Tighten your palms into fists. Tighter! Tighter!
Keep at it for at least 15 seconds. Your nails (if any) should dig in to your palms! A little tighter, come on!
Now open your palms. Do they feel like crumpled notes? Do they feel numb? No blood flow? Now stretch them twice and relax.
This is what exactly happens to our body, muscles and tendons when we get up in the morning. Our body has been at rest for some 7 to 8 hours and blood flow to the extremities is low. Muscles are at rest and they just don’t want to wake up!
Still, what do we do every morning? We get up, jump straight out of the bed and get into the washroom! We are in a rush to get up and get going for our early morning chores!

How hunger and thirst run our lives
कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
