Irrelevance
by: Anthony de Mello, SJ, One Minute Wisdom
All questions at the public meeting that day were about life beyond the grave.
The Master only laughed and did not give a single answer.
To his disciples, who demanded to know the reason for his evasiveness, he later said, "Have you observed that it is precisely those who do not know what to do with this life who want another that will last forever?"
"But is there life after death or is there not?" persisted a disciple.
"Is there life before death?-that is the question!" said the Master enigmatically.

This thing has always puzzled me in my life that what is the trick to keep ourselves engaged in positive activities when we are down. There are lots of motivational stuffs available on Net and also so many self-improvement books available. Do we really feel like reffering all those when we are just completely demotivated?
What we lose? How can we regain our confidence? How to proceed in the most negative circumstances? Is their any scientific way to come out of these killing-like situation.
Let's share our views and this may help some of us to start a fresh if they are coming in search of some practical thoughts.
Happy Sharing..
