An inspiring personality.

Do you want to be a source of inspiration or a simple role-model? Feel free to question yourselves- Are you one of those people who have the same common misunderstandings among one another? Are you the type who wouldn't look onto yourself before changing others? Are you someone who would take offence easily? Someone who thinks they’re the best in the community? 

In this phase of life, a human being ought to face various problems. At times, they’d pass comments on others which might be inappropriate. Often, people will just be proud of their qualities and forget they should still look for defects. Or even a nakhrey wali wife would suspect her mother in-law for something unusual. (StarPlus all the way!) Anyway, in my eyes, an inspiring person is he who has a diamond-like personality. Someone who would do wonderful things and not brag. Someone who’s willing to change for good. On a deep study of proverbs, I have been influenced by the ‘truth’ that has been laid into them. As you read below, you’ll realize how simple thinking matters the most. Get ready to add loads to your to-do list.



-  You can conquer the whole world with words but not with drawn swords. Kind words ward off enmity and grudge, and also mend broken hearts. Ask a man, ‘’what do you want?’’ and his answer will not be friendly. Ask him, ‘’what can I do for you?’’ and the reply will be mild and friendly. Kind words keep the heat light. One can conquer the world by saying kind words, never with battles or wars.

- You can’t tell a book by its cover. Only a deep study helps one evaluate, not just merely looking on something. Judging a book by its cover is like taking things on their face value, and you do realize it is not the right assessment. The cover design on some books can totally be irrelevant, but attractive. To judge a book, the synopsis/summary on the book cover helps to some extent. To judge a book whether it is good or not, one must read it carefully and the same is true in assessing fellow humans. Don’t speak about them unless you’ve known them for a long time that’s enough to judge a person.


- You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs. Nothing can be achieved or gained without taking the necessary steps, however difficult or unpleasant they are. Making an omelette requires certain steps. For example, first to hold the eggs carefully and lightly tap them to break them open. (I’m guessing why I simply just mentioned the first step. Yes, cooking is not my thing) Without treading on the correct path even with obstacles on its way in which one can succeed, you’ll clearly begin to show signs of ‘not-mush-of-a-hardworker’. This is the same as when a farmer cannot reap a harvest without stepping into the slush.


- Listen to that which is well-said even if it is from the mouth of the enemy. Weigh what you hear rather than see from where it originates. People love to air their opinions. These people also include our near and dear ones and at times, our foes too. A well-wisher’s tip need not to be right. At the same time, you rival’s advice need not always be wrong. Weigh both opinions and acts accordingly.

- Little pots soon run over. When people with little knowledge act mature and wise they soon fall flat on their surface. The capacity of little pots is rather less and soon they become full and overflow. However, big pots with a large capacity, take in more but do not run over. Little pots here are compared to men who are less learned but act as if they know it all. Whereas, the wise men like big pots, take in more, but never brag about it.
