The art of living.....

         People who are living in the world have their own behaviors and different feelings in their lives. Lots of people try to achieve their goals and they try to fulfill their requirements. But there are some people who are cheating to others. That kind of people think about only their lives. So we can see that there is an art of living. We can identify the art of living by developing relationships with people.
        In the last lecture of PPD session there was a valuable lecture which is conducted by Dr. Ajith Rohana  Colonne who is a top level person in Sri Lanka. The main idea of his lecture is living is kind of an art.

For what do we live ?
         Do you think think about that question before I asked. I think your answer will be "No". Since our childhood we are living for many purposes. It changed while we were growing. In the present my purpose of living is not the purpose in the past. It is changing in these days as I think. So people will give different answers for my above question.
        As I identify we should live for following purposes.

• For being happy
• For being success
• For enjoying the things happen

What are the things for living happily ?
         Basically we should follow below mentioned points.

• We should love to the nature
• We should develop the positive thinking
• We should continue a meaningful bond with the family and the society.
• We should be healthy

Law of the third
        Role a dice or put a coin. It don't depend on the previous one. We can show the law of the third by following equation.

                                                           y = 1990 x + 0.2402

Ability to appreciate the nature
        We should have a habit of loving to the nature. Then nature will react. Let's think about a tree.

       We can learn many things from a tree. Our lives are like trees. It will grow up little by little. Like some vines trying  to attack to the tree people are waiting to attack us. So we should be strong to face those challenges. The things that we can learn from a tree.

• Strength
• Patience

Ability to think philosophically

•  Level of thinking and pattern of living are not correlated
• Try to refrain discussing on other people
• Exchange the ideas about problems
• When something happen don't react . That point is very important. Look at following story.

Story of cockroach - There was a party and people had wore nicely. Suddenly a woman started to shout because there was a cockroach in her saree. She ran here and there. Then cockroach flew and landed on another one's wear. That person also started to shout. While people were shouting a waiter came with six cups of wine glasses. The the cockroach landed to his arm. He saw that scene and he didn't react. Simply he caught it and put it to the out of the window. 

      That is the story. So you can get a better idea about what I am trying to say. There are many stories like above one.

• Those who are happy aren't people who haven't problems. But those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.

Success

       Success is not following us. We should follow the success. Success doesn't depend on your name, school you attended, your parents or your lover. It should build by yourself. There is a big message for you. 

" Don't talk about your humble begging in public because some people can bit by them"

Positive thinking

        Positive thinking help you to be success in your life. Some people have become success due to their positive thinking. Bill Gates , Steve Jobs ' Dhammika Perera and Mark Zuckerberg are some examples.

         

          It we think about a cup that is filled a half of water we should look at it in a positive mind. That is we can think as "Oh.. there has a half of water. It is enough ". Likewise we should train to think positively.

Self confidence

         Another important point is self confidence. The best examples are follows.

• Bill Clinton - He was a former president in USA. When we look at her life he has come forward by using his self confidence. 

• Carl Lewis - He is one of the Olympic champion in the world. In his childhood one day his mother asked him "Son , how did you win all the sports running events in the sports meet ? ". His answer was " Mom when I am running I don't look at others. I run by looking forward".That is really good point to develop our lives.

Perseverance - The most important one that should improve in your lives is perseverance. Without the perseverance the can't satisfy about our life.When we fell down however we should stand up. It will increase your ability to face challenges.

Endurance - This is another attribute to be developed. We should always train to increase our endurance.

And also there have many attributes to improve in your lives. Above explained things are very important like following points.

• Strategic thinking
• Knowledge
• Spirituality and etc.

Finally I have to say that the art of living is like a kite which sent to the sky. We can manage and coordinate our living method in the society as we want.
