It is High Time to Work for Changing the World

The world is in for a giant stride in its present working conditions, as things seem to have reached their climax in many spheres of life –

1. Economic recession in USA,
2. Corruption in India,
3. Moral degradation all over,
4. Population explosions and unemployment, and most importantly,
5. Lack of mutual trust in humanity.

With these, there are a few positive indications too –

• China’s rise to be the world economic power through concentrating of population control and productivity,
• Rise of women’s power above suppressions in Islamic harems, and
• World-wide interactions of minds through Internet connectivity.

And these developments are not going to be without a thunderous impact on the way, we presently think and perform. For going in a positive direction as a whole, we need to concentrate collectively on:

·         Social discipline that includes population control and morality in society and business,

·         Industrial productivity as the humanity can no more survive on mere agriculture,

·         Up-rise of people to fight against bad governance of themselves, and

·         Intellectualism to replace sexuality in minds of people.

But collective activism is always a product of individual activism, needing each of us to have something very special to do to affect the change for a better world tomorrow. So, here I concentrate on what each of us can do and how.

1. Have a Purpose

Human psychology is not to move an inch without a purpose but it seems a lot of those in human form move without any purpose of their own. They are so terrified with divine fears in their minds that they follow anybody promising them a resurrection from the terror. Let this terror go away from your mind, and have a purpose of life of your own. Such a purpose is often made of pieces diversified spatially as well as temporally. So, you need to have a purpose in your mind wherever you are and whatever time it is of the day. Mind it, even taking rest after a hard work is an important purpose of life to get rejuvenated for the next bout of performance.

2. You are Never too Old but More Experienced

Age certainly has a telling effect on your body making you incapable physically what you could do easily during your childhood or youthfulness. Simultaneously with this, realize that age has made you more intellectually matured through experiences, and now you can do many things so easily with your intellect what you could never do physically. Thus, the physical deficiency is over-compensated by your experiences and hence you gain as you age. For this, you need to be just healthy to keep your vitality intact.

The formula for activities on a age-graph is that with advancements in age, go on reducing your physical activities with proportional increments in intellectual activities.

3. Begin with Small Things

Realize that every big thing or endeavour is made up of small parts. So, you need not always think big and do wonders. Have patience, confidence and continuity of efforts to achieve big goals through small steps.

Second thing to realize is that the world is not limited to one life-time but a sequence of lives sequenced with genetic information passed from one generation to another. So, with whatever constructive you do – big or small, you are making an imprint on the canvass of time and space for the later generations to follow up for making an ever-better world. You always live in this world through the genetic information you transmit to your next generation through your thoughts, words and actions.

4. Be a Master

Incidentally, humanity recognizes on its past masters. So, to live in this world past your lifetime, you need to be a master of subject of your choice whose number has always been unlimited from educating a child, to innovating on stick for an old-man. Discover what you love to do, and do it with all your faculties being put to use – the only way to become a master and leave an imprint for the next generations.

Every person has some or other, one or more talent, to develop and become master of through a craze for it. It may be some field of creativity, productivity or even just your involvement in anything beyond normal imaginations.

5. Learn from Others

Each of us grows his/her knowledge and expertise through taking advantages of experiences of past generations and also of contemporaries. In the continuum of the world, there is no need to learn and begin from a scratch. Pick up the chain where others have brought it to and proceed on to add some imprints on the chain from your side for others to pursue. This is the essence of getting and imparting education through generations.

6. Don’t Die for Anything but Live for Something

Eastern spiritualists have unfortunately been reminding the humanity of eventual deaths and that is a very sad application of human intellect. This reminder puts psyche of a person to peril, hence, need be abandoned from human mind. What is eventual why to worry about that when we have a much better thing to live with, and that is life. Even if you die in your struggle for living, you make an imprint of life, thus live for ever. Can a soldier stop fighting for his/her life on the nation’s border seeing his/her eventual death some day, and surrender to the enemies forces. Heroes never die while cowards never live.
