Hakuna Matata! It's a problem-free philosophy...

Pumba and Nala help 'The Lion King' when in despair.

They tell 'The Lion King' Hakuna Matata!

'The Lion King' asks them, what Hakuna Matata means...

They tell him, Hakuna Matata! It's a problem-free philosophy.

Pumba shares how he overcomes his problems just by this philosophy which is Hakuna Matata!

In other words, it means that ignore your problems and live life as you have no problems and responsibilities.

'The Lion King' likes it and starts following the problem-free philosophy.

They all, 'The Lion King', sing along the problem-free signature song.

If you notice that when all they have done singing the song, 'The Lion King' can't stop singing the song.

And 'The Lion King tells them, the philosophy is just getting better. Let's sing even more.

When all else say, that we're tired and done singing this song.

Because they've been singing that problem-free song since their childhood.

But 'The Lion King' just learnt this new philosophy, he just loves the idea of forgetting or ignoring his problems, and responsibilities and decides to live with other animals.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well, here's why...

Who's 'The Lion King'?

He's the king. He has a responsibility to save other animals.

He has a problem which is his entire family is in danger and 'The Lion King' runs away from the problem.

He adopts the philosophy of 'Hakuna Matata' and ignores all his problems.

He ignores that he is the king of the forest. He forgets that he is powerful. He forgets that he's from the family of Kings.

There's a powerful lesson one can learn from this spectacular movie.

And that is...

Most of us are 'The Lion king' who decides to ignore our problems, and responsibilities and live a problem-free life.

Most people's philosophy is

"everything will be alright"

live like "there's no problem"

"problems come and go"

No, they won't come and go. They come and stay with you until you do something about it.

Don't forget you're a human being and we're born to solve our own problems and the societies.

If you're following "Hakuna Matata" it means that you're addicted to this philosophy which will suck your soul out of your body.

Because in the movie 'The Lion King' the king starts eating the food that he shouldn't.

But he learns to do certain things that other animals do. This is exactly why most people are conforming to other people's opinions and believing what others believe is right.

The lesson:

If you have a problem, don't run from it.

Find a way to solve it. Take responsibility.

Hakuna Matata! It's a problem-free philosophy.....

Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!

What the hell? You see that?

It's so addicting that's the reason, 95% of people are average.

Do you belong to a successful 5% category or a lion that lives with a 95% average category?

You decide...

Dear mother and dad:

Since I left for college I have been remiss in writing and I am sorry for my thoughtlessness in not having written before. I will bring you up to date now, but before you read down, please sit down. You’re not to read any further unless you’re sitting down, okay?

Well, then, I am getting along pretty well now. The skull fracture and the concussion I got when I jumped out of the window of my dormitory when it caught on fire shortly after my arrival here is pretty well healed now. I only spent two weeks in the hospital and now I can see almost normally and only get the Sick headaches once a day.

Fortunately, the fire in the dormitory, and my jump, was witnessed by an attendant at the gas station near the door, and he was the one who called the fire department and the ambulance.

He also visited me in the hospital and since I had nowhere to live because of the burnout dormitory, he was kind enough to invite me to share his apartment with him.

It’s really a basement room, but it’s kind of cute. He is a very fine boy and we have fallen deeply in love and are planning to get married. We haven’t gotten exact date yet, but it will be before my pregnancy begins to show.

Yes, mother and dad, I am pregnant. I know how much you are looking forward to being grandparents and I know you will welcome the baby and give it the same love and devotion and tender care you give me when I was a child.

The reason for the delay in our marriage is that my boyfriend has a minor infection which prevents us from passing our premarital blood tests and I carelessly got it from him.

Now that I have brought you up to date, I want to tell you that there was no dormitory fire, I did not have a concussion or skull fracture, I was not in a hospital, I am not pregnant, I am not engaged, I am not infected, and there is no boyfriend.

However, I am getting a “D” grade in American history, and an “F” grade in chemistry and I want you to see those marks in their proper perspective.

Your loving daughter,
Sharon.

Note: Sharon may be failing Chemistry but she gets an A in psychology.

Incredible 4 steps for effective communication skills

Joe sunny k 4 Steps for Effective Communication Skills Speaking in English for most people is a never come true dream. But that's a myth now. ...

It's been so long that we haven't seen your face...this is one of my favourite songs, thought it would be a situational song for I came back with a post ages after.

Anyhow, hope everything is fine with you in learning and developing your communication skills, isn't it? Alright this time, let me tell you something which is very important to improve your skills faster.

There are certain aspects (I rather call them enemies) which restrain you from learning English. Let's talk about one aspect which is a root cause for all.

Here is your enemy:

Laziness: this is a very dangerous trait that stops you from doing anything. When you see somebody who communicates well, you decide to speak only in english, and you stick to your promise for the next few days.

What happens next, when you come across a situation where you struggle to recollect a word and fumble and there you stuck in the middle of the conversation. Alright I am coming to the point. What does lazyness have to do with it?

That's a good question.

Here is the answer:

You struck and fumble in the middle of the conversation. Because you ran out of your words. You don't have enough words to carry out the conversation further. So what do we have to do?

As I mentioned it in one of my posts but in bits and pieces, read books rather than news papers and magazines. There is a reason to avoid reading news papers and magazines. If you read them, you will get bored soon. You will yawn and you feel like to put news papers away.

So I suggest you guys to read books. Find out the kind of books you like. Be it comedy, horor whatever. Choose your favourite genre.
While you read, you come across many unfamiliar words, write them in a note book, find out its meaning and start using those learnt words in your day to day life.

You have the desire, and you start doing this for few dsys. There it (laziness)comes as a water under a mat. It doesn't let you read further. It tells you that you are so tired, you have a lot of time, you can do this later. You will definitely listen to her(laziness).

If you listen to her (laziness), your chapter is closed. So friends, if you desire so much, nothing can stop you from learning to communicate effectively.

Kill your laziness which is a root cause to all your problems. If you get rid of it, you will become a man of what you desired for.

A bottom line:
Learning something is better than learning nothing; there are many ways to learn but learn it your way.

All the best.

Hi! readers It's been so long that I haven't been here. I'm glad to see you back again. I'd like to tell you something more important which I considered more helpful to improve your communication skills. Get rid off your fear and speak continuously, whether its correct English or incorrect English.
Um! yes, I've got you know. You may tell me that speaking English is not a problem. the problem is HOW TO GET RID OF THE FEAR? If you want to speak English, SPEAK it. We learn to speak by speaking it. That's only the solution. So, kill your fear and get started. No matter what others think about you while you speak. You know what, there are many ways to learn but learn it your way.

train yourself by reading stories and novels. whether it is right or wrong open up your mouth and speak English............ and write down your experiences you have been through..............if you do so eventually you can master English...........go on all the best.
LOL.

Every body wants and even long to communicate in English......but nobody dared to do so......that's pity. Live beyond fear....kill your fears first and start to speak whether it's correct or incorrect..eventually you will master the language.
Good Luck guys.......
