A Leader in my Opinion

 A great leader is someone who neglects 99 of your follies and commends on 1 good work you've done. He'll never belittle subordinates, pass on condescending remarks, vilify dull minds and infact be the quintessence of inspiration, epitome of motivation and byword for success! At the end of everyday, he'll assess number of colleagues he helped make a difference! That's the Leader we need, that's the Leader a Nation needs, that's the Leader, You and I need!

Can Money Buy Happiness??

 

Can money buy happiness

Money has certainly made life convenient but we shouldn’t confuse convenience with happiness. Money might be able to buy predisposing factors to happiness but not happiness per se. Worth of a thing can be gauged by the placement of value by people. Money to a toddler won’t make him happy. Money can buy a candy that can make a kid happy but not the money itself. Now, candy can be presented to the kid from a plethora of ways like baking, stealing, borrowing, the kid finds pleasure in biting into the candy and not in finding the source of its appearance. Money doesn’t make him happy but the candy does. It’s like saying money can buy a house but not home.

Money is a recent development, imagine the era of prehistoric civilization where there was no monetary concept, were our forefathers grumpy and sad all the time without even an iota of happiness in them? Well, if you still argue that money can indeed buy happiness, let’s exhume a rotting carcass from a graveyard, cram a billion Ngultrums* in his coffin and place the corpse back. Let’s return the day after and see if the corpse’s smiling.

Happiness is not a product at a sales counter that money can buy.

 *Ngultrum is Bhutanese Currency calculated at par with Indian Rupee
