Happiness

You must have heard the proverb  Happiness is a journey not a destination .
But how many have actually understood the meaning of this and those who have understood the meaning , how many have really implemented it on thier lives, I believe very few.
I said the sme thing to my friend and he replied "Kahaan se rahu happy, life main itni saari tension hain, unka kya karoon ??"
And I started wondering that he is right , how can you be happy when so many depressing thoughts are always there going on through your mind.
So that is why I say "Happiness and sadness , both are the state of minds and nothing else."
I am posting the picture below that you should once see that if a person really wants to enjoy life , he can do that even in a all kinds of difficulties.

In  the picture just look at their condition…, No place to sleep still they had made some space for the cat and the dog…Water poring from the roof but each one of them have a peaceful smile on their face….. Simple amazing….!

Who does not have tension , everyone from Bill Gates to the beggar , everyone but as it is said, " you cannot control the situations and circumstances , only thing you can control is your attitude towards them . One differnce between the great and the common is their attitude towards the things which they do not want to occur in their life.
For example I know persons who have committed suicides after getting failed in their examination and also the persons who after getting failed were more motivated and today they are very successful in their life. So what separates them , only their mind , their realisation that all these problems are only a part of life and it should not deviate them from their path of life enjoyment .
I was once reading some novel and this line caught my attention , "Life is too short to be sad."
I really loved that line as it is indeed true , you do not know what is going to happen to you the next day ,so just enjoy with whatever you are getting in life , it also means that we should enjoy every moment of life and it should not like be that only once we reaches the goal, we will be satisfied.
I agree that there is too much suffering in the world that it is really difficult to be happy all the time and by doing this we are also increasing the suffering , I am not saying that you should close your eyes towards all the wrongdoings in the world and remain happy because it is also our duty as a man to improve the condition of the world but I only want to say that Whatever you do , do it happily and always from the heart.

Exam

My exams are over , and now there is a doubt of my being 7 pointer , and it made me think that are the exams necessary to judge the performance of students ? Honestly speaking I am perplexed over this question.
There are many students who want to study in their own way(I am one among them), thus I have never understood the use of exams because you cannot judge by exams that his knowledge is less or more , a student performing well in exams does not mean that he is better than less scoring marks.
Also , it is said that Grades(marks) create differences , so there should be no examinations because our output is not the greatest when we work under pressure. Also lot of students are commiting suicides due to their failure in exams or going in mental trauma during the exam days. This is what one part of my mind says but my other part is totally of different view.
You cannot remove exams because in every field there has to be some form of evaluation criteria.Also it is then case in many students life that they study only when exams are nearer,so for them exams cant be removed.
You remove the exams and they will remove the study from their life. In each and every field , there has to be a judging criteria but not always in the form of paper.So something is there in education system that needs to be changed.
The only thing that I can suggest is that the form of exams , its aim has to be performance improvement and not judging of performance, so take exams and instead of giving the marks , try to bring out the weak and strong points of the student and this will help student a lot in his overall development.
