360° VIEW

Shillong, Apr. 11. Think Anew, Start Afresh. Here are twelve tips for serene living.

1. LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL: If being half alive is even more difficult, why not be fully alive?

2. EXPECT HURDLES ON THE WAY: Even if You don`t, they will still be there.

3. LOOK AT ALL THE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN LIFE: They are so many, you will never get bored.

4. EVIL APPEARS IN MANY FORMS. Fight it. With God`s help, success is assured.

5. WIPE AWAY TEARS FROM AS MANY FACES AS POSSIBLE. One day there will be someone to wipe away your tears.

6. KEEP ASKING WHY. Not every question has easy answers. But not asking is accepting ignorance as a way of life.

7. CRITICISM BEGINS WITH SELF. When I point a finger at my neighbour there are three more pointing back at me.

8. KNOWLEDGE MUST BE AT THE SERVICE OF MAN. Otherwise there is a danger that man will be at the service of knowledge.

9. FIRST THINGS FIRST: Some things are important; some things are urgent; some others are important and urgent.

10. BE MASTERS OF THE MEDIA. Otherwise you will be enslaved.

11. POWER PLAY. There are more things to life than reaching the top.

12. DEATH IS NOT THE END. How does one know that? Look at the cross of Christ.
