Be fair to yourself

Who is the tallest of it all ? You, me or someone else.

Do a good day's job. Let it be done for the day. Take a rest and treat yourself fairly.  Do not over exert yourself until you are sick. Mentally or physically.  You are a dumb fool if you do that.  You are paid to do a  job and you don't have to exchange your life for it.  There is a saying "a life long job will take a life time to do it". Pace yourself and work smart.  Never put everything on yourself. Spread out the responsibility  and manage it from a distance.

Don't be scare of failures. Pick up the pieces and re-construct the pieces and carry on from there.  When you fall down, pick yourself up.  It is never  a shame to admit your mistakes or failures.  Failure is the mother of success. If you don't understand, ask questions and it is a sin not to ask questions or admit that you don't know. Don't let your ego control you. Kill the ego and be humble. Ask and you will learn.

You should learn to forget and forgive. Through this wisdom, it  will make you strong and firm.  Make a strong foundation for yourself , then your strength resting on the foundation will be strong. There is a saying " if the top structure is weak, the foundation will be crooked". Be a strong leader and be righteous. Only then, you will be a good leader.

Have good relationship with others. Then, you will get the support and assistance. One person cannot do all the task. The more supporters you have , the lighter is the job and the easier to complete the task. Spend time with people, walk around and talk to people. You will not know who will help you in the end. Sometimes, your close friend is your enemy but a stranger will save you.  Be prepared for all eventualities.

Never be angry. When you are angry, do not do anything or say anything. Just keep quiet and the anger will pass.  Anger is  hurting oneself over other people's imperfection. Anger is like a fire, it burns everything down.  If you can manage anger, you will be top of all men. You will also be convincing and gain the support of  peers, colleagues and friends.

Never accept rewards which is belong to others. Acknowledge the contribution and merit of others and share the reward and honor with them. Don't take the ideas of other people, let them build on it and you give the assistance if possible. If you cannot help, don't hurt others. Just keep a distance to see it grow. If you are honorable, step in to give good advise.

In the end, you can never win it all. Have a balance life. Work hard and play hard. Spread good karma and gain good merits. What you give, the rewards  will come back to you in many folds.

Spread good wisdom and practice them. Lead the way to guide the fated ones to the righteous path. You may not be God but a good messenger. Showing and leading the way and give reminders when it is needed.

Finally, be fair to yourself. Acknowledge the good you have  done, take merits for the good work done, accept the honor of your achievements and manage a balance and fruitful life. When you make money, you should enjoy and when you have excess, you have to learn to give. For giving is happiness.

Namaste.
