wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it " observed David Starr Jordan. If you commute to the office for thirty minutes each way every day, rather than arriving at work tired, frustrated and dispirited, listening to educational audio cassettes or reading a good book will make your commute fun and keep your inspired, focused and alert to the endless opportunities around you. There are no true tragedies, only lessons. And there really are no problems, only opportunities waiting to be recognized as solutions by the person of wisdom. It’s equally important to recognize that you’re going to experience failure and difficulties in life. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be happy. Just look at all of the people whose illnesses have made them better people, for example.

We just described Sharma’s belief that humans waste their lives by prioritizing the wrong things and discussed how you can stop wasting your life by determining its purpose. Now, we’ll discuss the first tactic to seize control of your life, according to Sharma: staying focused on your purpose at all times. We’ll cover two strategies to maintain focus on your purpose each day. Strategy #1: Every Morning, Align Yourself With Your Purpose Health and Well-being: The author emphasizes the importance of taking care of one’s physical and mental health. He discusses the benefits of exercise, meditation, and a healthy diet. The book is founded on Sharma’s belief that humans have lost sight of what really matters in life. We’re caught up in unimportant details, such as career success and social status, rather than the big-picture considerations that make life worth living, like family, love, and community. There is something very special about the first few hours in the morning. If spent wisely, the rest of your day will unfold in a wonderful way.Even after all these years, I still find the voice in his writing totally effective and crisp (like how I remember!). If we keep focusing on a small weakness in someone, it will continue to grow in our minds until we perceive it to As mentioned earlier, negative thoughts should be avoided. The book explains negative thoughts through this famous quote, “ Chita burns the dead body while Chinta burns the living.” This quote gives us a lesson of how we should live life to the fullest. Here, “Chita” means funeral pyre, while “Chinta” means thinking negatively or worrying. Chita, heaped wood, is used to burn dead bodies. However, our negative thoughts kill us alive. The latter is arguably worse. Don’t stress if you have wasted time in the past. One of the most beautiful things about time is that you can’t waste it in advance. It doesn’t matter how much time you have lost in the past. Stop thinking and worrying about wasted time, and utilize the coming hour with your full potential and make it perfect and unspoiled. Who Will Cry When You Die? Final Summary, Review and Analysis

Make wiser choices about the thoughts you will allow to enter your mind, as well as the attitude you will bring to your days and the way you will spend the hours of your time. Stop complaining and start living. Norman Cousins once remarked that “The Tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside of us while we breathe.” Too many people spend more time focusing on weaknesses rather than developing their strengths. If you set goals, the action you take will be based on your life’s mission rather than your day-to-day mood. Having a living funeral will reconnect you to the fact that time is a priceless commodity and the best time to live a richer, wiser and more fulfilling life is now. As well as wasting our time as we move towards death, negative thoughts can also impact our likelihood of dying. Negative thoughts are incredibly dangerous for the human body. The body responds to negativity with a stress response. This response can result in many diseases, like high blood pressure and heart problems. StoryShot #19: Take Care of Your Body

Sharma believes that you can’t possibly accrue all the experiences you need to pursue your purpose first-hand. However, you can gain the learning you’d acquire from those experiences second-hand from others. In this chapter, we’ll talk through five specific ways to gather the wisdom and support of those around you. Refer to Your Personal Panel of Imaginary Mentors The book is divided into 101 full chapters. Each chapter offers solutions and suggestions to face some of the difficult problems of life and develop one’s personality and personal skills. Everything explained in the book is true, except that there is not a single 'thing to do' mentioned throughout the book that I did not already do or was at least aware of. That said, perhaps, the fact that I belong to a closely knit family and have grown up in Indian culture might be the reason why all that is mentioned in the book seemed so ridiculously obvious to me. The book probably would have more of a global appeal, especially to the people who have have a very hectic life style and a mechanical routine. We’ll begin this chapter by discussing the need for mindfulness and the ways to achieve it. We’ll then move on to some specific areas of your life where mindfulness is especially useful. Always Be Mindful When you were born, you cried while the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world cries while you rejoice." (Ancient Sanskrit saying)
