- All of us would have heard it millions of times over and over again, right from our childhood till we get categorized as grownups or adults – to stay happy by carrying a smile on our persona as also keeping unpleasantness at bay – as far as possible. Parental advices, elderly advices, teachers’ advices, or for that matter, even friendly advices always exhort us in no uncertain terms to not let our perceptive challenges come in the way of sporting a pleasant disposition. No harm with these advices galore but extremely hard to sustain.

- It is proved beyond doubt that an individual(s) subsequent make-up and transformation is directly linked to the surroundings/environment while growing up. Initial learnings imbibed from infancy will always set the tone for the potential emergence in later years resulting in an admirable success story or life taking a turn for the worst. Entirely depends on what is chosen, though. As in the construction field or any other veritable fields as well, a sound foundation laid holds all the aces vis-a-vis to either keep perpetually strengthening or emerging hollow inside to present a failed misadventure eventually.
- Alas, every individual might not be blessed with an ideal household or pleasant surroundings but there is no denying the fact that one can alter the mode chosen to be counted as somebody useful to society at large. Conversely, an individual born amidst pleasant settings and with trapping of all things available in abundance including affluence might choose to trade a forbidden path culminating in a wasted life. Make no mistake, it all boils down to the choices we make once our sensory perceptions assume expertise.

- Most often than not, it is observed that we all tend to lead lives of compromises conveniently blaming on the backgrounds, ill-luck, lack of options, fewer opportunities, unfair advantages, disadvantages, and several excuses for failing to progress in the desired manner. How many of us tend to stop on our tracks for a while and introspect bluntly to assess what and where we went wrong as compared to others who might appear nothing extraordinary but seemingly progressing uninterruptedly to exalted glory?
- Most of us would never introspect honestly though we make the mistake of apportioning blame on others rather than admitting it is us who chose to tread the path in the first place. Alignment of mental faculties with a happy state of mind alongside intent purpose on whatever path chosen should be the template for a pleasant living environment. The principle applies to works or relationships, and that is to choose what makes us happy. Any endeavor chosen much against the inner wishes will invariably result in unhappiness. Mantra is to go by instinct and stick with true purpose will surely see us through.
