Expansion of Ideas Speech is silver, Silence is Golden.

Expansion of Ideas

Speech is silver, Silence is Golden. 

There is a Biblical proverb, 'If speech is silver, then silence is golden'. This proverb implies that silence is a priceless gift. Very often, in conversation, some people speak non - stop, and say hardly anything of value. Little do they realize that people, even in company, need silence in order to evaluate what is going on in their minds. 

A good number of people think that whatever they say is very important and needs to be listened to. One valuable quality of communication is the ability to be a good listener. Listening to others is an art. But unfortunately, sometimes people just wait for the other person to stop so that they can begin their own part - which they rehearse while pretending to listen. 

To be silent is to be sensitive to the other person's thoughts and needs and problems. If you wish your company to be valued by others, sometimes keep quiet, listen and pay attention while others are speaking. By doing this you will be more helpful than chatting nineteen to the dozen. There is a beautiful song which has this line; You say it best when you say nothing at all!

Expansion of Ideas Work is Worship

Expansion of Ideas

Work is Worship

Everyone has to work in order to earn money. However, there are some who think of work only as a means to earn money, and nothing more. As a result they do not perform the tasks given to them by their employers with interest. They make excuses, point an accusing finger at others, blame their tools, criticise their employers, complain about their colleagues - while they themselves work in the most inefficient way possible. We must remind such people that 'Duty is divine' and 'Work is worship'. Work is a dedication of one's labour to God. Work is the use of the inspiration given to us by God to create and carve and mend and shape. 

Work should be performed with sincerity, dedication and perseverance. This shows respect for what we do, and for the others who will benefit from our work. When we perform a task, however simple it may be, it should be done to the best of our ability. This shows not only our deep involvement in our actions, but also an expression of our skills. We must not forget that the first 'work' ever done was by God - the 'work' of Creation. And look how beautiful His 'works' are!

Expansion of Ideas A Little Learning is a Dangerous Thing.

Expansion of Ideas

A Little Learning is a Dangerous Thing.

We have heard of 'quacks' in the villages who try to cure serious diseases by their so-called magical remedies. This is an example of a little learning being a dangerous thing. Finally when the patient dies they shift the blame to some supernatural powers and wash their hands of the tragedy.

Sometimes children try to imitate dangerous scenes from films, little realising the harm that they can cause to themselves or others. Likewise, learning Yoga from someone who is not an expert in the art could be dangerous. Some people try to repair domestic appliances on their own thinking they can do the job themselves. Lacking sufficient knowledge, they only spoil the appliance. They would do well to call a technician to do the job.

Listening to the advice of someone who is less educated than you can result in your making wrong choices in life. Remember Lord Buddha's teaching: Travel not with a fool. He further goes on to say that if the people you are travelling with are less clever than you or equal in cleverness to you, it is better to travel alone. In other words, it is better to have no friends than to have one who has little knowledge.

.

Difficult Words & Meanings

• Quacks: People who dishonestly claim to have medical knowledge or skills.
• Remedies: Treatments or medicines to cure illnesses or solve problems.
• Supernatural: Attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.
• Tragedy: An event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress.
• Imitate: To copy or follow as a model.
• Realising (Realizing): Becoming aware of or understanding.
• Domestic Appliances: Machines or devices designed for household use (e.g., toasters, washing machines).
• Sufficient: Enough; adequate.
• Technician: A person skilled in the repair or operation of technical equipment.
• Counsel: Advice, especially that given formally. (While 'advice' is used, 'counsel' is a good related word often implying more formal or expert advice).

Expansion of Ideas The world has enough for every man's need, But not for every man's greed.

Expansion of Ideas

The world has enough for every man's need, But not for every man's greed. 

God created this world with enough natural resources to fulfil the needs of every single person. Yet there are some who, driven by greed, wish to acquire land and property beyond imaginable bounds. As a result, hundreds of thousands of common people are deprived of their needs and starve and die. It is indeed a crime against humanity for a few greedy people to indulge in lavish lifestyles when the rest of the population lives amidst grinding poverty. 

The world has been created for each and every human being alive. It is capable of providing land, food and raw materials for clothing for everyone! The world would surely be a better place if everyone opted for a simple and healthy lifestyle. However, we see all around us the mad rush for material possessions. Humans, greedily and selfishly, have been over-exploiting the natural resources over the years. 

The need of the hour is to balance materialism and over consumption with an awareness of the needs of others. Gandhi spent his entire life working for the poor and the downtrodden and set an example by living a simple life. He tried to prove through his actions the truth of his words. 'The World has enough for every man's needs, but not for every man's greed'. If only more leaders were like him!

Nothing Succeeds Like Success

An Expansion of Ideas for School & College Students

Sweet is the taste of success. The more you get, the more you want. The more you want, the more you try. It is like setting a self-propelling machine in motion; it continues to build momentum on its own.

But where does it all begin? Of course, every success story must have a beginning. Success in early ventures builds our belief in ourselves. We begin to have confidence, and that makes all the difference.

More Topics

For a student, a significant early success often comes from their final school examinations. If they prove to be a great success in it, there is a strong possibility they will enjoy a series of future successes in the years to come.

Therefore, it is essential to achieve that first success through dedicated effort. This initial success will bring more success. For nothing succeeds like success!

Difficult Words & Meanings

• Succeeds - to achieve a desired goal or result.
• Self-propelling - able to move by its own power without outside help.
• Momentum - the force that keeps an object moving or keeps an event developing.
• Ventures - a project or activity that is new, exciting, and possibly risky.
• Confidence - a feeling of belief in one's own abilities or qualities.
• Significant - important enough to be worthy of attention.
• Essential - absolutely necessary or extremely important.
• Dedicated effort - hard work and commitment given to a task or purpose.
