"Light House"

Written by krishnan.c


Having a mind which did not have any doubt or confusion or distraction, is another requisite to achieve success.

Thought pattern of everybody forms an important aspect to get this state of mind.

There are many thought patterns,which forbid us to have such state of mind.

The first and foremost thought pattern that everybody should have is that we should not have even a bit of thinking to do undesirable things or unfavorable things to others.

Even if you are not able to do desirable things to others,you should not think about to do undesirable things to others.

I am referring a Tamil(one ofrepparttar oldest Indian language)proverb here. The Proverb is "Marappom Mannippom".It means, "Let us forget and forgive".

Jealousy isrepparttar 138825 next thought pattern which block everybody's journey to success.

You won't get anything to gain for yourself out of jeleousy.But you invite diseases like blood pressure,tension,etc.,out of jealousy.

Jealousy is seen common amongrepparttar 138826 peoples irrespective of their profession,business,studies,etc.,

Jealousy is not a progressive one to anybody who wants to achieve success but it ruins all repparttar 138827 chances of his/her progress,because h/she always think aboutrepparttar 138828 success of other person inrepparttar 138829 negative sense and forget or omitting or missing his chances to become successful in his career,business,profession or studies.

H/she forget to explorerepparttar 138830 possibilities to attain success in his field of profession. H/she don't have time to explore his possibilities,and always thinking about others in repparttar 138831 negative sense.

When his/her mind is diluted withrepparttar 138832 negative thinking of other person's progress, which we may call it as jealousy,his/her mind won't suggest or direct him to achieve success or anything for his welfare.

Because h/she already engaged his/her mind in a negative way.

So if you want to be success in your career take rid ofrepparttar 138833 jealousy from your heart.

When this is done your mind is crystal clear and will give you wonderful ideas,avenues for your progress,success,and welfare.

Obeying to your sub-conscious mind inrepparttar 138834 positive way isrepparttar 138835 next thought pattern that everybody should develop.You cannot find a true,loyal friend,philospher and guide than your sub-conscious mind.Because it isrepparttar 138836 best teacher built within you.

It will never drag you to a dead end unless you think inrepparttar 138837 negative sense about yourself and others.

It will always guide you forrepparttar 138838 best thing and not to bad thing.

You should be loyal to your mind.

You should be very sincere to your mind.

You should be integrated to your mind.

When you are loyal,sinciore,integrated to your mind,automatically you will be loyal,sinciore and integrated to your childrens,your spouse,your employer,your customers,your masters,and to your country.

If you are not loyal to your mind,then you should get ready to acceptrepparttar 138839 punishment and sufferings.

The punishment will not be awarded by any court from any land,but from repparttar 138840 court of your heart.

You may seen/heard numerous news/scenes like this.Murderer is absconding after committingrepparttar 138841 crime.Police are searching him in every nook and corner.

But he is surrendering voluntarily beforerepparttar 138842 police after some time.

Who and what made him to surrender?It is nothing but his sub-conscious mind alone hasrepparttar 138843 power to drive him to surrender or acceptrepparttar 138844 punishment forrepparttar 138845 crime he has committed.

It would never let him to sleep,think,eat,unless it drive him to surrender or accept repparttar 138846 punishment.Anybody can be cheated by anybody but nobody can cheat their sub-conscious mind. Doing favor to those who did wrong to you is another thought pattern that everybody should built.

Even if you are not able to do any favor to him/her,atleast don't do any undesirable thing to him/her.

You might have experienced many sufferings because of somebody.But don't take or give importance to those sufferings andrepparttar 138847 person who did wrong to you,to your heart.

Because these arerepparttar 138848 feelings and sufferings that will raise often fromrepparttar 138849 deep of your heart and won't allow you to do any progressive work for your welfare and to your family.

You will be always thinking about him/her and forget to think for your welfare.

A Time for Rebellion!

When is it right for you to rebel againstrepparttar negative powers working against you? When are so weighed down by someone or something that it is absolutely justified for you to strike back? Have you ever asked that? If so, then read on and let’s look back in history and find a time when men of courage and perseverance did just that. Letrepparttar 138791 example of those who have gone before inspire and motivate you!

Rarely hasrepparttar 138792 world seen such a formidable body of men gather together for a solemn purpose as whenrepparttar 138793 members ofrepparttar 138794 Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in 1776.

In addition torepparttar 138795 weighty duty of representingrepparttar 138796 citizens of their respective colonies, each ofrepparttar 138797 delegates who would signrepparttar 138798 Declaration of Independence brought something significant to Philadelphia: Jefferson brought his eloquence;repparttar 138799 world famous, brilliant and elderly Ben Franklin lent celebrity and thus political cover; Sam Adams baptizedrepparttar 138800 movement with fire and intensity; Witherspoon's religious credibility boostedrepparttar 138801 cause inrepparttar 138802 eyes ofrepparttar 138803 devout.

Each signer was courageous and enormously significant; a few of them were truly indispensable.

But even amongrepparttar 138804 giants ofrepparttar 138805 American Revolution, one man stands out: John Hancock.

Hancock’s early life did not obviously reveal that he would become a leader inrepparttar 138806 independence movement. Hancock was educated atrepparttar 138807 Boston Latin School and Harvard, graduating from college when he was 17 years old. He then went to work for his uncle, and quickly gained a reputation for being capable and honest. He was even sent on trade trips to England and on one of these he observed – perhaps presciently –repparttar 138808 coronation of King George III.

When he was still a young man, he becamerepparttar 138809 heir torepparttar 138810 family shipping and import/export fortune andrepparttar 138811 richest man in Massachusetts. He thus took his place amongrepparttar 138812 Boston elite – most of whom remained unwaveringly loyal torepparttar 138813 British crown, no matter what abuses were heaped uponrepparttar 138814 colonies.

But Hancock would take a different course. He sided withrepparttar 138815 independence movement. Asrepparttar 138816 crown taxedrepparttar 138817 colonies and hampered their commerce, Hancock struggled to maintain his business and supply necessities to colonial merchants. Asrepparttar 138818 measures of King George III againstrepparttar 138819 colonists became more oppressive and lawless, Hancock became more evasive and covert.

He simply refused to give in. He organized a boycott of British tea and began smuggling lead, glass and paper into Massachusetts. Other merchants – even if they were not as eager to stick their neck out as Hancock – relied on him to fill their shops. Andrepparttar 138820 customers of those merchants who purchasedrepparttar 138821 necessities of life in those shops also depended on Hancock. Had Hancock takenrepparttar 138822 easy way out, plenty of people would have suffered.

Hancock namedrepparttar 138823 ship used in his smuggling operation Liberty and she rapidly became a tangible symbol ofrepparttar 138824 cause of colonial independence, if not a celebrity of sorts. When Liberty was impounded byrepparttar 138825 British in 1768, a riot followed.

Duringrepparttar 138826 1770's, Hancock was involved in every significant development leading up torepparttar 138827 Declaration:repparttar 138828 Boston Tea Party,repparttar 138829 organization ofrepparttar 138830 minutemen,repparttar 138831 financing ofrepparttar 138832 resistance. Indeed, it was often stated that, "Sam Adams wroterepparttar 138833 letters torepparttar 138834 newspapers, and John Hancock paidrepparttar 138835 postage." He worked tirelessly behindrepparttar 138836 scenes, but he was not afraid to take a bold public stand, as well. In his famous speech commemoratingrepparttar 138837 Boston Massacre of 1770, Hancock spoke to crowds in Boston, and reminded them never to forgetrepparttar 138838 events ofrepparttar 138839 previous year: "Let this sad tale of death never be told, without a tear; let notrepparttar 138840 heaving bosom cease to burn with a manly indignation atrepparttar 138841 relation of it, throughrepparttar 138842 long tracks of future time; let every parent tellrepparttar 138843 shameful story to his listening children, till tears of pity glisten in their eyes, or boiling passion shakes their tender frames.” He then turned his wrath directly on those soldiers who, in a moment of cowardice and panic, fired a volley into a crowd of civilians: "Dark and designing knaves, murderers, parricides! How dare you tread uponrepparttar 138844 earth, which has drunkrepparttar 138845 blood or slaughtered innocence shed by your hands? How dare you breathe that air, which wafted torepparttar 138846 ear of heavenrepparttar 138847 groans of those who fell a sacrifice to your accursed ambition? -- But ifrepparttar 138848 labouring earth doth not expand her jaws; ifrepparttar 138849 air you breathe is not commissioned to berepparttar 138850 minister of death; yet, hear it, and tremble! The eye of heaven penetratesrepparttar 138851 darkest chambers ofrepparttar 138852 soul; and you, though screened from human observation, must be arraigned, must lift your hands, red withrepparttar 138853 blood of those whose death you have procured, atrepparttar 138854 tremendous bar of God.” With words like that, it is little wonder that Hancock would soon be charged with treason and become a wanted man.

Fast forward to April of 1775. After a considerable build up of tension betweenrepparttar 138855 royalist military governor of Massachusetts and local independence-minded patriots, martial law was declared and a crackdown onrepparttar 138856 insurgents was ordered. Hancock and Sam Adams were publicly denounced as traitors and their arrest was ordered. Fortunately for Hancock and Adams, they had been warned by Paul Revere and were able to escape and hide beforerepparttar 138857 arrival of troops.

The governor’s troops then marched to Concord whererepparttar 138858 colonial militiamen were stockpiling weapons and gunpowder. The militiamen and red coats met. The Battle of Lexington and Concord followed,repparttar 138859 “shot heard roundrepparttar 138860 world.”

Whenrepparttar 138861 smoke cleared, more than fifty ofrepparttar 138862 colonial militia had been killed. The Crown had declared war onrepparttar 138863 colonies. What wouldrepparttar 138864 response be?

In John Hancock’s mind,repparttar 138865 necessary response was obvious.

Because of his certainty of purpose, Hancock was elected President ofrepparttar 138866 Continental Congress. One of his first acts (and obviously his most significant one) was to commission George Washington asrepparttar 138867 chief military officer ofrepparttar 138868 united army ofrepparttar 138869 colonies.

Byrepparttar 138870 timerepparttar 138871 delegates met in Philadelphia, Hancock's bold and famous signature onrepparttar 138872 Declaration was a mere formality. He had already put his life, fortune and sacred honor onrepparttar 138873 line inrepparttar 138874 cause of independence. In fact, he likely welcomedrepparttar 138875 company ofrepparttar 138876 other signers! His large and flamboyant signature went down in history and this quote – likely apocryphal – has often been attributed to him: "The British ministry can read that name without spectacles; let them double their reward." Whether he actually said that or not,repparttar 138877 sentiment is pure Hancock, fearless and defiant. Little wonder his name became synonymous withrepparttar 138878 word “signature”.
