MATTERING



In connection with Brian Tracy's quote I happened to come across this morning an old short video by Prabhu Gaur Gopal Das, my favourite spiritual orator, in which he mentioned about one of the amazing secrets of life - "To make others feel important."...

Each one of us yearns for love, attention and recognition, which are so very innate that as adults we get provoked to lividity when they aren't forthcoming, the anger of being ignored or unacknowledged. Which brings me to the title word "mattering."...

The sense of belongingness and being in one's scheme of things do have their prominence in one's routine. Philosophers concur that we can’t pursue life unless we believe that we matter...

While motivations and perspectives may vary, it surely matters to matter. Not to necessarily be sensational, but to be very much in the loop of actualities is probably what matters to most...

It has been studied that even the slightest ignoring of a person can cause intense feelings of vexation and low self-esteem in sensitive individuals, with ensuing behavioral changes and rebellious overtones. On an another note, the babies' cries and tantrums for attention are well known...

"Mattering" is a word to mean feeling of importance, of significance and of inclusiveness. Mattering encompasses being recognized, being appreciated and being valued by others...

Making others comfortable is an important aspect of human relationship. A genuine smile, a gentle handshake, expressing gratitude, remembering the details, appreciating successes, noticing the likes-dislikes, words of encouragement, extending a helping hand etc. are few examples...

To quote Nelson Mandela, “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”...

Prabhu Gaur Gopal Das ends by saying -
"When I is replaced by we, illness becomes wellness."...

FLAWED PRINCIPLE

It is International Self-Care Day today, and yet another 24th, marking 17 months of conflict in Eastern Europe. With t he Kerch Strait bridge suffering yet another damage last week and Russia, almost reflexly, putting brakes on the hitherto 'food-prices stabilizing' Black Sea grain deal followed by strikes on Odesa, fresh dark clouds of hunger loom large on several dependent nations... With much water having flown under the 'David-Goliath' bridge, one wonders whether peace would ever be given a chance, since such moves of hope are hardly visible over the horizon... While it is said that everything that begins has to end, b e it lives, an event, a thought, an article, anything, but perhaps war not so easily; not unprecedented either. Yes, it could end after a certain length of time, anybody's guess, but in this context one would now certainly ask as to 'at what cost?'... No constituent of nature works on a principle of profit excep...

WORLD BRAIN DAY

22nd of July is observed as World Brain Day since 2014. The day was chosen during the 21st World Congress of Neurology held in Vienna on September 22, 2013 under the aegis of World Federation of Neurology, which incidentally was also formed on 22 July, in 1957... The day aims to educate people regarding brain health, to help people afflicted with neurological disorders, and to the furtherance of research and advances in therapies and prevention... The theme for 2023 is - "Brain Health and Disability: Leave No One Behind"... Brain, a conglomeration of nerve filaments and connections, which if untangled would measure a distance of around 60 kilometers, plays a pivotal role in all aspects of our intellect, thoughts and response... About ten trillion connections thus help us see, register, read, write, speak, learn, think, analyze, move etc. to face the challenges thrown at us on a daily basis at all levels, irrespective of age, race, gender, nationality and soci...

November 8th is observed as International Day Of Radiology as a tribute to the great German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen for his discovery of X-Rays in 1895.. The 1845 born Nobel Laureate of 1901, Röntgen majored in Physics and completed his PhD at the University of Zurich.. Discovering X-rays accidentally while using cathode rays for images of his wife’s hand, which depicted the bones and the wedding ring, Röntgen had made a giant leap for mankind in medical diagnosis.. International Day of Radiology (IDoR) was first celebrated in the year 2012 with the combined efforts of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), and the American College of Radiology (ACR).. The ESR began the European Day of Radiology on February 10th, 2011, but soon it was replaced by the International Radiology Day, along with the decision to change the date to November 8th, commemorating the day of Röntgen's discovery.. The theme for 2024 is - “R...
