THE LIFE IS LIKE A CLOCK!The life is like clock .Everyone knows that it will stop one day but no one can predictwhen.

Every clock has three hands. The hour hand, minute hand, second hand. AsAristotle said human being also is a combination of Mind, Body, and Spirit. The mindis like the second hand moving at the fastest rate among three hands. No hand can

move independently, they have a interlinking between them .Similarly in order toaccomplish something we have to completely devote our mind, body and spirit tothat work .Lack of involvement of an one of these will lead to fiasco.

If you observe there are some clocks in which the numbers are explicitlywritten, at a glance we can get the time. In some clocks there are no numbers, theyare represented with some symbols or for example diamonds. In some clocks there iscombination of these two things, you will find only 12,3,6,9 explicitly written on thedial. This represents three major personality characteristic of human beings. Somepeople are extrovert .They is candid, outspoken. Their inner & outer personalities aresame. They are nave and very friendly. [First kind of watch]. Then there areintroverts. They have their own world .Its hard to figure out something about them.Only few things can be clearly seen. Finally there are ambivert personalities,combination of introvert and extrovert. Some things can be seen, some are implicit.

Whatever kind clock you have, it shows right time. Its a matter of yourchoice. Similarly each type is unique with some advantages and disadvantages. Youare not inferior to anyone.

There are some digital clocks and some are simple clocks. But both have theirown identity, uniqueness .Similarly no two human beings are similar. No one can playyour role better than you. Everyone is unique.

Then there are time zones. The clock in different time zones shows differentzones. Similarly when human beings are subjected to different situations, challengingsituation they get best out of themselves. They come with miraculous result. Eventswill happen. There may be failures in your way it is important hoe you react to thesituation. Your attitude towards the life plays an important role in this case. Successis simply an ability to bounce back till you get what you want. Remember winning isyour unprecedented right!

There are some rules clock should follow. It should move in one direction only,it cannot move back. Similarly human beings can not do anything in past, he alsocannot move back, he has to move on and on. He has to move on with resilientattitude to face the upcoming challenges. He must remember that the life is processof creation. He is creating his own future every minute.

Now, the most important thing. Even the stopped watch clock shows righttime twice a day. It can be useful for two moments in a day. In the same mannereach & every human being has at least one unique quality. The crux of the problemlies in identifying that quality, that thing which you can do best, realizing thatpotential and then committing to it, trying to get most out of that.

Let me elucidate this point. Albert Einstein, arguably one of the greatestscientists of all time had flunked many a school exams. The great Edison wasexpelled from the school, thanks to his mother who realized his potential to produceone of the greatest innovators of all time. How can I forget Abraham Lincoln and

Napoleon Bonaparte? What is common in all these regal personalities? They allbelieved that they can make a difference. They devoted their whole life to themission, they were passionate about it. Its all about finding those two rightmoments.

Sometimes the clock stops as the battery expires, i.e. it loses the driving forcebehind that .We also sometimes lose our motivating force, our desire to win becauseof temporary failures and defeats. In these situation we also have to replace ourbatteries i.e. invigorate ourselves by changing or replacing our negative thoughts by

positive ones. Never make an issue of your weaknesses, its all about changing yourthoughts. Reading an inspirational book can resurrect you.

The hands of the clock keep on revolving around the centre again and again;they feel that they are moving, it is there power. As a matter of fact the potentialenergy stored in the spring is moving the hands. Same way human beings feel thatthey are doing all the things but no one realises that it is only the process of

happening.Can you become hungry? Can you control your breathing? Can we convertfood into blood and then pass it all over the body as per the exact requirement?Everything is just going on, no one is doing anything, and in fact no one can doanything. We can just become aware of it. This is manifestation of energy itself. Idont know what it is, call it anything you like but it is the same.

Everything is just happening but the ego of men and a kind of mirage keepshim away from the ultimate truth.

When the case or body of the clock becomes obsolete, we replace it with thenew one. The machine, the mechanism, the mode of operation remains the same,only outer appearance changes. This energy, you may call it as soul also changes thebody. What is present today was present yesterday and it will be present tomorrowalso, in one form or another, what is changing is the faade of manifestation.

Finally, why do we have a clock? To know the timing. [In fact no one knowsabout this fourth dimension .Einstein reached closest to solve this quandary. Still noone knows about it].

This simple clock gives us one of the most important lessons in our life.Respect the time. Utilize every moment of it, enjoy every bit of it. Its moving,changing every moment. We have not come on this earth for vacation. We are hereon a serious mission .We are gifted with human life .This itself is a proof of this. Thepithy lies finding out that mission and then accomplishing it against all odds.

Really, life is just like a clock. Everyone knows that it will stop one day but noone can predict when!
