Never discuss Religion, Politics and Sports with others

                                                Science says these seven tactics will help you win any argument ...

I have seen friendships falling apart, relatives fighting with each other, people forming bitter opinions about others when they indulge in a war of words over religion, sports and politics.

Opinions about anything are very personal. One must keep his or her opinion sensibly and politely in front of others. You can never enforce your ideology on others. Everyone has their choices and they have the right to form opinions of their choice.

You must only discuss religion, sports and politics if you are a very matured and patient person or you should never do it. We always forget that everyone has the right to form opinions about certain things. When we keep our opinion in front of others, we always think that our opinion is right. It’s not always like that.

Opinions about religion, politics and sports are very personal. It’s based-on one’s liking. I might like Lionel Messi; you might like Neymar. That’s fine, there’s no need to discuss and fight over this issue. There is no need to prove each other wrong. Similarly, everyone has different political ideologies, there’s no need to fight with your friends and relatives over it. Discussing religion is also one of the reasons behind shattered friendships and relations.

Why discuss all these things when they are affecting your relations and friendships. If you are mature enough to listen to others and accept their opinions, it is fine to discuss. If you respect other’s choices and opinions, you can discuss these things. But we all know the truth. Most people are not good at accepting other’s opinions.

So, you must try to avoid discussions on religion, politics and sports with your friends and relatives. There are millions of other things to talk about. Even if you discuss about something with anyone, always remember to respect other’s opinions.

What is Independence?

                                        Independence is letting your kids chose their career path. Independence is letting your daughter chose her better half.

I am always excited on this day every year as my life is seriously connected with the word, independence. I have lived my life on my terms and had the ultimate freedom in making study and career choices. In choosing my better half and in choosing the way I want to live. My father is religious, but I am not. My mother is graduate from a top university, but I am college drop out. I have been lucky in my life

Read books

Image
                                   This is an activity that most millennial's lack these days. I am afraid that reading books will soon be a thing of the past. Books are your real friends. When you need inspiration, you can grab a book and read it. You learn greatly through books. I remember that I was never a good reader. I would read occasionally but in 2015 I got my hand on a book ‘Long walk to freedom’ by Nelson Mandela. The reason I bought that book was that I admired him greatly and always wanted to meet him in person. But this is the story of most of the people, we want to meet our heroes but it’s not always easy. Famous people hardly have time to meet others and some of my heroes are from 18 th and 19 th century. So, meeting them was out of question. Long walk to freedom is an autobiography of Nelson Mandela. It contains more than 700 pages and he has put his heart in that book. While reading famous personality’s autobiography, you feel that they are directly talking to

Get rid of excuses

Image
                                    Majority of people who fail in life are very good at making excuses. In your life you must be good in most of the things you do. But be a bad liar and dishonest in making excuses. People who find excuses to do certain things are enemies of their own. This also weakens the character of a person. People who often make excuses are very unreliable and you can’t depend on them for any important task or responsibility. The most common excuse that people make is "I don’t have time". You’ve got to take out time for everything. If you plan your time smartly, then you will be surprised to see that you have an ample amount of time in your life for everything. There can be situations in your life when you are intentionally avoiding a certain thing. Instead of finding a foolish excuse, just say no. Don’t try to use excuses to escape out of a situation. Be truthful and honest to yourself. You must be very straight forward in your approach. A lot
