Start saying YES whenever an opportunity knocks your door

In life everyone has their own story, their own personal experiences. Some people are so happy with the life they are living or they’ve lived whereas some other people regret at the end about the things that they should’ve done or talks they should’ve said. But it always gets so late, whenever an individual realizes that he must go for it.

Life is simply a collection of opportunities and experiences. Each day, each person has got one more chance to do it, but people basically fall short of their confidence and say No whenever they’ve got the chance to do something different, something unique.

People always get a chance to prove them in either academics or sports. People always get a chance to start their hobbies and pursue their interests. People always have a chance to get their dream profession as their career or chose their passion. People always have the chance to prove their beloved, how they love them. People always have chance to return back to their good old days. It is entirely dependent upon the person that whether he is able to identify the chance or he/she really wants themselves to be the better versions of their selves.

People say that they’re not able to do it because they were never given a chance. But actually, life offered them chance but they were never able to recognize it.

In life, everyone gets the same time and yes almost similar opportunities to prove themselves. Some people are never able to realize that they have got a chance or they got opportunities in past too. Most of the people couldn’t distinguish opportunities. They always lose them either by not recognizing them or saying no whenever an opportunity knocks at the door. They want to stay in their safe and comfortable zone and don’t want to exit it even when something so good knocks their door. Point to be paid emphasis here is that even life events which can damage to our respect, dignity and cause ourselves to get in trouble are sometimes mistaken as opportunities which are needed to be grabbed.

Readers are hereby advised that by keeping their eyes and ears open in true sense and allowing the brain and giving it time to analyze that whichever opportunity is there at their door, is really important for them and will contribute towards their growth. It must be analyzed by an individual that whether the opportunity will cause any type of trouble to him or the opportunity which is right at their door is the one which they’ve always been waiting for or will it take them to their desired destination.

Examples of strong and influential personalities from different fields should be considered as an inspiration for grabbing opportunities at the right time i.e., whenever they knocked their door. Whenever a person is given chance in life to prove himself, to test his limits, to explore his talents, he / she must stay calm and eager to learn and explore and accept the opportunity thankfully and bravely.

That’s why it was rightly mentioned on page named

“A chance to learn something good or change one’s own self should never get wasted because of a bad mood or bad day at work, or at home”.

TO A SKYLARK

“To a Skylark” by Percy Bysshe Shelley is an ode to the “blithe” nature of a singing skylark and how human beings are unable to ever attain that same bliss. In the poem, Shelley addresses a skylark that flies up at a magnificent height and sings so melodiously that the world is entranced and charmed by its sweetness .The skylark is Shelley’s most exceptional natural metaphor for true poetic emotion, the “harmonious madness” of classic influence. It signifies high poetic imagination, virtue, and messenger of peace and progress. The skylark’s song concerns a position of purified existence; its song is driven by the pleasure of that uncomplicated simplicity of life, and is unmixed with any sign of despair or of the bittersweet, as human happiness very usually is.

The skylark’s unrestrained melody pours down upon the world, transcending every other grace making the speaker assume that the bird is not mortal at all, but a “Spirit.” It stands for idealism free from crime, exploitation, and slavery. In the poem, it’s rarely noticed but its deep mellow song helps to evoke the people of the mystical visions of Nature. The bird signifies the sheer, unrestrained happiness that Shelley is frantically seeking. This desperation comes through in the next stanzas. He sees the bird as a “high-born maiden” that serenades her lover below her and spring, or “vernal showers” that rain on the flowers below. The skylark is like “rainbow clouds” and the type of all “Joyous” things. 

Structurally and linguistically, this poem is almost unique among Shelley’s works; its strange form of a stanza, with four compact lines and one very long line, and its lilting, songlike diction (“profuse strains of unpremeditated art”) work to create the effect of spontaneous poetic expression flowing musically and naturally from the poet’s mind. The skylark is happy because it apprehends what makes it happy. It has a chosen advantage over human beings, who know
both what gives them happiness and what causes them unhappiness. They worry about the end because they are unaware of things that lie beyond mortality, among other reasons. The skylark knows what lies beyond death, and feels no concern about it. It is no so shocking that it is exceptionally happy the line “We” pine for things that we do not have, and even our “sweetest songs” are full of the “saddest thought[s].” clearly states it.

The poem ends with the writer soliciting with the bird to “Teach [him] half the gladness / That thy brain must know.” Even that little amount of happiness would give Shelley the capability to produce “harmonious madness” that would force the world to listen to him must as raptly as he is listening to the skylark now. Some critics say that P.B Shelley was not a practical man. He was far away from realism. So his Skylark continuously soared higher and did not come to the earth, like the Skylark of Wordsworth. On the whole, this poem is Shelley’s one of the most excellent works.

Silver Linings of 2020

When we’re all swearing this year to be one of the worst years of the century, and for some, let’s say the worst year of their lives. But as we say, “Every cloud has it’s silver lining” and to some degree, it’s also real. We should think of nature as a result of this lockdown of Mother Nature ‘s healing to a great degree. Many major metropolitan cities used to be heavily polluted for a variety of reasons (certainly all the reasons are linked to homo sapiens only).

According to System of Air Quality Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), there was a 76% decline in the NO2 level concentration, while PM 2.5 was down by 54% as opposed to the same period in 2019.During the lockdown, SAFAR monitored pollution levels in six cities—Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Pune and Kolkata. The study found that Delhi’s PM 2.5 (particulate matter lesser than 2.5 microns) reduced by 39%, Kolkata’s and Ahmedabad’s by 30%, Pune by 25% and Chennai by 11%.

The Times of India

Until now it all may sound very obvious to many of you let me put some content that may sound interesting.

Wonder chicken discovered

The earliest fossil of the modern bird has recently been found, dating back 66 million years — before the age of the dinosaurs. This creature, named “the wonder chicken” by scientists, looks like a chicken from the front and a duck from the back. The discovery brings a great deal of detail to the body of scientific knowledge, telling scientists a lot about the early evolution of the modern bird and opening a discussion about its origin.

Second person in the world to be cured of HIV

A few weeks ago, the second person in the world was cured of HIV. Thanks to stem cell therapy, London, U.K. Resident Adam Castillejo is free from disease. While this treatment is high-risk and still not readily available to patients, Castillejo’s cure gives us hope that a possible gene therapy cure will be within our scope.

There are a few sites now free of COVID-19

While all of us are still terrified by the pandemic, a few areas free of coronavirus offer a silver lining for the future.Lakshadweep having zero cases is a big accomplishment as they depend on Kerala for most of their medical needs.

Apart from New Zealand, Tanzania, Fiji, Vatican City, Montenegro, Seychelles, St. Kitts & Nevis, Timor-Leste, and Papua New Guinea have treated the most recent citizens diagnosed in their countries of coronavirus.

The first in-vitro cheetah cubs to be born

At the end of February, the Columbus Zoo in Ohio announced the birth of the first cheetah cubs to be born from in vitro fertilization. Two cubs, male and female, were born to cheetah Izzy, a three-year-old mother. This feat is a milestone for both biology and zoology and comes as an indication that humans can help those at risk.Species must thrive.

Australia is no longer in the flames
The last thing to rule in the early months of 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic has eventually come to a stop. Australia is no longer on fire; the flames have been lit in New South Wales, the only state to remain on fire since early March. Its trees are now recovering, and new plant life has recently emerged from the fire-ridden landscape. While this is certainly not the end of the battle against the climate crisis, the horrors in Australia have now come to a halt.

Animal Crossing on the Nintendo Switch

Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out on the Nintendo Switch on March 20th, on a less important but still pleasant note. Now, fans of the popular Mario title will enjoy it on the newest Nintendo console. This game has become a worldwide phenomenon, as many see it as a great opportunity to fill their hours with self-isolation. This game is commonly regarded to be extremely relaxing — the idea is basically to go to an island and make a bunch of animal friends to perform simple tasks in return for prizes.

But apart from these commonly known facts and figures, perhaps this year has not proved that bad for students as well. I now may seem to most of us to be a complete blether and jabber, but let me tell you some bizarre things that none of us may have noticed.

Most of us realize what we are capable of doing apart from what we all used to do in our normal lives. We ‘re beginning to recover or develop new or outdated abilities. We began to talk of things that we would never have considered before. Others may start studying, some start cooking, drawing, coding, reading, and more.

I, myself, have learned a lot of things that I just don’t think I ‘d remember if I didn’t have the quarantine time period. There are a lot of skills that you can learn in this period of time, here in this blog I’m just mentioning their name and not the whole story (I ‘d definitely try to write my next blog on this one).

  • Start a blog
  • Learn how to code
  • Digital Marketing
  • Closing a deal
  • Copy writing skills
  • Simulations

This list is endless, and it’s just a few of them that I’m learning as a student. So believe me they ‘re all worth knowing, and you’re going to love studying not all of them, but at least some of them you have to know.

So if we get trapped in our homes and we can’t celebrate holidays or have fun with our friends and loved ones. Guys, let me make it clear that many of us are stuck with the ones who love us the most, clearly our parents and our family. Perhaps, all of us are so stressed that we generally don’t have time for our family, so mostly because of our crazy lives, we don’t even think about it. But after so many years, all of us have our childhood days back and believe me that they won’t come back once this pandemic has passed, so enjoy those moments with them.

And as for those dear ones you haven’t met for months and it seems like ages. The quote describes this well.

“As contraries are known by contraries, so is the delights of presence best known by the torments of absence.”

Alcibiades

There can be no distance from them who we want to be with and who wants to be with you. Without a doubt, this year has taken away a lot of things from us, but it can still give us a lot to enjoy. It tells us a lot, and let’s take that as a year to learn to try to understand the things we’ve never taken care of.

Faith: Is the knowledge that things will get better.

Faith and belief is a way of considering or believing in anyone. Mostly faith word is used for God or any unseen power or any spiritual person. Since its origin of this earth, human used to follow the faith system or God or any blind faith.

People have different faith in different power from time to time. Faith depends upon their belief and understanding. Faith always plays a crucial role in our day-to-day life.

What is Faith?

This word “faith” can be explained in many ways. The meaning of faith is different according to the uses of the word. In a simple concept, we know faith as confidence or belief, which can be on anyone or anything.

Is most of the cases it faith refers to a religious system in the world. In old times and current time, belief and faith are common, and people have faith in God, and some do not have faith in God.

Types of Faith

Nowadays, there are various types of faith and belief in the world. Many religions and non-religious people also have faith and trust in someone. The trust and faith is an idea of believing to anyone without seeing that.

1. Blind Faith

The term of blind faith used when someone believes with no reason and evidence and any logic. There are some reasons on the side but not having any base of that. This is a traditional faith which people follow.

For example, if someone says that this doctor is right, then others will believe in their statement without checking and with no reason. Mostly in blind faith, it happens, and people follow blindly. 

We observe this blind faith in the religious field. If any spiritual leader explains anything to their follower with no philosophy and reason, their followers will trust and trusts him blindly. If anybody raises the cross-question against him, they become an enemy of that person. So it is called that blind faith is perilous.

In Indian reference this is common. We usually see that a person killed someone or his kids as a sacrifice before the idol goddess on the advice of any priest. This is because he has faith in that person blindly. Here, they not used their mind and logic.

2. Religious Faith

We relate this faith and belief to any religion. In this faith, people of a particular religion have faith in their system of religion and its natural or supernatural power. This is a spiritual belief of this faith. There is a unique type of religion in the world. Followers of this religion follow their system and believe in God and its power.

In religious belief, people follow the rules because they have faith. For example, Christians wear the cross symbol mostly because of having faith in it. In Islam, also people use a cap or cover his head during the prayer and having a beard. Women used to wear a unique dress to cover the complete body as they believe in the ruling of a religious system.

Benefits of faith

Faith, whether it is religious faith or blind faith, it has some common positive characteristics which provide the right thing and guidance to the followers. 

1. Increase Unity

If some people or group of people having faith in anything, then their unity increases. They collect at a place on a particular time for any meeting, spiritual conference and teaching classes.

They discuss together and solve the issues related to their belief and their group or community. So we can see it that unity increases the unity between the people.

2. Increase Hope

Hope increases the hope is the key to faith. If faith has its existence, then the hope exists there. Without hope, faith is not valid and meaningless. Followers or believers accept the rules and religious cultures because they see the glimpse of hope it.

Hope is there in many faiths. In blind also people keep their promise. In religious, also people have great faith for their wishes and betterment of the world and humanity.

3. Provides Inner strength

Faith and trust provide a lot of moral support and inner satisfaction and power. The faith and trust provide the opportunity to be selfless and to be helpful for others. The faith offers to the people to see and search for life and the purpose of life. 

Importance of faith 

Faith is essential in life. Nobody can ignore faith. People have faith, and trust in any object, people, natural or supernatural powers, religion. Faith and belief are a natural and God gifted quality and requirement of the human. 

Faith is essential for life. The human came in the world and living here for any definite purpose, and they have the faith they by doing this, they can go ahead. They always keep a hope of faith that this thing will help him or will support him.

Faith is essential for development. Faith is a pillar of growth. If people have faith in any system, they follow the policy of that object conscientiously to fulfill the purpose of that task. Suppose if anybody has the principle that by listening to any poem or verses of any teaching of any religion, then he will seriously with great hope. 

eople in religious faith follow the rules of their religion because of faith. But some people or group of people change the system and rule in the manner as per their wish. Faith is always giving hope and confidence, whether it is blind faith or religious faith.

At last, it can be seen and analyzed that the word faith is interesting and helpful for all of us. Faith connects every person in the world. Any individual, student, Army, spiritual leaders and religious member all are involved in the system of faith.The category or types of faith depends upon the follower. In the world, everybody should have faith and trust. Without this, they cannot live positively, and their life will become worse and hopeless. Hopelessness is a curse.
