WHEN I HAVE FEARS

 When I have fears that I may cease to be

Before my pen has glean’d my teaming brain

Before high piled books, in charactery

Hold like rich garners the full ripen’d grain

When I behold , upon the night’s starr’d face

Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance

And think that may never live to trace

Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance

And when I feel, fair creature of an hour

That I shall never look upon thee more.

Never have relish in the faery power

Of unreflecting love , then on the shore

Of the wide world I stand alone and think

Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

Successful people who have clarity can a...

WHEN MONEY SPEAKS THE TRUTH IS SILENCED

These two words which are used interchangeably on similar occasions have a clear distinction between them , where ‘everything’ the word in itself is a definite proposition, ‘anything’ is a more open ended concept. The above statements make it clear for us to believe that money can buy us everything but not anything, hence it cannot be regarded as a solitary factor behind a successful life. Because if that had been the case , the list of Nobel prize winners would have been occupied by billionaires and not by people who devoted the whole of their lives to bring a change in this society. But these people are a few to be found in millions and are extremely rare. Moving closer to reality, we will find that the number of people devoting their lives for others keeps decreasing whereas they are being replaced rapidly by personal...
