AAP BADO ~ DESH KO BADAO

Today, we have a
Questionable moral climate, Lack of strong, value-based up-bringing, and Celebration of negative role models

The inequality, the inefficiency, the indifference, the ineffectiveness . . . the growing poverty, the exploding corruption, cheating, crime, violence, vulgarity, ever-increasing pollution, ~ not just in environment, but in thought, word and action, decreasing standards, declining values, weakening family ties, get-quick-rich by any means attitude . . .

I am not interested in listening to 100 ways by which it cannot be done. Can you tell me one way in which it can

be done? .

Sri A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Former President of India in Vision to Mission (2003)

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest. Poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice, the protection of a fundamental human right: the right to dignity and a decent life.

Nelson Mandela
The Campaign to Make Poverty History

If you cant explain it simply, you dont understand it well enough

Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or, do you want a chance to change the world ?

 Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, ~ parents have very little time for each other; parents have not much time for their children; and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world Mother Theresa

The hands that serve are holier than the lips that pray.

Let us endeavour to Light a lamp, however small, instead of remaining inactive, cursing the enveloping darkness

Let all of us get motivated to work for a

BETTER TOMORROW
for

EVERYONE OF US

Be committed to bringing out your best ~ always, and remember to improve it continuously.

Some more Thoughts to ponder before we move further

Are you concerned or will continue to remain unconcerned ?

If you remain unconcerned, it results in non-thinking carelessness.

Being concerned, results in commitment.

No use in having a RELIGION which you cannot use in everyday life.

Quality must become our RELIGION .

How do you ensure QUALITY in everything ?

Try to get the best out of everything Yes, every one.

Dont be disheartened by a catalogue of seemingly insurmountable difficulties and mounting problems. Open up and search for uncommon solutions to solve our complex problems. What is needed is integration of Science, Spirituality and Social Wisdom.

Surely, you got so much from the Society.

Why not we commit ourselves to give something back to the society ?

The future of our Society,

any society for that matter,

lies in developing a culture of honesty

which implies not encouraging a culture of dishonesty.
