The art of living

The art of living

Mainly the we have live with happiness, success, entertainment.  To live happily we can start loving the environment and understand people and build close relationship with the family members. The best way to love to the nature is leaving only the footsteps when you visit somewhere and taking memories only.Best way to handle the angry situations is to response rather than react. Taking decisions in anger may cause so many problems to your own life. If you can tolerate for few minutes without reacting and see the real reason for that situation and respond it wisely you can reduce so many problems and start living happily. An uncommitted mind is miserable. A committed mind mayexperiencerough weather but will reap the fruits of its toil. When you make the service your sole purpose in life, it eliminates fear, brings focus in your mind an purposefulness,

action and long term joy and may be short term problems!

THE ART OF LIVING By Ajith Rohana Colonne B.Sc., MBA, M.A.(Econ)

Three purpose of life

1. Happiness
2. Success
3. Enjoyment

Happiness

In psychology, happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being which can be defined by, among others, positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Happy mental states may reflect judgements by a person about their overall well-being.

Success

• Success is no accident. ...
• Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. ...
• Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success. ...
• There are no secrets to success. ...
• Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

I'm not going to get somewhere and say, 'OK, I'm done.' Success is never final; I'll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I'm going to the stars and then past them.

Live the Life You Want to Live!

Live the life you want to live, rather than the one you have to live.

 “With yoga and meditation!”

Our success must not come by hurting, cheating or any illegal action. When you go with success the thing that you can hold on is discipline .Discipline is a very important part in your carrier.

My Dream Trip

MY DREAM
_________________________________________________________________________________
           i will be going with my family and friends to Italy.
 

             The structural and historical beauties of Italy are both striking and stand out characteristics that make this country one of the most popular places to visit. From the crystal blue sea to the vast mountains surrounded by pure green, Italy is my dream vacation spot.

 The chance to explore the architectural and the beautiful surroundings of Italy would be a dream for me. With an unlimited budget I would take those closest to me on this wonderful journey through the country of Italy to see the beautiful scenery, try once-in-a-lifetime activities, and see how true Italians eat. From my point of view when I imagine Italy is the first thing I think of is the incredible buildings and land that surround it. On this dream vacation with the people closest to me, we would explore every popular location in Italy. I would visit the Alps and view the beauty of the mountains around the country.

 The opportunity to climb up through the mountains would be such an incredible and breath-taking sight. In addition to the mountains we would travel all around the sea to view the islands, wildlife, and secrets that lie around Italy. Furthermore we would explore and see the historical architecture that this country has to offer. We would take the time to see the Coliseum in Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pisa,and the historical churches in Italy.

  All of these incredible places would be ideal for my dream vacation and each place would offer new life experiences and appreciation.Travelling through Italy would create so many adventures and once in a lifetime opportunities to experience. I would make sure to try as many courageous activities as I possible could. The very first activity I would try would be to go cliff diving into the sea.

Barter Puzzle

  

This is also a one of funny activities of Personal Progress Development session. First we were divided in to four teams. In each team has 7 or 8 people. All of us assign a team leader for each team.

• Time: three hours 
• Number of Participants: Seven or eight.
• Tools Needed: Different jigsaw puzzles for each group

Rules: Have everyone break off into small, equal-sized groups. Give each group a different jigsaw puzzle with the same difficulty level The goal is to see which group can complete their jigsaw puzzle the fastest.  However! Some pieces will be mixed around in other group’s jigsaw puzzles. It’s up to the team to come up with a way to get those pieces back — either through negotiating, trading, exchanging team members, etc. Whatever they decide to do, they must decide as a group

The Activity:Give each team half of the pieces needed to complete their puzzle, along with puzzle pieces belonging to the other teams. Each team is trying to complete the puzzle before the other teams, and they have to find a way to convince the other teams to give them the pieces of their puzzle. Methods could include

• Bartering for pieces.
• Merging teams
• Giving time to help solve the puzzle
• Exchanging team members

Objective: This game is all about finding creative solutions to problems, and trying to figure out a way to get what you want from others. It’s also about working together and with each other.


Our team Activity

We had to build the picture from that pieces. All of our team members started to build the picture by keeping the parts one by one. First it was too difficult because we could not identify how can match the pieces correctly.
