When the earth celebrated it's 2010 th birthday, my dad gave presented me a set of six books. All the books were authored by the immortal soul, Swami Vivekananda. The essence of those six books was "How should youth develop their personality".
Vivekanada urges all the youth of India, to spend quality time in improving their personality. Here personality doesn't mean looking smart, handsome alone. He takes a holistic approach on defining personality. He states, a youth should be physically fit, mentally fit and spiritually fit. Of course, most know what physically fit means. I will be writing more on the mental and spiritual part.
Staying mentally fit means being without worries. Worry is like a rocking chair. It will keep you occupied but will take you nowhere. Worry clouds your thinking and the grosser effect of it is very less concentration on the job you are doing at present. Eg. When I open a book, I start reading it with full concentration for 5 mins, then it starts slowly to decline. At some point of time, my eyes will be rolling over the text, but my thoughts and concentration will be somewhere. These are the grosser effects of some things that are subtly wrong within our selves. To go into the exact subtler causes will take up a lot of space for me. (to be contd.....)
