Sandeep Maheshwari's Top 10 Rules For Success (Hindi)

"Nothing can be of such great benefit to you, in your quest for moderation in all things, that to frequently contemplate the brevity of one's life span, and its uncertainty. Whatever you undertake, cast your eyes on death." Accepting that death is an inevitable part of the process and preparing for the end of life (and that it could happen any time) is key.

I. Prepare yourself

"Life is granted with death as its limitation; it's the universal endpoint. To fear it is madness, since fear is for things we're unsure of; certainties are merely awaited." When we fear or worry about something, we are living through it twice. So, why fear something that's inevitable?

II. Have no fear

"There's only one way we can say that the life we live is long: if it's enough." "I look upon (my life) as though it could be my last." Don't delay the things you want to do when you retire or when you think you will have the time to do it. Live immediately.

III. Have no regrets

"Death is as near as it can be...The thing we call dying, the moment when the soul leaves the body, is too quick for the speed of its exit to be felt. You fear for so long that which takes only a short time!" Just being aware of how quick death is can help break the shackles of our fear.

IV. Set yourself free

"There is nothing that does not grow old...Whatever is, will no longer be; it won't die, but will be undone." "It is a great comfort that the earth too is mortal."

V. Become a part of the whole

Timeless wisdom on death and dying from the celebrated Stoic philosopher Seneca "It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die," wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC–65 AD). He counseled readers to "study death always," and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings, yet he never treated it in a complete work. How to Die gathers in one volume, for the first time, Seneca's remarkable meditations on death and dying. Edited and translated by James S. Romm, How to Die reveals a provocative thinker and dazzling writer who speaks with a startling frankness about the need to accept death or even, under certain conditions, to seek it out. Seneca believed that life is only a journey toward death and that one must rehearse for death throughout life. Here, he tells us how to practice for death, how to die well, and how to understand the role of a good death in a good life. He stresses the universality of death, its importance as life's final rite of passage, and its ability to liberate us from pain, slavery, or political oppression. Featuring beautifully rendered new translations, How to Die also includes an enlightening introduction, notes, the original Latin texts, and an epilogue presenting Tacitus's description of Seneca's grim suicide.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca or Seneca the Younger); ca. 4 BC – 65 AD) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist of the Silver Age of Latin literature. He was tutor and later advisor to emperor Nero, who later forced him to commit suicide for alleged complicity in the Pisonian conspiracy to have him assassinated.

How to Die

First mentioned in the 18th century by Scottish philosopher David Hume, utilitarianism is a moral doctrine that is increasingly influential in recent times.<ul><li>Utilitarianism is not based on utility, but the intrinsic value of something based on pleasure or happiness, or both.</li><li>A screwdriver has an instrumental value, as it is useful while doing carpentry or repair work, but it does not provide any pleasure or happiness.</li><li>A red rose provides both pleasure and happiness, which is why it has an intrinsic value.</li></ul>

Utilitarianism

<ol><li>We value something because it gives us either pleasure or happiness, or both.</li><li>The more happiness any action creates, the better that action is.</li><li>Happiness counts equally for everyone involved. Example: Everyone in an organization should be happy, not just the top executives or leaders.</li></ol>

The Three Principles Of Utilitarianism

Utilitarianism is one of the most important and influential moral theories. Here's an explanation of three principles that serve as the basic axioms.

Although it seems like a radical idea, it has more premise than you might initially think.The theory consists of the idea that everything from buildings to human beings could all be elements in a compelx simulation.Who would construct such a simulation? A Type 5 Alien civilization that possesses the ability to store incredibly large amounts of data. This idea of a simulation stems from video games believe it or not. Elon Musk himself described that video games show that society can be represented more and more accurately as the technology for it develops. Happy thinking!

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked.“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.”

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

“Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.”

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now”

1. Do not be content to be average. Mediocrity breeds boredom, poor opportunity, and an unsatisfactory lifestyle. Instead, decide to excel in everything you do, and be distinctive if not unique, in your approach.

2. Take well analysed risks, particularly when there is everything to gain and little to lose. Do not be afraid of rejection when you have competently and ethically tried to succeed.

3. Be skilled in political strategy. Interpersonal, leadership, and motivational skills are important for success, but few consider political strategy. In my mind, there is organizational politics in any group with more than three people.

Life's Lessons | If I Knew Then

“As a man thinketh in his heart so is he”You are literally what you think. Your character being a complete sum of your thoughts. Just as plants cannot grow without the seed, actions cannot have been taken without the thought. Through this is the realization that you hold the key to every situation, and just as gold and diamonds are discovered through much searching and mining, you can discover your own truths and character by digging deep into yourself.

Thought and Character

“You do not attract that which you want, but that which you are”Your mind is like a garden that can be cultivated or allowed to run wild, depending on the quality of your thoughts and your thoughts shape your character, circumstances, and destiny. Most people are usually anxious to improve their circumstances, but unwilling to improve themselves. You become your true and powerful self when you take responsibility for your life - when you stop blaming others for your conditions and build yourself up with strong thoughts.

Effect of Thought on Circumstances

“There is no doctor better than cheerful thought for keeping the body healthy”Your body reacts to your mind and will, therefore, be a direct reflection of your thoughts, and disease and health, like circumstance, are rooted in thought. Sickly thoughts will express themselves through a sickly body and strong, pure and happy thoughts build a strong and graceful body. Your body is delicate and responds readily to your thoughts. A change of diet will not help you without changing your thoughts. If you want to protect your body, guard your mind.

Effect of thought on Health and the Body

“All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thought.”No-one can change your conditions but you. Others can help you, but cannot do the work for you and can do nothing unless you are at first willing. Achievement of whatever kind is the effort of thought and success can only be maintained by continued watchfulness. All achievements are the result of strongly directed thoughts.

The Thought-Factor in Achievement

Reproduction of the original: As a Man Thinketh by James Allen

THIS little self-help volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that-- "They themselves are makers of themselves." By virtue of the thoughts, which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.

James Allen is an accomplished writer whose work has resonated with readers around the world. James Allen has published several books that explore a range of topics, from fiction to nonfiction, and has received critical acclaim for the ability to weave compelling narratives. James Allen's writing style is known for its depth and authenticity, and has earned quite a loyal following of readers.

As a Man Thinketh

A new biography of Mary Wollstonecraft, an English writer of the 18th century, author of a famous treatise on women's rights, wife of the philosopher William Godwin and mother of Mary Shelley, author of the well-known story of Frankenstein, has recently been released in England. In the seventies the international feminist movement had as its slogan: "The personal is the political". Mary's life was, in fact, a personal fact that later became a political fact, with the character of a "mantra", a vibration in the meaning of the Indian word, a "politics" in the Western cultural meaning.

A New Biography

Mary placed the "home" at the center of her philosophy, her life and her work were governed by the struggle for women's emancipation. Unfortunately, the fact that everyone was aware that she was dealing with two lovers and that she had offered them a "life for three", that she had an illegitimate daughter and that she had attempted suicide, all these facts destroyed her reputation. It was only in the seventies of the twentieth century, two centuries later, that Mary re-emerged as the forerunner and mother of feminism.

A "life for three"

Many critics and historians believe that Wollstonecraft's genius is to be sought in her life. According to another great British feminist, Virginia Woolf, her genius is to be found in the fact that from the very beginning, her life was an experimental life. She was the daughter of an idle drunkard and she immediately learned how to live alone by choosing one of the most impossible professions for that time: the writer.

Wollstonecraft's genius

We find nineteen-year-old writer Mary walking alone through London at night returning from a literary evening with her editor Joseph Johnson and other members of the radical circle frequented by men like Paine, author of "Human Rights", by William Blake, poet and immortal painter, Erasmus Darwin, the great painter Fuseli. Frequencies and acquaintances made in the name of a clear existential and cultural independence, unthinkable at that time, in that type of 18th century English society.

Mary in London

It was the time when women would never dream of studying botany due to the female sexual references of plants in Darwin's studies, a time when women had no right to make a career, could not have access to their money , they did not possess their own body from a strictly physical point of view, the children did not belong to them. In short, they were just toys in the hands of men. Marriage was nothing more than "legalized prostitution", as Mary herself said in her famous book on Rights.

Marriage as "legalized prostitution"

"The Rights of Women" was published in 1792 and gave her immediate fame. She enraged classical and conservative poets like Horace Walpole who called her "a hyena in a bra". She blanched many alleged radicals, both politicians and writers and pundits of a press that was only male and conservative. Mary, in the book, violently supported the right of women to education, emancipation, liberation from a state of humiliating male servitude, stating that it was not true that men were beings with reason and women only emotions.

"A hyena in a bra"

Instead, she argued that marriage was the right balanced fusion between the two sexes, a cornerstone for maintaining relations between the sexes and therefore the foundations of civil society. Despite having written novels, manuals and educational anthologies, the essay on "Women's Rights" is her real intellectual testament. Mary is not only a completely new and unexpected feminist icon on the English scene of the late eighteenth century. It fits well into the current of the European Enlightenment that flows freely into Romanticism to change and transform itself into Cultural Politics.

 An Intellectual Testament

In her passionate and painful life, the confluence of the Enlightenment in Romanticism became a real bloody battle as evidenced by one of his letters: "I am a real animal and instinctive emotions too often silence the suggestions of reason ... aware that life is just a game, often just a nightmare, yet every day I am looking for something serious, worthwhile, but I am always disillusioned ”. The letter was written after Fuseli's refusal to live together in three. An exasperatingly romantic Mary, substantially raw in her exasperation, but serious in her rationalistic enlightenment.

 "I am a real animal ..."

Mary made her life a continuous experiment. Rejected by Fuseli, she left England and followed the French Revolution in the days of terror, like a modern journalist who goes to the front. She embarked on a trip to the Scandinavian countries and found herself with a daughter writing her extraordinary letters of hers from Scandinavia, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. It was these letters that transformed the philosopher William Godwin from admirer into lover of her. The marriage was her last but "fruitful experiment", as Virginia Woolf called it. A life of "experiments" done on his own skin.

 Her Life a Continuous Experiment

Mary is the portrait of a courageous, irritating, attractive, passionate, instinctive, sometimes brutal woman. Her fame was greatly damaged by the revelations that Godwin himself made when he published some private details in his Memoirs out in the same year as Mary's Memoirs, discrediting her in the eyes of feminists. After all, many modern biographers tend to think that Mary's effort was aimed at giving women a new and different condition made up of redemption and the search for identity, but also to help "create" a "new man", in the game of relationships and balances between the two sexes.
