are opposing the new
policy, 32.22% of liquor
shops have already re-
newed licences. While
Ajmer is at forefront of
licence renewals,
Jaipur has been a lag-
gard.
Chetan Deora, Com-
missioner, Excise De-
partment, said, “Re-
newal of licences of
about 1/3rd
of liquor
shops is being consid-
ered as a big feat by de-
partment. In the past,
there was opposition
from liquor licensees
on many policy points.
In such a situation,
even when 50% of the
shops were found eligi-
ble for renewal, a large
number of people were
not willing to renew.”

RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT MISINFO
ABUNDANCE LEADS TO PANIC BUYING IN INDIA
e are living in an era
which is called the infor-
mation age. Information
means knowledge or facts.
But not every piece of in-
formation that reaches us
needs to be correct. In this
era where the influence of
social media is increasing
rapidly
, with a large popu-
lation spending maximum
time on various social me-
dia platforms, the ex-
change of information is
bound to happen rapidly.
With this, the time to scan
the truth of the informa-
tion that is becoming in-
creasingly viral is almost
over. That is the reason,
the era is also known as
the post-truth era.
In this era, several
times there is a possibility
of spreading misinforma-
tion. These days we are
consuming a new form of
information in the war be-
tween Ukraine and Rus-
sia. The battle between
these two countries is be-
ing fought on social media
platforms, many times
more than on the ground.
This is the reason why the
fight between these two
countries has also been
proclaimed as an informa-
tion war.
From the day Russia an-
nounced the attack on
Ukraine, Russia also
launched an information
war. But as this war pro-
gresses, Ukraine now
seems to be winning this
new age war on the web at
least with the help of the
United States as most of
the social media plat-
forms are under the influ-
ence of the US and other
Western countries, in
such a situation, when
West has imposed many
sanctions on Russia re-
garding this war, then
how can Russia’s upper
hand in information war
be heavier than Ukraine?
Reports about
Ukraine’s digital army
have also been in the fore-
front against Russia.
Hundreds of volunteer
hackers have gathered
and have started giving a
befitting reply to Russia’s
information war by form-
ing a group of their own.
Many experts have start-
ed saying that these hack-
ers of Ukraine seem to be
more effective attackers
than any paramilitary un-
less, of course, a nuclear
threat comes true.
But during the informa-
tion war, the kind of infor-
mationorinformationthat
is being repeatedly made
public through Ukraine is
proving to be false or fake.
It is not that Russia, de-
spite limited means, is not
able to do propaganda
against Ukraine.
It is also making public
many types of informa-
tion about Ukraine in a
limited range. The kind of
information that is being
shared again and again
about its opponent in this
war from both sides, this
war has now become
“Misinformation War”.
Attempts are being
made by Russia to destroy
the status of Ukraine all
over the world. Russia also
seems to be trying that
through its misinforma-
tion, the Ukrainian people
and the army there should
lose courage. Ukraine, on
the other hand, is also con-
stantly sharing false infor-
mation against Russia to
gain the sympathy of the
world and keep the morale
of its citizens in the war.
This is not the first
time that misinformation
through social media
platforms have been
spread to gain points dur-
ing a battle. We have seen
many such examples be-
fore. Because most of peo-
ple are not interested in
knowing the truth of the
information that they
got. Therefore, the ten-
dency of hastily forward-
ing has started increas-
ing rapidly these days.
Due to this, the busi-
ness of misinformation
has also cemented. The
same phenomenon is vis-
ible in the war between
Russia and Ukraine. In
such a situation, as vigi-
lant citizen, we have to try
to bridge the gap between
this information and mis-
information being shared
on social media platforms.
If we can do this, then we
will also be able to make
this new world of infor-
mation better. Otherwise,
the war of perception will
doom every possibility of
peace and harmony left in
this world.
PANIC BUYING
The ongoing war between
Russia and Ukraine since
February 24 is now show-
ing effects all over the
world. Even though
bombs and gunpowder are
raining thousands of kilo-
meters away from India,
the bad effect of war is
starting to take place here
too. According to reports,
after Russia’s attack on
Ukraine, people in India
have started to panic buy-
ing. Especially in the case
of edible oil, people are
buying and stocking more
than necessary
.
FEAR SPREADING
AMONG PEOPLE DUE
TO VIRAL FAKE
MESSAGES
According to a report, peo-
ple are afraid that due to
this corrosion, there may
be a shortage of edible
oils. Fake messages going
viral on WhatsApp that
there may be a shortage of
edible oils in the market
due to unrest are adding to
the panic buying. After re-
ceiving the messages. Peo-
ple in India have bought as
much as 20 litres of edible
oil at one go.
INDIA’S OVER 90%
SUNFLOWER OIL
COMES FROM
RUSSIA, UKRAINE
The price of edible oil in
India has increased by
more than 20 percent in
the last one month. In the
midst of such a surge in
prices, viral fake mes-
sages are promoting pan-
ic buying. India depends
on imports to a large ex-
tent in terms of edible
oil. In the case of edible
oil, two-thirds of India’s
requirements are met by
imports. Talking about
sunflower oil, India is al-
most completely depend-
ent on Russia and
Ukraine in this matter.
More than 90 percent of
India’s total sunflower oil
import comes from these
two countries.
THE SUPPLY OF ALL
OTHER EDIBLE OILS
WON’T BE AN ISSUE
Although experts believe
that there is no need to
panic, because even if
there is, there will be a
shortage of sunflower oil
only. There is no problem
in the supply of all other
edible oils like palm oil,
soya oil, mustard oil,
groundnut oil etc. There-
fore, there is no need for
panic buying.

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: The tone of
the leaders of the Aam
Aadmi Party has
changed. After AAP’s
massive victory in Pun-
jab, party leaders have
started saying that the
‘Kejriwal Model of Gov-
ernance’ has been cho-
sen by the people. Keep
in mind that earlier
Delhi model was dis-
cussed in AAP’s public-
ity
. Before that, when
Narendra Modi came
onto the national politi-
cal scene to contest the
generalelections,hehad
shown the Gujarat mod-
el to the whole country
.
ButtheBJPdidnotlabel
it as Modi model of gov-
ernance, rather it ws
termedtheGujaratmod-
el. The way the Gujarat
model was discussed in
public sphere, the same
waytheDelhimodelwas
being discussed, prior to
assembly results.
But after the election
results, AAP leaders
have started calling it
the Kejriwal model.
Soon after initial trends,
DelhiDeputyChief Min-
ister Manish Sisodia
said it was a victory for
“governance on the Ke-
jriwal model”. After a
while, Raghav Chadha,
in-charge of Punjab, re-
peated the same line. So,
now the name of the
Delhi model has been
changed to Kejriwal
model, which the Aam
Aadmi Party will capi-
talizeonintheassembly
elections in two states -
Gujarat and Himachal
Pradesh - to be held later
thisyear.Children’sedu-
cation, women’s earn-
ings, ration to the poor
and care of everyone’s
health are being told to
be the merits of this
model. The way Nitish
Kumar had talked about
development with jus-
tice in Bihar, even
thoughdevelopmenthas
not really happened,
similarly development
with justice is being
talked about under the
Kejriwal model.
What is the Kejriwal model of governance?

New Delhi (Agen-
cies): India and China
have agreed to main-
tain stability on the
ground, while working
towards a mutually ac-
ceptable solution to re-
solve the dispute at the
Line of Actual Control
(LAC), the Indian De-
fence Ministry said on
March 12, a day after
the two countries held
the 15th round of mili-
tary-level talks.
The Corps Com-
mander-level meeting
was held at Chushul-
Moldo border on the
Indian side, nearly two
months after the last
round of talks took
place. While both the
countries will hold fur-
ther talks to resolve the
row in eastern Ladakh,
it was decided to main-
tain the stable position
in the western sector.
The two sides agreed
to maintain the securi-
ty and stability on the
ground in the western
sector in the interim.
They agreed to main-
tain dialogue via mili-
tary and diplomatic
channels to reach a mu-
tually acceptable reso-
lution of the remaining
issues at the earliest,
the statement said.
Both, India and Chi-
na, reaffirmed that
such a resolution would
help restore peace and
tranquility along the
LAC in the western sec-
tor and facilitate pro-
gress in bilateral rela-
tions, it added.
The two sides car-
ried forward their dis-
cussions from the pre-
vious round held on
12th January 2022 for
the resolution of the
relevant issues along
the LAC in the western
sector. They had a de-
tailed exchange of
views in this regard,
in keeping with the
guidance provided by
the state leaders to
work for the resolu-
tion of the remaining
issues at the earliest,
the Defence Ministry
further said.
Pune (ANI): Mumbai
police have issued a no-
tice to BJP leader Dev-

of Opposition in the Ma-
harashtra Assembly,
has been summoned to
the BKC Cyber Cell at 11
am on Sunday
.
In a press confer-
ence on Saturday, Fad-
navis said, I was home
minister [of Maha-
rashtra] earlier. And
even if a fake case has
been registered, I will
go [to the police].
But as Leader of Op-
position, I have some
privileges and no one
can ask me the source of
information, he added.
Former Maharash-
tra chief minister Dev-
endra Fadnavis also
said that he was sur-
prised that the state
government did noth-
ing for six months on
the transfer posting
scam. Instead, they
want to catch someone
who exposed this
scam, he told report-
ers in Mumbai.
Jalandhar (PTI): The
remains of around 17-18
slaughtered cows were
allegedly found in Pun-
jab’s Tanda Urmar in
Hoshairpur district on

Following the inci-
dent, which allegedly
took place last night,
right-wing organisa-
tions gathered before
noon on Saturday and
sat on a dharna near the
site, blocking the Ja-
landhar-Pathankot Na-
tional Highway, the po-
lice added.

Bengaluru (PTI): Sen-
ior Congress leader and
MLC CM Ibrahim on
Saturday said he has re-
signed from the prima-
ry membership of the
party, and was inclined

The senior politician,
however, said he will
announce his decision
to join the regional par-
ty after discussing with
the JD(S) leadership,
including former Prime
Minister HD Deve Gow-
da, in a couple of days.
Reacting to the pos-
sibility of Mr Ibrahim
joining JD(S), Deve
Gowda said the party
will discuss and take a
decision.
I'm resigning from
the primary member-
ship of the Congress. I
have sent a signed letter
to Sonia Gandhi (Con-
gress National Presi-
dent), Mr Ibrahim told
reporters.
New Delhi (PTI): Two
days after the Bahujan

Lucknow: Histori-
cal results have come
in Uttar Pradesh.
This is the first time
after more than three
decades that a party
has returned to pow-
er for the second
time in a row, and for
the first time since
independence, that a
Chief Minister has
won for the second
time in a row after
completing five years
in office. This time
the Uttar Pradesh
elections were also
historic in the sense
that for the first time
such a face-to-face
contest took place
and more than 95 per
cent of the seats were
divided between only
two parties. The vote
percentage is defi-
nitely divided be-
tween some parties
but only BJP and SP
have got seats.
While BJP in-
creased the vote per-
centage compared to
the last assembly
elections, the vote
percentage of SP in-
creased by about 15
percent. Till now it
had got highest 28
percent votes but
this time it got close
to 35 percent votes.
The Bahujan Samaj
Party remained at a
respectable level of
13-14 per cent of the

percentage did not
work in terms of

four per cent seats
are divided among

Jaipur: It seems that
the “Acche Din” of the
education department
are coming and the de-
railed department is
now slowly coming
back on track.
It could be possible
with the change of the
entire administrative
team, right from the
minister to the secre-
tary and director.
Bulaki Das Kalla is
now the education min-
ister and Pawan Ku-
mar Goyal heads the
department as addi-
tional chief secretary.
What is important is
that the minister and
the additional chief
secretary have remark-
able understanding
and coordination.
During the 3 years
tenure of former min-
ister Govind Singh Do-
tasra, the confronta-
tion between him and
the principal secretary
had made the situation
of the department mis-
erable. Three principal
secretaries, Bhaskar
Sawant, Manju Rajpal
and Aparna Arora,
were changed when
Dotasra was the educa-
tion minister.
Finally, in August
2021, Pawan Kumar
Goyal took charge of
the department with
the senior position of
Additional Chief Sec-
retary
.
Dotasra had kept a
team of officials, who
used to say “Yes Sir”,
everywhere from Shik-
sha Sankul to the direc-
torate in Bikaner. The
command of the Text
Book Board, Samagra
Shiksha Abhiyan were
also in the hands of Do-
tasra’s favorite offic-
ers.
Dotasra had taken
all the rights in his own
hands and without car-
ing about the rules and
regulations, he took
decisions. When Man-
ju Rajpal became an
obstacle in his way, he
got her transferred
within 1 year. When
Aparna Arora came in
her place and tried to
teach the lesson of the
rules, then he got her
discharged in 14
months.
The minister was
“all in all” of the de-
partment at that time
but now the situation
has changed complete-
ly and the present Min-
ister BD Kalla and Ad-
ditional Chief Secre-
tary Goyal are working
as one and one eleven.
The secret is that
Kalla and Goyal have
family closeness and
friendship since school
time. This old and cor-
dial relationship be-
tween the two is prov-
ing to be a blessing-in-
disguise for the educa-
tion department today
.
The whole functioning
is going smoothly and
as per rules and regula-
tions.
The transfer policy
of teachers, which has
been stalled for 3 years,
has become a reality.
The recruitment of
teachers is gaining mo-
mentum, transparency
and secrecy are being
taken seriously in the
examination.
The condition of
Mahatma Gandhi Eng-
lish Medium Schools is
being improved. Ef-
forts are being made
for effective monitor-
ing to increase the en-
rollment of students
and prevent dropouts.
The officers have also
started working with-
out any stress.
When all is well be-
tween the Minister and
the Additional Chief
Secretary, the same
situation is happening
in the entire depart-
ment as well. It is also
worth mentioning that
Pawan Kumar Goyal
has commanded this
department for 4 years
in the past from the
year 2014 to 2018. His
old experience is also
proving useful now.

MANY PARTIES MAY
MERGE IN BJP
In this changing
weather, it seems the
yellow Sunlight has
also changed to saffron.
When the ballot box
opened on March 10, the
hopes of many parties
were also dashed. Even
though the BJP stunned
its opponents with its
trot but many questions
still remain unan-
swered. As a Congress
leader says, “Modi’s vic-
tory is friable from
within because, before
the latest poll results of
5 states, BJP already
had 399 seats out of to-
tal 690 seats. Now after
the results, it is left with
356 seats i.e. 43 seats
have been reduced.”
But it should also be
asked as to what hap-
pened to the morale of
the Congress in Punjab
where it handed over
the victory to AAP. How
did the call of victory in
U’khand turn into an
outcry of defeat? Why
did the public reject Pri-
yanka’s ‘ladki hoon lad
sakti hoon’ chant in
UP? Therefore, today
there is a need for intro-
spection not by the BJP
but by the Congress,
whose many big leaders
are still ready to break
away. With the opposi-
tion flag-waving in 4 of
these 5 states, the BJP
plans to merge at least 3
parties into its Saffron
fold by end of this year.
Mayawati is said to be
ready for this, who, in
this polls transferred 70
to 80 percent of her core
vote bank directly to the
BJP. Her eyes are on an
honorable farewell
from politics. Her eyes
are on President post
but if she does not get
it, she may agree on the
post of VP
. This way she
will get rid of all the
cases and will be able to
live a peaceful constitu-
tional life. If this hap-
pens, she may be ready
to merge her party BSP
with BJP. More or less
same is the case with
Nitish. His first attempt
was to become the face
of Opp unit at Centre.
He again contacted PK
in this regard, explored
the possibilities for
himself, but if the plan
does not materialise,
then he too may easily
surrender to the saf-
fron. If he is made the
Prez or VP, he may be
ready to merge his par-
ty JDU with the BJP as
JDU’s influence is now
limited to Bihar only
.
HINTS OF BIG
CHANGES IN BJP
ORGANISATION
As per sources, there
may be changes in
BJP leadership before
polls in HP. High com-
mand can play bets on
Nadda in HP and Dhar-
mendra Pradhan’s
name is in discussion
for BJP Prez in place of
Nadda. But if Nadda re-
fuses, another face can
get chance in HP. As per
sources, BJP can play
bets on Anurag Thakur.
BL Santosh may also be
changed from the post
of Gen Secy of BJP and
NN Tripathi may re-
place Santosh. At pre-
sent, Tripathi is han-
dling the responsibility
of Gen secy in Bihar
and Jharkhand. On the
other hand, this matter
is also being considered
in the high command as
to how much free hand
should be given to Yogi
in UP and how can there
be better coordination
between Yogi and Sunil
Bansal? Meanwhile,
there are talks of chang-
ing UP BJP Chief Swa-
tantra D Singh as well.
‘ONE NATION, ONE
ELECTION’
SPECULATION
INTENSIFIES
This old idea of ‘One
Nation, One Elec-
tion’ of PM Modi has
started making waves
again after the bumper
victory of BJP in four
states. Modi has been
saying in the past that
‘Parliamentary elec-
tions and assembly elec-
tionsof allstatesshould
be held simultaneously,
this will save a lot of
money for the country
.’
PM Modi came up with
this idea about four
years ago. More than Rs
60,000 crore were spent
on 2019 LS polls alone. It
is said that ECI also
agrees with this opin-
ion of PM, but to do so,
a consensus will need to
be created among other
political parties.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TO MUKESH SAHNI?
What will happen to
Mukesh Sahni,
who repeatedly cursed
the BJP? Will BJP give
him a dressing down?
Mukesh Sahni’s Vi-
kassheel Insaan Party
i.e. VIP is a popular
party among the Mal-
lahs-Nishads of Bihar
which is currently a
part of NDA in Bihar.
But despite this, Sahni
violated the accepted
conventions of NDA
and fielded 53 candi-
dates from his party in
this UP election. Sahni,
who took oath of oust-
ing BJP from power in
UP, forgot this time that
he had tasted power in
Bihar only because of
the BJP. The power of
making him MLC again
is also in the hands of
BJP. It should be noted
that Sahni’s VIP party
had 4 MLAs in Bihar,
out of which one Musa-
fir Paswan passed away
.
There are 3 left who can
join BJP anytime, be-
cause it was the BJP
who made them contest
the election with the
symbol of VIP. Then
what will Mukesh Sah-
ni do? To harbour en-
mity for someone who
gives you shelter?
STONE PELTING
AND LATHICHARGE
IN SIRATHU!
On day of counting
of votes on March
10, everyone’s eyes were
fixed on Sirathu seat in
UP where Deputy CM
KP Maurya and Dr Pal-
lavi Patel of Apna Dal
Kameravadi were face
to face. All eyes were on
this hot seat, then the
counting of votes was
stopped late in the even-
ing and after that Kes-
hav and Pallavi sup-
porters clashed with
each other. Police re-
sorted to lathi charge to
control the matter. Only
then Yogi called offi-
cials saying, “There
should not be any rig-
ging in counting of
votes and work should
be done honestly”.
IS SENA COMING
CLOSER TO BJP?
Shiv Sena chief and
Mah CM Uddhav
Thackeray is a bit ill
these days. Anyway his
real concern is to estab-
lish his son Aaditya in
politics. It is said that he
often talks to the leaders
of other parties to keep
getting hints. Uddhav’s
real concern is actually
about stand of NCP
, an
ally in his govt. Uddhav
feels that Sharad Pawar
himself is not so com-
fortable and open to ac-
cept Aaditya. At the
sametime,whenhewent
to meet Modi last year
with his son Aaditya, he
found Modi’s attitude to-
wards son very positive.
Perhaps this is reason
why these days Uddhav
is once again increasing
closeness with BJP
.

“They (BJP) won by

polarisation. Everyone
knows about Covid-19
management in country
and UP
. Still, Opp lagged
behind as they (BJP)
speak cleverly. I believe
truth triumphs in end,”
Gehlot said. “PM Modi
speaks cleverly. He ac-
cuses Opp of defaming
agencies but the entire
country can see what’s
happening today. What
is happening with I-T,
ED, CBI. World can see
how raids are being con-
ducted. We’ll have to
take the truth to com-
mon people, only then
BJP will be exposed.
Truth will come out

Durgapur, Sofia moved to
Mumbai to follow the path
of her dreams! When asked
about her journey the diva
said, “I remember partici-
pating in a lot of dance
competitions in my child-
hood, my mom always en-
couraged me to pursue my
dreams. When I was in
high school my professors
pushed me to get into mod-
elling and acting, they re-
minded me of my good
height and features time
and again, the rest is his-
tory then.”
Talking about her acting
journey she shared, “Eure-
ka moment when it dawned
upon me that I wanted to be
an actress. It somehow feels
like it’s always been there,
the acting ka keeda, during
my college day I took acting
lessons and worked in thea-
tre for five years straight. I
also bagged an award for
Best Writer on National
Level. I’ve done three music
videos, my first break was
for the T-Series”.
When asked about her
habits, likes and dislikes
she said, “I am an emotion-
al eater (A BIG ONE). Back
in my High school days, I
was fat. My favourite junk
food is Pani-puri. It’s my all-
time favourite. Besides eat-
ing, reading is one of my
favourite hobbies, I love Ra-
punzel a lot! That book has
inspired me to follow my
dreams and I would say ‘lis-
ten to your heart and don’t
give up. Try to build your
empire with the stones, hat-
ers throw on you.”
The stunning star said
that she was pretty over-
weight in her school days
but looking at the beauty,
one cannot believe the
same. Her constant hard
work and dedication
towards staying fit
has been a huge
source of inspira-
tion for so many
around. She
looks forward
to earning a
huge name
and fame in
the model-
ling and act-
ing indus-

Horoscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
IN THE HEART OF
TRAGIC OPTIMISM
ur mother’s
generation
at large are
fearful of be-
ing in a con-
stant happy
state be-
cause they await the
low depths of sorrow
that lurk on the other
side of their euphor-
ic times. And more
often than not, they
feel guilty for experi-
encing joy and being
the ‘happy puppy’ in
good times.
On the other side,
someone like me is
fiercely independent
and passionately sad
through the highs
and lows that life has
to offer!
Hence, we hover
above the borderline
of self – destruction
and melodramatic ex-
pressions. Well, the
truthisthatthereisan
interesting duality to
life, and this is exhib-
itedbyeverythingthat
nature has to offer:
• Love and hate
• Joy and sorrow
• Darkness and light
• Life and death
• Good and evil
Some people like to
focus on one side over
the other and pretend
that the other side
does not exist. They
camouflage their
emotions under the
garb of being con-
tent, gratitude and
having no expecta-
tions at all…But in
reality
, they are living
in a bubble free from
elemental virtues of
honesty, candour and
acceptance.
In my opinion,
LIFE is a business
and you are the CEO
who decides whether
this business of liv-
ing is going to be easy
or difficult.
In 1940s, Psychia-
trist and psychother-
apist Viktor Frankl
had developed a con-
cept called logothera-
py, after surviving
Nazi concentration
camps. His experi-
ence and theories are
detailed in his book,
“Man’s Search for
Meaning.” He be-
lieved that humans
are motivated by
something called a
“will to meaning,” He
emphasised that life
can have meaning
even in the most
wretched circum-
stances and the moti-
vation for living
comes from finding
that meaning.
And therefore, I to-
tally believe that life
weaves a tragic triad
of human existence
thatcannotbeescaped:
Pain, guilt and death.
I’m sure you are
thinking that this ar-
ticle is going too dark
now, but trust me that
this will open new
doors in your thought
process. It is obvious-
ly tempting to take a
pessimist’s view of
life and scoff at opti-
mism in general. The
void that is created by
pain and suffering
and the loss that can
smoothly make us
fall into the apparent
meaninglessness pit!
I propose a solid
case for tragic opti-
mism in this world,
precisely because of
our innate ability to
find meaning, despite
the tragedies that
surround us. It re-
minds of Milton’s
saying, “our minds
can make hell out of
heaven, or heaven out
of hell.”
It is our own duty,
to not let what hap-
pens or what will
happen, turn us down
the road of the pessi-
mist, the fatalist, the
defeatist and the
doomsday expert.
We are innately
blessed with atremen-
douscapacitytotrans-
mute life’s negative
aspects into
something
construc-
tive — to
make the
best out
of any
g i v e n
circum-
s t a n c e .
F r a n k l
witnessed
itintheconcentration
camps, exemplified
in those who held on
to their humanity /
dignity and showed
virtue even in the
heart of darkness.
Even during those
darkest of times, he
preached, “Say yes
to life in spite of eve-
rything.”
WE ALL SEE IT,
DON’T WE?
• In someone who still
makes a point of smil-
ing, laughing and jok-
ing…even when
they’ve been given a
morbid diagnosis.
• In those who use
their suffering as a
fuel for their creativi-
ty, or an opportunity
to grow stronger and
exercise resilience.
• In the one’s who take
immense responsibil-
ity and grab life by the
horns, no matter
how many times
they fail.
• In the spouses
who find
more than
just sor-
row in
the ab-
sence of
his part-
ner
.
Life is indeed full
of surprises…good,
bad, sweet, bitter and
we can choose to face
life with an attitude
that is steadfast to
make the best of its
pleasures and its
pain alike.
The word ‘opti-
mism’ has been de-
rived from the Latin
word ‘optimum’ that
simply means “the
best”. Life will cer-
tainly throw some-
thing at you, so bear
it with an attitude
that makes you
stronger, rather than
weaker.
• Don’t let your suffer-
ing go waste, turn
them into stories of
success and resilience.
• If you have experi-
enced guilt, use it to
grow and change into
a better person.
• Reflect upon a deep
understanding for the
fleetingness of life,
spur yourself to take
responsibility and
meaningful action.
Remember, Life is a
precious gift and the
world is increasingly
getting full of pessi-
mists…It could sure-
ly do with a few more
optimists!
