BE EMOTIONALLY MATURE TOO

1. If someone's point of view is different from ours, and we get annoyed over it, then it shows our emotional immaturity.

2. Some people, who associate any slightest thing with their prestige, respect or gender, with the argument of being overly emotional, are actually immature and others slowly start shunning them.

3. When we keep talking or doing evil behind the backs of people we don't like, it is also the result of our extreme emotional immaturity.

4. Every emotion of life has its importance, like being angry, sad, happy, thrilled etc., which are necessary to be used properly to show our emotional maturity.

5. For a happy, loving and successful life, both heart and mind should be in harmony, without becoming slaves of both, because we are human beings, not robots.

TEACH CHILDREN PROPER RESTRAINED LANGUAGE

1. If you are thinking that your children will learn the right language on their own, then you are thinking wrong, because it is very important to teach them proper language at the right time, so that wrong and bad language does not enter their mind's vocabulary.

2. Always talk to children in a loving language, so that they will see you as a role model and learn to respect good language, and they may even learn to speak a better language than you.

3. For this, bring a change in yourself, because they will then always learn to respect people, talk with love, humility, responsibility, work etc.

4. Talk to children precisely and directly in easy words, because they will not understand what is said by twisting it in difficult words.

5. If children use harsh or abusive language in front of you, stop them immediately, because it is also your responsibility to teach them to talk politely.

6. If the children have learned wrong language, then without blaming them, make them realize how sad you are by their use of such language, because by doing this they will change themselves emotionally and will choose the right direction on their own.

ALWAYS ADOPT GOOD HABITS AT YOUR WORKPLACE

1. Persons with good conduct and good qualities in their field of work earn good success, happiness, peace and prosperity in life, while those who adopt bad habits keep craving endlessly for them.

2. Never leave the side of truth, because even if success is achieved by resorting to lies for small selfishness, it does not remain permanent and you have to face slander sooner or later.

3. Any such work is always successful in which the spirit of cooperation is involved, because your success is very much dependent on the support of colleagues and your group too.

4. Since having one quality is not enough for success, the more information you acquire related to your field of work, the more the quality of your work will improve.

5. Apart from this, you should also be a part of training programs in other related areas apart from your core work, which will increase your efficiency and reduce your dependence on others.

6. Always remember that it is forgivable to fail in an effort, but it is unforgivable not to even try to be successful.

DON'T IGNORE HOUSEHOLD DUST

1. Around 360 types of dangerous toxic substances can be present in household dust, and sometimes it can be more toxic than outdoor dust.

2. One third of this is due to weather, climate and different types of materials used in house construction.

3. All food items made, or rotting, in the kitchen, insects eating them, carpet dust and fiber, cotton coming out of clothes and bedding etc. are also part of this dust.

4. Most of the dust is produced from furniture, sofas, mattresses, blankets, clothes, newspapers, books, and footwear.

5. This dust also contains bacteria, viruses, fungal spores, plant fibres, leaf tissues, microscopic organisms and their excreta.

6. In homes with pets, their fallen hair and dead cells also add to this dust.

7. About 30 lakh people die every year from such household dust, and about 5 lakh of them are Indians.

What to do?

1. Get every water leakage in the house fixed immediately.

2. For movement of clean air, keep windows open.

3. After dusting, wipe the surface with a wet cloth too.

4. Occasionally clean chairs, sofas, curtains, bedding etc. with a vacuum cleaner.

5. Keep mattresses, rugs, carpets and bedding in the sun from time to time.

6. In place of carpets and rugs, use wooden floors, tiles etc.

7. Keep plants or flowers in open places only.

8. Do not allow pets in the bedroom.

9. Always cover your mouth while dusting.

DON'T HESITATE, SHOW COURAGE

1. Continuing with our fixed ideas, we often close the door to many new things, whereas welcoming them will give us opportunities to learn a lot.

2. We hesitate to move forward on any new path because we believe that this work is far beyond us, whereas with a little change in the way of our thinking, everything is possible.

3. If we are not able to control any of our fears, or we are afraid to go ahead in any field, then we should also take help of experts.

4. Within our society, we will find many such people who are setting up examples by their perseverance, courage and hard work, and from them we can get inspiration for ourselves to be able to take the initiative to do new things.

5. We all have our strengths, and our shortcomings too, so we should assess ourselves keeping both of them in mind, and expect from ourselves as much as we can.

6. Success or failure is a part of any process, but the most important thing is an honest try from our side, so give enough importance to efforts, and think how we can improve our skills.

ALWAYS KEEP LEARNING NEW THINGS

1. You may have completed formal education, but never let your learning process stop, be constantly aware of new developments, and keep increasing your knowledge.

2. The world is changing rapidly, so stay up to date on what's new in your field of work, by attending professional development and specialized training courses, as these will help you build your career.

3. Connect with good people to explore as many avenues as possible, build contacts with them to exchange information, and also take advantage of professional networking social sites.

4. During your work, if someone has said something on your flaws, then do not take those things to heart at all, and do not give your reaction on them under any condition.

5. If possible, try to improve yourself by listening carefully to such comments, because this will increase your confidence.

YOUR ATTITUDE IS THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS

BEFORE TALKING

1. A healthy dialogue and conversation can be established between two people only when both patiently listen to each other.

2. For a good conversation, it is necessary to take care of each other's feelings and agree with his views and opinions, otherwise if one person interrupts, objects or opposes everything about the other, then there cannot be a healthy conversation between the two.

3. Before saying something bad to someone, never forget that it can have a strong reaction, so it is important to be polite to each other, whether mutual agreement is eventually reached or not, because it matters more that it does not adversely affect our minds.

4. Often we do not understand someone's behavior or action efficiently during a conversation, as a result of which we are not able to focus ourselves on the topic of our conversation and what we really want to convey.

5. Therefore, during the conversation, present everything related to yourself truthfully, skillfully prove any allegations leveled against you as baseless, and try to resolve the problem according to the situation without losing your temper.

DON'T TAKE AWAY A CHILD'S INNOCENCE YOURSELF

1. Elders at home often talk disrespectfully about those people in front of small children, whom they otherwise show respect when they are in front of them, as a result of which a situation of confusion arises among children.

2. Eventually, children start following in their footsteps and behave the same way with people, due to which they lose their innocence at a very young age.

3. Similarly, children also learn to discriminate people by caste, poverty, religion etc., from their elders and become insensitive towards them.

4. If we want children to be sensitive towards relationships and maintain their innocence and sentimentality, then we should not fill their minds with our own preconceived notions.

5. We should never forget that man is a social animal and he tends to follow people ahead of him.
