LEARN TO USE YOUR TIME JUDICIOUSLY AND REAP ITS BENEFITS

Indulgence in gossip is our national pastime and many a time, this only results in wasting our energy. God has given us an abundance of gifts and our obligation lies in making the world more beautiful. We tend to think that the world will change on its own but that doesn’t happen. In the process, we act disinterested and search for an escape route by gossiping. Endless gossips drain out whatever best we have inculcated in ourselves.

But, a few wise among us, instead of taking to meaningless talk, concentrate on tasks with clarity, focus and determination to better their lives. These are the lot who achieve success in academics, scientific and technological pursuits. Earlier, the society was conservative and it didn’t consider it decent for girls to act in cinema. But, some women took the plunge and came out successful after efforts; for instance, Meena Kumari and Madhubala, Waheeda Rehman and Nargis. Singers M S Subbulakshmi and Lata Mangeshkar made their mark in music, despite facing many odds. Living in the men’s world, they reached greater heights and were flag bearers of women’s emancipation. This was possible because they decided to use their time judiciously and didn’t waste free time to gossip. Individuals imbued with common sense and wisdom can make this world a masterpiece, while gossipers will only invite tensions leading to loss of physical and mental health.
