Ice coated Chicago area

Wow!!! Last night Chicago area got Icy Rains and almost every thing got a nice coating of ice. So when I started for work this morning, it was such an amazing world out there, which despite of living in Chicago area for last 10 years I have never been able to see. I have taken some photographs of those beautiful scenes with my Phone Camera and now will let those talk to you.

Enjoy........................

Application of knowledge is more important than knowing more

Well I have been thru a lot since last post. First it was my father's death anniversary on Dec 2nd and then ups and downs of daily life with 2 teen agers and running a struggling business. Still keeping myself not only sane but also motivated and inspired; thanks to all the learning from scriptures, spirituality, Landmark education and also daily life.

I am now totally focused on applying all the learnings and knowledge in to real life. And that's what matters the most. In fact I have realized that we keep running after knowing more and more, but forget to apply whatever we have already learnt in life. This race for more knowledge is like seeking water in the mirage at desert. That's what I have been doing mostly in life; now it is the time to stop that and start acting on the learnings.

Lastly it is also dawning on me that like in most things 'less is more' is quite applicable even in knowledge. If we could apply even 2% of what we already know by the time we are an adult, it would be sufficient to lead a great life. So hence forth I committ to WALK THE TALK.
