How much do your contribute to society?
Kishore Shintre
#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
As we all know, society is simply a collection of diverse people from totally different family backgrounds. Therefore, in order to have a stable and peaceful society we should focus on improving its building blocks, which is families. I'm gonna quote a piece of advice from Mother Teresa that may sound too simple and shallow yet it's deep enough for the thoughtful mind. "Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat".
Do not blame society for everything. Remember you are one of the constricting element so do your part well. o no waste food, help others before it gets rotten. Use resources for all kinds of energy wisely. Motivate good things,help people around.do not discuss people just because you don't have anything to do. Pause TV soaps for a while and check what your kids are doing in their exclusive room,they are future citizen of the country. Keep country clean not only our home. Just mind your own business and do not interfere in others life. Lets start practicing this. Rest of the things will be taken care of.
Make yourself aware that thinking like this is a good first step. Make yourself wiser by knowing that you may not always think like this, you are 14, life gets more focused as you grow up so less time is allocated to worldly thinking. Hear people out for advice, genuinely consider their points, make a decision only after listening to your heart. Accept that there is no true imperative to save the world. For it is not actually dying. But it would nonetheless be the most humble thing you could do as an individual
Accept your age and the illusion of age. At 14, it feels like you are finally alive. I did too, now I'm 19 and I keep climbing the ladder of consciousness. You are actually, factually limited in experience. Obtain a lot more before wanting to cease suffering. Think about what courses you want to take in college and what degree you want to end up with. Because you will have to email people and ask them to hire you so you can buy food, you need to be impressive and skilled. Choose according to what you are very good at and enjoy doing.
Adopt a growth mindset. Never stop learning. Find a way to realize how amazing education is. Once the sky was just a black canvas with white dots. You stared at it for ten minutes. Then you went to school and saw a photograph of a star. Learnt about it's sheer size. Then you looked up again in the night, and now you stared for fifteen minutes with a jaw dropped. Understand that your thoughts at the moment are slightly superficial because at this age, hormones are abound in the body. They drive mood greatly. Wait till you are at least 20 to make a firm decision about how you want to serve the world

Watch a lot of TED talks. Read a lot of great books. Use your free time and ask Wikipedia everything you want so that you never look at the world the same way but begin to see the magic of the atoms. Be fearless - no matter what someone tells you of their opinion on your abilities. Steve Jobs always drove Apple to think different. Ask many good questions, answer some to whatever capacity you can. In the process, learn to get a point across with minimal language
Very fundamentally understand the terms: Ego, Pride, Jealousy, Attachment, Suffering and Delusion. You are a human being, you will face these enemies. Better defeat them as early in life as possible. Dream vividly of your death-bed moment. On the last day of your life, when you are sitting inside a hospital with a nice view. Being in an old shriveled body, plugged into machines that breathe for you. How would you have wished you spent each minute? Live a story. Be that guy who did something amazing. End up in textbooks of the future. Plan accordingly
Have original ideas that are more than just a sentence. A full blueprint of how to get from A to B and then to C and back to A without ever using Z. Be the best damn thing you can. Everything material around you was thought of by a brain - an organ of the body. You own one, unlock it's secret thinking powers and use them. Be okay with failure in any moment of life. Nothing has taught humanity more than the lessons from failing. Learn how to be thankful for each new day you wake up, it could always have been worse but thankfully it wasn't. Some people wake up inside a black bag with stabs in their stomach because a few douchebags wanted to kidnap an innocent, thankfully you didn't wake up like that
You could contribute to the cleanliness of the city or protection of nature by participating in volunteer driven programmes (there are a dime-and-dozen of these!). Knowledge is indeed power. You could teach people who cannot afford an education on various topics. In this process, both they and you become proficient in whatever you're teaching so it's a win-win! Charity. We spend knowingly/unknowingly on some things we really do not have a need for and waste a lot of money/ food.
Donation of money and food is really something worthwhile and gives you a sense of satisfaction. Try to support people who are oppressed and discriminated. Be it kids who go through bullies, be it women who go through harassment from their spouses or in-laws, or eve teased, be it poor people looked down upon by the so called "higher class". Stand up and speak out. Even a small effort of support is highly appreciated by people who are good at heart. Cheers!
