SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD TO SAY I DON'T KNOW!!!

By -

Well, we all know that knowledge plays a pivotal role in our lives. This is a gift to the human beings which makes us superior to the other species of the world. Throughout our lives, we keep accumulating knowledge which is really mandatory for our survival. Our life seems brief as treasure of knowledge is immense and enormous. We keep learning some or the other thing deliberately or unknowingly which increases our efficiency and productivity exhaustively. 
I Know This

But the irony occurs when people around us expect from us to know each and everything which is not possible for any of us. This aggravates the situation since gradually we become so pretentious as we start saying "I know this." This eventually gives birth to our habit of boasting off and no sooner do we get a chance, we start exhibiting the level of knowledge. 
What Would Happen if We Start Saying "I Don't Know the Answer"?

Well, folks, why can't we say, "I don't know the answer?" What would happen if we utter this statement in the answer to some question? After all we can’t know the answer to each and every question.
We get Scared
Just think about the entire scene such as few people would laugh at us sarcastically, others may grin at our ignorance, while few more would declare us stupid and would make it the talk of the town. Indeed! We would feel offensive and apprehensive at such a dent on reputation in public  and this thought might ruin our several days replaying the same scene in our minds. 

'I Know' vs 'I Don't Know'

The answer, 'I don't know.' is much better than 'I know.' since if we keep saying, 'I know.' we shut the doors to the new information. I read somewhere that we've become like over-brimming cups which can't be filled with more tea anymore. Similarly, we are not receptive to the new knowledge as our minds are crammed with our existing knowledge.  

We're Curious to Learn 

Well, 'I don't know.' is the expression which shows we're curious to learn and curiosity lays the foundation of a successful life. So, next time, when we don’t know the answer to some question, we can simply say “I don’t know the answer” and believe me this will open a new phase to learning and self-confidence. Why to care for others as it’s our lives and learning should never stop.

Make Peace with Your Regrets!!! Dear Friends, How are you all? What’s new in your lives? Well, friends, a fortnight ago, during a  week-long  motivational session, I happened to meet a person who’s quiet, confident, and impressive persona, and this made him stand out in a crowd. We used to smile at each other from a distance daily, however, due to our busy schedule; we couldn’t get a chance to interact with each other. Apart from that, we, both, had different friend circle and our group discussion sessions were also conducted separately. During our long discussions regarding life, relation, how well we comprehend our relations and a life-changing, horrific accident which he met with, he poured his heart to me and at that point, I found out how burdened he was with immense guilt and regrets for not valuing his wife and children, for making their lives miserable at one point of his life. Though I can’t give the entire account of our conversation he hated himself f...

Dear All, Let's talk about a positive emotion...happiness. "Happiness starts as a tiny seed. Plant the seeds of happiness, then nurture them each day."                                                                                  -Meadow Linn, spiritual Coach It is very important for all of us to let ourselves know how to be happy. What gives us happiness? Is it  immense wealth, foreign tours, friends, branded shoes or a luxurious car....the list is very long. But these things make us gratified and happy for only a certain period of time. The moment...we fulfill one desire of ours, one more wish generates automatically. So what to do...how to be happy? What is your perception? Please share with me.. Mamta Sharma

Being Uncomfortable Leads to Success!! Friends, How are you? Let me ask you if you ever feel vulnerable. Do you ever find yourself out of your comfort zone? So what do you do to survive in such a situation? Despite our yearning to move ahead and progress rapidly with the changing period, many of us get scared when we are out of our secured position.    What is a comfort zone? Yes, today’s discussion is about COMFORT ZONE. Friends, comfort zone refers to be in a secured position which most of us love to be. I had read somewhere that real life happens out of comfort zones. If we expand our arena by coming out of our comfort zones, we will surely reach the pinnacle of success. What happens when we are out of a secured position?  While training the under-privileged children in an English class, I could experience the discomfort; the students were going through while introducing themselves to a large audience. I come across several people who seem to ...
