Lesson of my life

I am telling about one of my bad experiences which I have faced in my life. Nearly around three-four years back, I had a love affair with my girlfriend. Her name is Suchita. Both we were working in the same office.

In earlier days we used to share our feelings, life experiences and day-to-day happenings. Always we work together. Months went past, our friendship turned to love and we fell in love with each other. I even decided to marry her.

Her father was already in search of a groom, who measures up to his expectations. My bad luck, her parents were against my wishes and she got marry with another person. I was upset. I have lost my interest in life. Love disappointment affected my life severely. At one stage, I was intent on destroying myself.

One day I met one of my good friends and narrated my whole story. I poured my heart out in front of him. He suggested to read one book titled ‘Learn to live’ Written by Swamy Jagadatmananda.

That helps a lot for me. While reading I got will-power. I immersed myself in reading good books. Listened music, used to visit temples whenever I felt to need peace of mind. I concentrated in work which later helps to get success in my carrier.

I learned a lesson from this incident that the most important step to resolve any kind of problem is to accept and acknowledge its existence.

A butterfly flapping its wings in China could cause a cyclone in California

The classic version ‘A butterfly flapping its wings in China could cause a cyclone in California’, describes the fact that how a small, seeming unrelated happenings can have major effects on results in a chaotic system. For example if we take stock market movement, a small incidence in China can influence negatively in the stock market of California or elsewhere.

Stock markets are truly chaotic, and, fundamental stock analysis is necessary to understand the forces driving stock-price movements. Any action anywhere in the world can influence phenomena elsewhere as the butterfly that alters its usual pattern of pollen collection can create a different enough wind flow as to ultimately. In September 11, 2001, terrorists were attacked on world trade center in USA, the whole world was stunned. Stock market stumbled all over the world. It was not limited to USA. In the same way, recent economic slowdown which starts from USA gradually affects the other country’s economy.
