  Short motivational speeches with Sajendra

The innate qualities of certain people cannot be changed. | A donkey carrying a load of books is still a donkey.

Do not try to make another fall in trouble. Perhaps your own loved ones could be at the receiving end of your actions. | Never plant thorns on someone's path. Your own children may take that road barefooted one day. 

Do everything with a good heart and never expect anything in return. I promise you, you will never be disappointed. | Good work is always rewarded. 

There is no end to the problems a person faces in life. If you analyzed the problems you could find that the you face them due to two reasons: one, you often act in different situations without much thinking ; two , you also, at times, keep thinking without acting. 

There is nothing permanent on earth. It was Gautama Buddha who preached first of the impermanence of all the worldly pleasures. No matter how far a stone is thrown, it will fall to the ground. All things eventually come to an end , no matter how long lasting they seem. Every beginning has an end.

  

Life is strange. We are born empty handed. But we spend our whole life chasing after everything. Still one day we leave this life with nothing. So we should make sure that our soul gets more than our hands.

You cannot judge a book by its cover

  It is wrong to judge people by their appearance. A person travelling in a chauffeur driven limonene could be someone who engages in all kinds of malpractices. At the same time, a tattooed man with a hoarse voice could be gentle at heart. 

  The famous poem Reuban Bright by Edwin Arlington, best describes this idea. Reuben Bright, a local butcher , slaughters animals for an honest living. Because of his bloody and violent profession, society assumes he is a cold, tough, and emotionless "brute". However, when his beloved wife falls ill and dies, Reuben breaks down completely. He weeps openly like a child, packs away her handmade belongings in a chest with cedar boughs, and commits one final, shocking act: he tears down his own slaughterhouse. 

A proverb| "Actions speak louder than words." 

The meaning: What people do is more important than what they say. 

Proverb| The grass is greener on the other side. 

Often people are deceived by mere appearance. Most of us come to conclusions by looking at other people's life styles or professions that they lead a better life than us. Only when we study them closer we find the reality. 

Proverb| Too many cooks spoil the broth. 

Just like a soup (broth) gets ruined if every chef throws in their own random ingredients, a project, event, or decision can completely fall apart if there are too many opinions, overlapping bosses, and no clear leader. While teamwork is valuable, this saying reminds us that sometimes, having fewer decision-makers leads to a much better outcome.
