Fall down 7 times, Stand Up the 8th 💙🌈


"Nana korobi, Ya Oki” is a Japanese proverb that roughly translates to: “Fall down 7 times, stand up the 8th 💁

Failing or being rejected at something is not necessarily a bad thing! 
I too have gone through such situations and know that the feeling of being failed at something brings disappointment. I cried because I lost the opportunitied that could have changed my life. 
But then, in retrospect I realised maybe that was not meant for me, I really don't know what God has in-store for me🤷. But that would be definitely the BEST ❤️
Sometimes, we take failure as an absolute extreme🤷, 
But the Rejections that we face in our life are accelerators,a course correction to our destiny💙
Resilience, Strength, Perseverance, Determination & Integrity this is what I learnt from failures & Rejections I faced in my life🌈
Perseverence taught me to be optimistic about the future🥰So if I had to choose just one skill in my life, it would be perseverance💙

Never give up.
It's a journey into self-growth & self-exploration❤️
If you fall, learn to get back up🌿


If you fall down this time, learn to fall forward the next🌟
No matter how many times you get knocked down, get up again💫
There are no quick fixes in life & anything of real worth will necessarily take much struggle and perseverance🌸
Success does not have to be fast, what is more important is that one simply does their absolute best and remains persistent🌼
So let's fall 7 times, & stand up the 8th💙
What say?
Perhaps we ought to keep count of the number of times we stood up instead?
Accepting rejections is the best way to become the best version of yourself ❣️

Let's make Treasures from Trash💙
Diamonds 💎from Dust
& Beauty from Ashes ❤️
Let's fall, & stand up again and again💙

Let's not give up💙

Let's embrace ourselves 💙

Granny's Patchwork of Love❤️

"Your Grandmother would've been proud of you, if she were here today" This is something I often hear from my family and relatives. She passed away when I was in Grade 8 and I miss her more as I grow older because now I understand what values she imbibed in me  My Grandma was a Social Science teacher and a Principal in a Government School, and my source of inspiration & guidance. She was an angel in disguise who taught me how to care. She was a spiritual person who believed in God and treated everyone with love and respect.  She always said "You never know when you are interacting with an angel, so be kind and generous always".  Since she passed, all I have is her fond memories, her valuable lessons & our laughs and giggles.  One particular thing she asked me to take as an advice as an oxigen canister in this fast spreading virus borne world.  That was -"Don’t ever let your ice cream melt while you’re counting someone else’s sprinkles.”

History isn't just about Past🤝

"To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child, For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of History." - Marcus Tullius Cicero I'm often asked - What is the use or relevance of studying history? Why on earth does it matter What happened long time ago? The answer is that history is inescapable. It studies the past and legacies of past in present. Far from being a dead subject, it conmects things through time and encourages its students to take a long view of such connections.   Understanding the linkage between the past and present is absolutely basic for a good understanding of the condition of being human. That, in a nutshell, is why history matters. It is not just ‘useful’, it is essential. The broad span of human experience, viewed both in depth and longitudinally over time, is the subject of history as a field of study. History enables us to contemplate the e

An Orphan's Paradise ❤️

What is paradise?' Teacher asked. "Home,' the orphan in class replied. The reply hit the teacher hard, being a woman who couldn't conceive, it was a blessing in disguise for her💛 She adopted the child clearing all the formalities & said to the child, "Let me hold the door for you.I may have never walked in your shoes, but I can see your soles are worn, your strength is torn under the weight of a story I have never lived before. Let me hold the door for you.  After all you've walked through, It's the least I can do." ❤️ After the clouds of gloom hurled over the child's mind and the thunderous tears ripped his soul apart;  She came as a rainbow in his unkempt life and her colours healed his wounded heart❤️✨
