We hear all the times that ‘Winners never quit’. They run, fall, wake up and run again but never stop. They are ready to fail hundred times but are never willing to quit. And eventually, the person will achieve the dream. So, never stop, keep moving. But does it really? Life doesn’t work that way. Sometimes life will hit you hard, so hard that you cannot wake up. Will all the risk that you take for the success that you dreamed of is worth all the pain? I don’t say, it is better to quit. But re-thinking is a crucial element. What is the worth, if you jump into the river again and again but you don’t know how to swim or if the flood is very big and it is constantly pushing you back in the riverbank? Re-trying might get drowned ! I have realized that it is important to understand the real value of work that you are doing and its importance to you. How long will it take and is the time worth spending? What is the benefit that you going to have, once you achieve your dream? What is t...

My father prayed a lot, every year, every month, every day and most of the time, multiple times in a day, in morning, daytime and evening. But, what have he achieved from it? First, his commitment towards spirituality has given him a hope. A hope that everything will get better and better in his surroundings. His prayers have kept him strong, moral and optimist, through which he has been able to fight all his physical and mental problems. All his energy gets rejuvenate with the prayer and faith. Second, prayers have certainly worked in our case too. By ‘us’, I mean my brother and I. Upbrought in a harsh family situation with very limited opportunities (of course, it is comparative) were available, he and his prayers have pushed us to break our boundary of success in very short period. And along with our hard work, his prayer and faith has worked well. So, what is the takeaway? Prayers and faith are like water hitting a rock and making the transformation in it. It has a poten...

The lesson that I learned during my 27 years of journey. 1. There is absolutely no substitute for integrity, perseverance and hard work. Both happiness and success mostly depend upon these three key elements. Therefore, it is essential to 'break the comfort' and train oneself every time to be honest, determined and absorbed. 2. Failure is not a step to success. But it does give you an opportunity to rethink about your dream, value, passion, approach, strategy and action. It is not possible to win every time, losing is inevitable, therefore, it is better to get along with the failure. 3. Empowerment cannot be coercive. It should be tied-up and owned by the recipient. Weak ones are simply afraid, lazy or hedonistic to get out of their daily routine. In this case, stress on persistent growth might seem idealistic which create more harm for both the parties. 4. Learn to be alone. There will be a rabble of people with you when they need you but very few people stay when...

Reflecting Intention Do you think Prachanda, Baidhya, Bhattarai and their colleagues started ‘People’s war’ popularly known as Nepal’s civil war back in 1996 to come into power and accumulate all the resources of Nepal?  Or you think leaders from Nepali Congress and CPN UML started their political journey with the hunger of earning money and getting their dear and near one’s into public position? What was the reason behind them to struggle for democracy and justice when authoritarian regimes were putting a price tag on their life? What motivated them to keep their life into an edge of a knife and struggle for democracy repeatedly?  As a rationale thinker, I can argue that while starting their journey of politics their primary concern was not to earn power, position or money, but to end inequality, discrimination, and establish co-governance, justice system and most importantly develop our country as a free, peaceful and prosperous one. As a result, we witnessed a signifi...

Baishakh 12 (April 25), this day will always be remembered by all the Nepali people around the globe. Last year in this very day 7.8 magnitude of earthquake and its after shock later on, took lives of 9000+ individuals whereas destroyed the infrastructures terribly of Nepal.  4 things to do on the remembrance of this day !! 1. Instead of holiday, it should be volunteering day and each citizens should join hand in hand to rebuild the demolished structures.  2. To heal the wound of grieving family - assistance should be provided in local level not only from government but also from community and individual people, Assistance not necessarily have to be related with finance and resources but also can be psychological support. 3. Everyone specially children and youths should be involved in 'Earthquake drill' so that they practice the technique to save themselves and their community in such disastrous situation in future. 4. Lighting diyo (Candling) at evening will be a good idea t...

Let’s not start with government this time, let’s start with individual. What a person does to achieve something in his life? What does s/he do to become successful? Reading the title of this essay, you must have already presumed the answer is ‘PLAN’. Indeed, almost all of the people in this world have planned, whether it is doing school assignment or preparing breakfast before leaving office, whether it is saving the lives of millions of people through heroic action or murdering someone. Whatever, the action is- most of the time, people plan, consciously or unconsciously. In this essay, I will be highlighting both the ‘Plan’ and the ‘Planning’ as a process, most of the time linking it to different institutions and countries. Plan is a set of actions that have been thought of as a way to do or achieve something (Meriam Webster Dictionary), whereas, planning is the process of making plan to make something done. It is with no doubt that the success that several institutions of Nepal...
