“What Fills Up That Empty Space”

What’s typical about an empty space or vacuum is that it fills itself with anything that is in its vicinity. It does not differentiate between “good or bad” or “appropriate or inappropriate”. It just fulfills that basic need to fill up the empty space.

While this is a phenomenon guided by scientific principles, things are different when it comes to a metaphorical reference of the same in our day-to-day lives. Whenever there is a void or an empty space  that might exist or get created circumstantially, it becomes very important to be conscious of what fills up that “empty space”.

 

 

“Where Do We Lose It All?”

Dussera just went by and while the entire world outside was busy preparing the “Raavan” to be traditionally put down, here were my two little daughters doing the same at home. They had got their entire gang of  friends together to put up their very own “Raavan”, together. They were up early in the morning, got all the material that was required, mustered up the help of elders to complete what they were unable to and were at it right through the day, without a moment’s rest.

As I watched them go through the activity, what struck me rather noticeably was the presence of all those behaviours that are generally stated to be the prerequisite of a successful venture. Each one of these kids was demonstrating the so-called “High Performance Behaviours” that we are often taught much later on in life.

The question then is that , if these already exist within us, where do we lose them as we grow up? Why is it that we need to be taught those very things all over again which are so instinctive & so fundamental to us right from the beginning of our lives?

“Magnifying Glass or Microscope ?”

Magnifying Glass &  Microscope, both quite commonly known and used instruments. Both enlarge the images seen through them. However, both are always used for different purposes.

The same image seen through either of them would seem totally different to the eye. It, therefore, becomes important to know when to use which one of them.

Life has its own such images and it becomes important to understand when to use a “Magnifying Glass” & when to use a “Microscope”. It entirely depends on what depth of details that you want to see. Using one in place of the other will always give you an image you probably aren’t looking for.

Think before you use one “Magnifying Glass or Microscope ?”
