15 Inspirational Content By Ansuman Bhagat
This content is taken from the book "Your Own Thought".
1. Reality
In this world, a human is the only creature whose reality is difficult to understand. It is not appropriate to understand that all the components present in the world reflect the reality of each other. Does the reality of a person depend upon the events occurring in our lives or on the future?From a regular perspective, it is not possible to understand it completely because it changes with time.
2. Success
Success does not only mean earning a big name and big money, but by garnering faith and dignity in people towards yourself. In today's era, those cannot be considered successful who are known only for their name or work. Whether it is the Prime Minister of the country or a very big industrialist, unless he has earned faith and respect in society, it is useless to build such an identity in the society.
3. Discrimination
Discrimination starts from the creation of religion and caste. Rules made by the government in the country today have remained only for nominal reasons. There are many such laws relating to caste even today which create a notion of discrimination among people, in the country and outside. Even today, people suffer from riots founded on casteism.
4. Value of Time
The time of any organism begins with its birth. The significance of time in our life is quite much, because the death of that creature is also finalised at the time of its birth. We don’t know when this will happen, so we try to fulfil our desires and needs within our lifetime. Otherwise, time does not stop for anyone, neither is it anyone's love. Therefore, it is said that waste of time is the waste of both money and life.
5. Meaning of God
Man has created many Gods in relation with his religion and caste, which is why there are many superstitions being followed in the society today. When a child falls sick, he is taken to a temple, where man made images and statues are worshipped, instead of a clinic or a hospital.
In reality, the word ‘God’ holds such positive power, but is used to create fear in the minds of people because this power has created the world. Therefore, we should worship God only for peace and to understand the truth, not to spread blind faith in people.
6. Self-identity
Everything in this world is identified by its colour, form and name. When a child is born, his family gives him a name as an identity, so the people may know who he is. But it is not enough for someone to be identified by his name only, for it is known only by his family or the people living nearby.
Self-identity however pertains to fame, such fame that makes people believe in you, and your name is known in the society as belonging to a good person in the entire society. This is when you get a complete identity and it makes you feel good.
7. Life's Ambition
The life of a human is quite distinct from that of other living beings. It is said that the power that created human life, did so after deep and intensve thought, although the other living beings were also created by that same power. In the present times, we have given this power the name of God.
Life does not mean living only for oneself, but by selflessness, in helping others. As much as we do for ourselves, if we take some time to help others, it will make us feel good. There is a sense of selfishness in it too. This life is full of selfishness, but if we want, we can make the best of it to benefit from it, and draw the best meaning out of life.
8. Destructive Anger
A decision taken in anger always proves to be wrong. It is natural for everyone to get angry, whether it is a child or an adult, but we should consider the fact that anger affects both our physical and mental health. This is why one cannot take a good decision when angry and curses oneself later for one’s mistakes. In such situations thus, remaining quiet proves to be the best decision. We should keep our anger in check because it gives us stress which reduces our ability to think and understand and depletes our knowledge. Anger translates to punishing yourself for the mistakes of others. This is why we should meditate to keep our anger in check.
9. Hard work
From a common man to a rich one, everyone in this world needs to work hard to earn their living or make their days better. Hard work is a compliment in itself, and hard working people always attain a high standard with their hard work. However, people who avoid working hard end up being a burden in this world and never achieve success. Then there are some people who work hard but are too impatient for the results. Such people should have patience and think only of the hard work they are putting into something. Just as a raw stone is made into a beautiful statue with hard work, nothing is impossible for a human to achieve if he puts all his hard work into it.
10. Childhood
Nobody should forget their childhood. It is a time when one doesn't know the right from wrong, not truth from lies. As we grow up, we come to know about a lot of things, but we also keep forgetting moments from our childhood. Childhood is selfless. At this age, we unhesitatingly ask for that which we want, while we are also taught to unhesitatingly give if something is asked from us. When we grow up, however, we forget the value of such things and go on with our lives. Childhood is indeed the one true and valuable time of one’s life, the self-less essence of which should be carried on in one’s life.
11. Knowledge
Just as the sky and the sea have no boundaries, knowledge has no boundaries either. We can go on increasing our knowledge as much as we want throughout our lives. Gaining knowledge is not limited to getting an education, as it is important to gain all forms of knowledge available in the society that we live in. This makes us aware of the people in our society and their way of life, and cultivates respect in us towards them. We may acquire a lofty stature by means of our educational qualifications, but shall never be able individuals so long as we don’t hold respect in our hearts for the fellow members of our society. Knowledge grows when you share it. Many people do not believe in sharing knowledge, fearing that it would diminish their own standing, but this is a huge misconception. One can snatch bread from your hand, but not knowledge because it resides within you. Even after death, your body leaves, but your knowledge always accompanies you.
12. Cultural Values
In today’s era, cultural values have been reduced to just pretence for people. Many employ them to be called good, so that they may appear respectable and scrupulous in front of others. All such things eventually lose meaning because when we are unable to hold respect in us for others, we are not worthy of being called rich in cultural values. Such values should make a home in us right from the beginning, and not appear for the sake of just pretence. If we have these values in us from the start, we would not need to show or tell about them to anyone. They become apparent on their own. A tray of egg is supposed to contain eggs, but if we keep an apple in it, our gaze will first be attracted to it. Similarly, we should cultivate only good cultural values in us, and learn them from the elders and other family members around us.
13. Attachment
Attachment refers to the relationship shared between two people, which is how they remain connected to one another. Similarly, feelings of attachment are shared between humans becuse of which we remain connected with friends, families and even the environment over long periods of time. Usually, when we have lived in a place for a long time and then are required to leave it suddenly, we feel lonely. The main cause of this is the attachment. It could be shared with anything or anyone in the world. One usually feels the most attached to one’s parents and family members, whom we can never bear to see being separated from us. This is why we should always respect our parents and family members. If you feel greatly attached to someone, do not let them go away from you, because distance weakens attachment.
14. Death
Thousands of people succumb to death in this world everyday. So many people have their houses destroyed, many shed tears for those who have departed. All of this happens due to the attachment they share, but everything becomes okay after some time. Whoever takes birth in this world has to die one day or the other. It is an undeniable fact. To hurt yourself over the memory of somebody who has died is not appropriate. Nobody knows what the afterlife consists of, but while we are alive, we should enjoy the happiness of this world. Our life is invaluable and is given to us only once. It doesn’t return for anybody beyond the threshold of death.
15. Hearing and Listening
God has composed the structure of the human body with considerable thought, which is why we consider ourselves different from other living beings. Eyes, mouth, nose, ears and skin are our sensory organs, and the ear is used particularly to hear sounds. The nature of a human, however, holds distinction between hearing and listening. We might hear the sounds of various activities and events taking place around us, but when we closely listen to sounds and understand the meaning behind them, as with words, it is different from just hearing, and is called listening. It is necessary to feel and understand a sound by listening to it clearly. By listening carefully, our ability to think and understand increases. We learn more by listening to others than by simply talking.
1. Reality
In this world, a human is the only creature whose reality is difficult to understand. It is not appropriate to understand that all the components present in the world reflect the reality of each other. Does the reality of a person depend upon the events occurring in our lives or on the future?From a regular perspective, it is not possible to understand it completely because it changes with time.

What do most people think?
Most people think of others to make themselves first, how they can improve themselves as someone else.
But there are some people who can improve their self and give their life a better place.
Those who know that we do not need to see and test somebody to make ourselves, but first we need to refine ourselves. Generally it is not just about everyone but it makes us different from the ordinary person and hidden in us pulls out talent.
