Inferences III

 I had last published on the blog in December. During this six month-break from blogging, I got plenty of time to observe and hence infer more. Here are eleven such inferences and I plan to publish some more of them subsequently on the blog. Dear reader, I hope you enjoy the read and identify with these inferences as much as I do.  

Everyone has a different way of showing concern.

Loneliness starts becoming solitude when you start accepting yourself.

Optimism should not overpower rationality. If it does, it discontinues being optimism. It becomes stupidity. 

Every event should be seen as an opportunity to learn.

Art is one platform where you are not limited by any restrictions. You really are free to fly.

Having flaws is the best thing that can happen to a person.

Naming people is necessary but comical. Throughout one’s life, one’s prime identifier continues to be just a word.

The joy of falling asleep early and waking up early is much greater than the mere pleasure of staying up till late and waking up late. Yet most of us choose to do the latter. This is but an example of our attachment to lethargy and darkness.

Changing a habit is actually very easy. You just have to train your body and/or mind in a particular manner.

Failure is inevitable and necessary. There’s no doubt about that. However, we must rise above it immediately. It is much harder to cope up if the rise is delayed.

The deeper you go, the higher you reach.

Some More Inferences

The path to perfection does not have a rational destination but a satisfactory one.

The biggest difficulty lies not in working hard to achieve something but in continuing to work hard after the achievement.

There is no room for ego when one realizes that people have different viewpoints and that each one of them is equally right, in its own way, as any other.

Being philosophical is the basic tendency of any person. Each person has a philosophy upon which he/she bases his/her decisions.

What keeps us from excelling is that we don’t realize that we truly are powerful.

The greatest lessons of life are taught to us when we are very young, in the form of short stories. We forget about them for a while and again start believing in them when we start awakening. 

A truly favorite thing is something that the inner – self can flawlessly identify with. It is a lifelong companion.

Some or the other type of commonness of feeling things exists between those who are close to each other.

True victory lies not in showing off your strengths but in accepting your weaknesses.

The first step towards improvement is that you stop lying to yourself by accepting things as they really are.

I once believed in a philosophy, forgot about it and again started believing in it. The philosophy is: Everything is possible.

 

Inferences

Well, as the title suggests these are some inferences about life that I've somewhat arrived at. They may be called Aphorisms. Of course, I realize that living by these is not easy, but I just hope they influence me in a positive way. I hope you too can identify with some of them.

Talent needs courage in order to be efficient.

An idea is like a plant, it dies if it is not nurtuted.

Rationality is a gift to us but very often it is the thing that stops us from fulfilling our dreams.

The main reason behind being depressed is not being where you are destined to be.

It is courage and consistency that makes an extraordinary man different from others.

A human mind can’t do without knowing, it always wants to know more.

Guilt is nothing to be afraid of. Every guilt trip is just an indicator of your improvement. It actually encourages you to improve more.

Ego is the root of all problems. It should be minimized as much as possible.

It is only acceptance that gives you peace.

Religion is but a simplified version of spirituality, it is for the masses.

Science was observed because men wanted reason.
