  Nowadays, lots of ideas and thoughts are running through my mind. Even my mind instigates me to do something extra. Besides this, I started reading a book titled “Ikigai”. The book offers many good, positive, and soothing points. So, I can prepare myself for the future. That is my recent goal. Before that, I began a book by Ruskin Bond, full of vivid descriptions of the Himalayan Mountains and the slopes where the writer spent his childhood. The book has a rich vocabulary and the way he described the nature, surroundings, and forest. It is indeed worthwhile to learn from the book. It helps me in speaking as well as writing a blog. Yesterday, I learnt not to keep any assumptions about anyone or anything. Because it drags the mind into conflict and a fight mood. Further, it misleads a man and creates doubt in strengthening negativity. That’s why I must be aware of such a mind game. I should develop mindfulness so that I can connect easily with my life purpose. Next, I got on how I ...

 Our past Past is actually past, neither it leave us nor we leave it. As it is a sticky ingredient of our lives. In course of time, it becomes a part of our  nature and influences us when we face any hurdle or difficulty.  However, we never realise it's negative impact over our lives. Sometimes, we behave as per it's hovering to us.   Simultaneously , we are fed up with it too much and disturbed. Mentally  and physically we see sense with its effect. That's why, we don't get proper way to deal with it or discard it.  However, we can train mind accordingly. We can tell softly to mind whenever we remember past, " oh, mind the past has finished or gone away." Further, we can pen down our past and burn it. Then we have to tell that we have erased ot completely. Even we can gather the past on our palm and throw it backside immediately with closed eyes.

Today, I am a bit confused about what to write down or do to help my mood swing back to the good and positive aspects of my life.

Simultaneously, I keep worrying about my financial issues, how to increase my income or find better options for my career. These thoughts or some others, are running through my mind like a wild horse. At some level, I ask several questions of myself in order to be sorted out. Afterwards, what thoughts are jotted down with hope to get better? But it never happens or gets left out somewhere in between my routine. Ultimately, questions are cropped out before me regarding goals which were pla...

You can become a good speaker when you listen with understanding, rather than answering. Whenever you listen to others, try to understand their perspective and what they actually want to convey to you. Consequently, you obviously connect with them.

  Date:- 06.05.2026                                  Day:- Wednesday   A few ideas on Spoken English teaching                             I have been teaching a spoken English course since 2006.
