Debasis Nayak's avatarB +Ve!!

Theme for 2021: “The Ocean: Life & Livelihoods”

The concept of a World Oceans Day was first proposed in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro as a way to celebrate our world’s shared ocean and our personal connection to the sea, as well as to raise awareness about the crucial role the ocean plays in our lives and the important ways people can help protect it.

World Ocean Day

The purpose of the Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world’s oceans.

BUDDHA’S TAKE ON SELF FORGIVENESS

GS's avatarBe Inspired..!!

Forgiveness is a powerful concept that can be incredibly difficult to practice.

Many of us live with guilt from past mistakes or regrets that continue to haunt us, sabotaging our ability to live in the present moment. This is particularly true when we view mistakes as flaws in our character, something that defines us indefinitely. However, the teachings of Buddhism remind us that forgiveness of the self is not only possible, but a transformative practice that can help free us from suffering and move towards a more peaceful and mindful existence.

Buddhism teaches that one must cultivate compassion towards oneself to open the door to forgiveness, instead of drowning in one’s own self-pity. Forgiving oneself is a process of discovering one’s authentic self through mindfulness and reflection. We begin by acknowledging that the past cannot be changed and that dwelling on it only feeds our negative emotions, leading us toward…

SPIRITS

A shot of hope to mask all fears.
A pint of faith to capture tears.
Light appears,
Troubles clear,
Painful years,
Disappear.

A cup of bliss eases the shakes.
A glass of charm is all it takes.
Fix mistakes,
Balance quakes,
Soothing lakes,
Eases aches.

A flask of pride to be kept strong.
A flute of wisdom corrects wrongs.
Joyful songs,
Hum along,
Harmless prong,
All belong.

A bottle of peace helps trauma heal.
A crate of love so all can feel.
Ego peels,
Light reveals,
Bright appeal
Pure and real.

WAKE UP CALLS

GS's avatarBe Inspired..!!

As we get older, many of us begin to realize that life doesn’t always go according to plan.

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we never anticipated, and we may have regrets about missed opportunities or paths not taken. Here are five wake-up calls that people often receive too late in life:

1. Health – One of the first wake-up calls that people receive too late in life is that their health isn’t guaranteed. It’s easy to take our bodies for granted when we’re young and healthy, but as we age, we may experience unexpected illnesses or changes in our health that can be difficult to address. By taking care of our health earlier in life, we can help to minimize our risk of health problems down the line and avoid any potential regrets.

2. Relationships – As human beings, we are social creatures, and relationships are an essential…

LESSONS FROM A NEWBORN

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

Rest. Nap as often as you need;
life can be exhausting – store up.

Cry. Let your feelings be known –
your voice is your saving grace.

Joy is a whole body experience;
immerse yourself in total delight.

Hold on to those who love you;
your survival depends on them.

See the world through new ideas;
you never know what thrills await.

Listen intently when others speak;
they will be your captive audience.

Imitate other. Practice until you
have found your own expression.

(Image mine)

Trust the process, living fully
in each moment. Be present.

Honour the miracle of existence;
embrace the blessing that is you!

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS NO LEADER IN A COMPANY

Kally's avatarMiddleMe

In a work week, it is not always guaranteed that you will find your boss or team leader at work. They may be busy attending meetings or events or doing their tasks overseas or at

home.

When this happens, what should you do? Do you use the time to take a break? Should you continue with your projects even if they are not around?

Studies have shown that teams will need a leader to stay productive and orderly because when they are not around, here are the things that happen:

– Disorganised Team

One of the most notable things when your team leader isn’t around is the team’s disorganisation. Team members are uninterested in speaking to one another, and it is harder for tasks to be done. With leaders present, they ensure that everyone is on hand with their tasks and be the middleman to speak to each member if…

SAY NO TO TOBACCO

Sand art by Sudarsan Pattnaik

The theme this year for World No Tobacco Day is “Grow food, not tobacco”.

https://www.who.int/europe/news-room/events/item/2023/05/31/default-calendar/world-no-tobacco-day-2023–we-need-food–not-tobacco

Debasis Nayak's avatarB +Ve!!

On world no tobacco day let’s take a pledge : “we will not use any tobacco product ourselves and will generate awareness among others in our community”

It’s quite a sensitive issue when children are exposed to such products in their school days. They follow elders and we can’t blame if we a find a teenager smoking. I have seen small to big signboards and banners at many places with a clear message in block letters. But who cares these ‘no smoking’ warnings. One such board is there in my compound I stay currently. Our colony has several families with school going children. It’s quite harsh to see elders not caring much for the need of others. I don’t know if they don’t understand the need or do not want to understand.

Few public places are no different including our railway compartments. I am sorry to reveal this truth but…
