LAST WORD

Success is the result of right thinking. Think right, do right, and succeed. We need to learn the art of right thinking. A foolish person knows only his actions, while a wise man knows not only his actions but also their possible consequences. The British writer, William Ralph Inge (1860-1954), rightly remarked, ‘The wise man is he who knows the relative value of things.’ Everything depends on one’s way of thinking. Our minds become of a certain sort and begin to work in a certain way depending on the way we think. This being the case, if we change our way of thinking, sorrow can be transformed into happiness, despondency into trust, and helplessness into courage. The secret of reform is the transformation of human consciousness, by learning the art of thinking. Without this, no reform is at all possible. In this world, everything depends on thinking. Wrong thinking makes an easy thing difficult, while right thinking makes a difficult thing easy. This issue of difference in thinking applies to all matters, big or small. It applies to domestic affairs as well as to national and international affairs.
