rambabu answered the question Why is it that when I am searching for a small thing such as a pin, I am unable to locate it even if it right there in front of me?.
Lack of concentration and thinking about some thing a bad happening that has left deep mark on your heart.

All this can be done in a tiny country like Switzerland. Its population is not even 30% of Mumbai. people are talking of following the example of this nation. There is no comparison it is more like a city-state( Athens and Sparta).Again its prosperity is due to trillions of dollars being parked in their banks as per state policy. These are secret accounts. Does India want to follow this? If we follow , I am sure we will be richer than Switzerland. The cold and snow are terrible. India's Gulmarg where I have been half a dozen time is much better.

Switzerland is definitely a little piece of heaven on earth and it cannot get better than that . But weather except during the shoot summer can be a dampener to those who have glorious sunshine all through the year , other than that , they really look after their citizens well!
Weather can be tolerated if a person can find peace of mind, beautiful nature and the respect a human being is due from others. I think your daughter has settled in Switzerland, isn't it?
Yes Kalyani my older daughter lives in Switzerland, in a small village close to Bern. The unique feature that the Swiss have in their governance is that for any law to be passed whether it is internal or an issue of immigrants or the one that I have quoted here in this discussion, all citizens have to cast their votes and only when there is 90% or more consensus , the law gets passed or else it gets shelved for the moment at least ..This has made all of them very aware of their rights as citizens .

If you want an answer to that you need to go through the previous posts which is the norm in any discussion site, not just make posts for the sake of doing so..
thanks for your suggestion
See you are doing it again, exactly what everyone is complaining about. Now do not reply to this post but make sure you read the topic first and others' opinions before making meaningless comments.
LOL, I guess now it will be free for all until hopefully Admin steps in and does something !

Satisfaction = happiness but we want to taste and feel true success then we should be satisfied.
So in effect success = Satisfaction = happiness or is it the other way round ..

Success in my opinion is not quitting, even after a series of failures. Happiness is the success that comes after repeated failures.

I guess success is not about making money or gaining power or perfection but also about survivial !
These are really nice quotes and very meaningful as well. I always believe success comes after failure. If I want to be successful I must see failures in my life.
Of course success becomes much more meaningful when it comes after failure... We have so many such example around us , celebrities and Industrialists even common people who taste success after failure and years of hard work. At the same time success comes with its own complications ..
