Respect other's opinion


                        Learntalk | Different Ways to Express Your Opinions in English | Learntalk

Different minds, different ideas. This quote is so true, and I have always believed in the fact that everyone on this globe has different perspectives and ideas. And it is our duty to display our emotions and place our opinions on the table at the time of discussion but more importantly listening to others as well. Listening to other’s perspectives, their notions on a certain thing and respecting their opinions is crucial.

You just can’t say that I am right or he’s wrong. It is the way you perceive this world. Your opinions are formed on the basis of your upbringing and the kind of exposure you had in the past. Your opinions develop due to the research you do, knowledge you have and your attitude towards life.

It is not wrong to have different opinions than others. And same goes the other way. It is not wrong if others have different opinions than yours. You must admire everyone’s opinion and you can listen to them carefully and attentively before putting yours. Considering yourself right or better than others is not the correct attitude to live with. Your learning halts when you don’t listen to other’s viewpoints. I am not telling you to follow what they say, but you must have the courage and capacity to listen to other’s viewpoint as well.

People who just speak their own mind and don’t listen to other’s thoughts are weak and insecure. They don’t have the attitude to learn something new. They don’t have the capacity to bear that someone can know better than them. They don’t want to accept the fact that everyone is unique so their viewpoints will also differ.

A mature person will always keep his views in front of others but will always listen to them as well. When you debate about certain things in life, you must be ready to accept the fact that not everyone will agree to what you say. And you don’t express your opinions to others to make them accept your thoughts. It is simply an exercise that we do in our daily life. We encounter different people and we discuss numerous things with them. Arguing on something will not lead you anywhere. Useless heated debates have resulted in broken friendships and relations.

Even if you face an aggressive debater, it is better to remain quiet. Not discussing something or not keeping your viewpoint on something will not pull you down. But debating belligerently and using every point to prove yourself right is not worth it.

So, from next time whenever you discuss something or debate on a certain topic, keep your viewpoint in front of others and listen to their point carefully. Accept everyone and everyone’s opinions.

Love and power to you

What is Independence?

Image
                                        Independence is letting your kids chose their career path. Independence is letting your daughter chose her better half. Independence is letting your wife make as many friends she wants. Independence is letting your spouse work on any project or career he/she wants. Independence is not pressurizing your spouse for having a baby. Independence is not interfering in your family member’s life. Independence is letting your kids live a life they want.  Every Indian is enjoying this day as we got freedom from the Britishers in 1947 on this very day. 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
