EC Rightly Wrong

It has always been an interesting thing to note that in our society admitting a mistake is worse than committing a sin/crime; or how else would you explain that no leader of any political party/group/organisation ever says that at least one thing he/she could have done differently while being in the position of power. It's almost a miracle to see a man/woman in our society having the courage to admit mistakes, revealing weaknesses in his/her character and asking for a feedback. This over indulgence with always being Right has made us lead a stressful life. We are forced to wear a mask of  the "Always Right" personality in this "I am never wrong" world. This is a "stuck in a rut" situation for the person which stops evolution of any kind and also puts the man/woman in a situation of helplessness as he/she is afraid of making mistakes and blamed by others. So the first step can be accepting ourselves as we are and living a life where losing/quitting is a step in the right direction...towards change...towards progress...towards happiness...towards being wise than Mr/Miss Always Right.

EC Culture

In the name of culture, is it right to impose a patriarchal values on the modern, knowledge based 21st century society is a question which every citizen should ask at this point in time. In a macho world the defining values have always been speed, survival and succeeding to the next level at any cost. A lot of human values like compassion, kindness, forgiveness, benevolence, sharing etc. have been compromised in this mad race for getting "success". But it is a good sign that some of the human values like cleanliness, respect for all genders, non-violence, honesty, conversational temperament, empowering the weaker sections, respecting the old, education without punishment are being endorsed. Let us work towards a model of success where people are happy and free to discover their true "selves".
