Tips for 2015  - G Madhava Rao, Bangalore

Be honest: Honesty is a way of life.  Be faithful to your parents, your family, your friends, your neighbours,  your society and finally to your country.

Be happy: Being genuinely grateful for what you have and looking forward to the dawn of each day can make you feel a kind of happiness. Do not think always about money, status or your looks or your profession. Respect your profession whether it’s small or big which has its own credibility and greatness.

Be respectful of others: When you treat others as you would like to be treated, you are showing the ultimate kind of respect. Do not hurt anybody by your loose talks.

Be confident: Once you accept there is always someone out there who is better than you, you can realize your own abilities. Be confident in what you can--and cannot--do.

Be emotionally open: Be open and honest with those you love. Express your opinions and listen to theirs without criticizing.

Be disciplined: Self-discipline means you have a finely tuned sense of ethics, of what is right and what is wrong, and you act accordingly. You are strong enough to say no to life’s many bad temptations.

Take pride in yourself: While too much pride can be seen as sinful, we all need to feel some pride in who we are, where we live and what we do. That kind of pride helps define who you are in your world.

Be compassionate: Being empathic to the needs of others and doing good deeds to ease others’ suffering is one of the most basic acts of kindness and goodness we accomplish as human beings.Help as much as possible to poor and downtrodden, irrespective of their caste, creed or religion.

Have a sense of humor: You have to be able to laugh, especially at yourself. There is humor in almost every situation. You just have to find it. And laughing is almost always better than crying.

Good behaviour: Do not indulge in any anti-social, anti-national activities. Follow some ethics in life. Respect your religion as well as other religions. Love the nature. Be Indian, love Indian.
