Challenge yourself, enhance your learning, gain wisdom

One of the good point about Gandhi Ji was that his mind was restless. He always tried something new, he never was contented with his present. He never thought once in his life that he is settled, at peace and satisfied. I think this is one of the many reasons that he was a great person. He never tried to hide his mistakes/faults. He denied primary education to his children, his elder son was very unhappy with him for this. Unfortunately, this was also one of his experiment with life. But many of his other experiments like cleanliness, ahinsa were globally appreciated and accepted. So, don't stop yourself from experimenting, just because of the fear of failing or non-acceptance by society. I agree there is risk, but risk is there in anything and everything in life, the only difference is our faith in the outcome. We are generally happy in taking those calculative risk, where the results are more or less favorable. Challenging yourself is the best thing a person can do all his life. It also enhances the learning, knowledge, and wisdom of a person. Its quite easy to get into a comfort zone, which also means reducing the challenges and risks. It is obvious that it will be a 'good feeling' zone, but it definitely leads to a stagnant and dull life.

Gumption- a must have to handle life situations. Do you have it in you?

I heard it recently in the movie 'The Holiday', where an elder character suggested the protagonist to have gumption to live a good life. The origin of this word has been mentioned to be of early 18th century (originally Scots). The dictionary meaning of gumption is "shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness". Some of the synonyms which helps to understand the meaning are "initiative, resourcefulness, ingenuity, inventiveness, cleverness, shrewdness, acumen". Another meaning or definition which I personally like is "the ability to decide what is the best thing to do in a particular situation, and to do it with energy and determination". In other words "the strong will and determination to do something". Many a time, in your life, gumption acts as a prerequisite to handle or face a situation, but not everyone is lucky to have it.

DAYS ARE HIGH OR DAYS ARE LOW

Days are high or days are low So are the feelings they actually show Hard or soft, whatever life blow Sadness or happiness, either will grow But, your perception is always dying to bow You never know what life will throw But, deep inside you always seems to know The toughest part is to say yes or no Whether to take it fast or little slow Whether to keep it high or somewhat low Or it's best to go with the flow Days are high or days are low -hari-ar-cane

MS Teams Microphone Issue-Resolved

Covid/Corona is around since a year now and most of us are attending meetings online almost daily. Although some platforms like zoom has become instant success, but others like Webex, MS Teams and Google also got the chance to do decent business. People are appreciating the easiness and user friendliness of zoom, but paying for the service is still not very popular among common mass. With these limitations, and also restrictions from the employer to use one platform, most of us are stuck with one system eventually, although we started with all and got trained in more or less each of them. There is no harm in using one system, but you do faces technical glitches using them. One of the common issue is the mic and speaker problem. I have personally experienced that mic somehow doesn’t work properly in one or two of these platforms. It’s not that the mic has gone bad, but it doesn’t work optimally or equally with all the applications. So, it is embarrassing when you need to speak up in a m...
