But do not craft it as a chair of the carpenter from the above story.
