People like you because you help them. People like you because they feel happy when they see you. They like you because they feel happy when they think of you. Help people whenever you can. Be nice to people whenever you can. Make them laugh whenever you can. Lessen their sorrow whenever you can. - Narayana Rao

Entertainment is essential for life. Apart from sleep, entertainment relaxes the tired parts of the body, and provides energy to them to renew the economic work. Watching cricket or films is not waste of time, it is appropriate usage of part of 16 hours if we say we have to sleep an average of 8 hours in a day. - Narayana Rao
World of thoughts only provides joy and happiness. Not World of Things. - Swami Sukhabodhananda

“Frequently, when I suggest to people that they detach from a person or problem, they recoil in horror. “Oh, no!” they say. “I could never do that. I love him, or her, too much. I care too much to do that. This problem or person is too important to me. I have to stay attached!” My answer to that is, “WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO?” I’ve got news—good news. We don’t “have to.” There’s a better way. It’s called “detachment.” It may be scary at first, but it will ultimately work better for everyone involved.”

"If you decide to change but don't tell anyone that you are changing it's going to take them really long to pick upon it. Instead tell them ... Now, people would be on the lookout for your changed behaviour and when you do change, people will be more aware of it and give you more credit for doing so."

"The New Year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals." - Melody Beattie

I followed the advice and set up blog related goals. Reading 365 chapters in management around 180 chapters in industrial engineering and 130 chapters in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The going is good for the first three days in the year (3 January)
