Ravi Somani Coins Collection, Paper Money Collection, Stamp, Autograph Collection

It is time to change our belief, to get practical since our childhood. Western world train their children since beginning in order to develop their interest in different fields so that the challenges of the material world does not mar their overall development. They follow the play way method in which the casual approach via games/contests/counselling are used to give the child a chance to explore their field of interest. The result is they come out confident completing their schooling ready to act next for accomplishing their dreams. The boldness and that confidence is due to the training instilled in them since beginning of their education. They reveal themselves like the shining stars out in the field ready to face any challenge, come what may.
The Indian folks though have turned ultra modern, need to westernize their education system as well. A big reformation is the need of the hour considering the scarce future of the Indian children. Scarce is used keeping in view the backward or the old standard of education system where the practical knowledge is yet to get advance. An engineer/medical or may be some other student after years of hard work to get into the engineering /medical or some other college, come out looking forward for a handsome salary package when suddenly he is shocked as he stands deserted, until and unless he gets a job experience.
And the irony of all the hard work all through these years is that at the end of the day he stands nowhere. He has to begin his voyage once again after the tough journey he has just completed which fruits into none.

Many times we are faced with such difficult situations in life where we are stressed , full of anxiety and have fear of unknown. Mostly we turn to almighty to help us get over the situation and bring us out of the difficult situation.
We must remember that God help those who help themselves so we should first assess the situation with cool mind and understand the worst outcome of that situation. Working on the idea of what next, what next once we reach to that Worst outcome then we should evaluate what will be our condition at that siatuation and is that really something we should be afraid of. Most of the time we would find that our fears atre mainly bacause we have not considered the wosrt outcome and infact the worst outcome may not be as Bad as we are fearing.
So it is quite important that we do not loose our cool in difficult situation as it will create Fear in our mind which are uncalled for. We must always keep faith in God and that the Saviour is always with us and he will do what is Best for us.
So if we have Positive attitude we will overcome the difficult situation with Grace of God otherwise we will be always under stress for fear of the unknown.
