The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

Blessings on the hand of women!

Angels guard its strength and grace,

In the palace, cottage, hovel,

Oh, no matter where the place;

Would that never storms assailed it,

Rainbows ever gently curled;

For the hand that rocks the cradle

Is the hand that rules the world.

                                                                        - William Rose Wallace

What an important and awesome job a mother has! Motherhood is just about the greatest calling in the world. The thing that makes a mother so wonderful is her sacrificing spirit. The will to sacrifice for her part of the soul, her time, strength, career and even her own health for the sake of her child.

 A roman Catholic once said,’ give us the children until they are seven years old and you can keep them the rest of their lives.’ He meant, of course, that the first years of a child are the most important, impressionable and once in a lifetime. The teaching, love, mannerism, etiquettes, understanding and care a child receives as a clad will never be forgotten. A child is like graphite in his/her initial years of growth, a mother does not only take care of her baby she governs the destiny of her race.

It is her hand that rocks the cradle and it is her hand that indirectly rules the world. The future of any nation, the future of the generations to come depends on the upbringing given to a child by the mother of the rising generation.

We all should remember that the greatest leaders, conquerors, politicians and many more of the world had been helpless and dependent babies once. Had it not been for the fond care of their mothers, they would never have grown up to mark their great presence on earth.

P.S: an act of praise for my mother who is preeminent force for change and love in my world.
On her birthday: 14^th February, 2013. Love u Mumma J

SUCCESSFUL IS HE WHO BUILDS THE BLOCKS WITH THE STONES THROWN AT HIM

Librans are said to be born criticizers. So, just to change my pace I thought being a motivator this time. :-p

Man is a regular learner. We learn so many things at every step in life. There are two aspects of any situation. Either we succeed or we have to face the failure. But if we learn from our failure we can certainly build the success.

People always tend to find faults in everything. This has been done with every successful person. Majority of the people criticize the policies of great leaders but the strong personalities would not listen to them and tend to move forward. When Gandhiji started non-violence movement to free India from the clutches of Britisher, there were hardly any takers. But he moved forward and made a dent in the thinking of majority of the Indians and it was his non-violence that compelled the Britisher to move out of India.

As it goes “share we should the merits, and shun our sins”, we can always take out something positive out of every negative thought. It is always the positive attitude that helps us to face the awkward situations and come out with flowering colors.

Scientists face adverse circumstances and criticism when they do research work but ultimately when they discover or invent something for the betterment of humanity, everyone praises their efforts. It is always someone’s criticism or negative remarks make the way for the positive inspiration. One of the best examples of this is the ex-Indian cricket captain, Saurav Ganguly, also made a descent comeback once in matches amidst all the criticism from all sections of society but ultimately he has done it and shown to the people what determination can do.

So irrespective of the failure, negative or advance situations, one can make the way to the success with his positive attitude and determination.

P.S : It’s something I wrote during my school days. Just wanted to share!!
