The Early Bird Catches The Worm

The Early Bird Catches The Worm

                                There are many idioms and proverbs that express a gospel truth in concise manner.that proverb was first encountered in John ray's A collection of English Proverbs 1670,1678:"the early bird catches the worm"

                                  A worm usually comes out of the ground  and a bird that begins search early gets the worm.clearly if a bird starts to search for food early it catches worm soon not repenting afterwards.Bird here refer to person and worm refers to the opportunity .to grab opportunity and to make effective use of it a person must start early as early possible . Simply put,this proverb signifies the importance of being punctual and disciplined to achieve success.

                                when we work hard at a later stage it may be of no use.if we start in proper time in a punctual and disciplined way,we will never be in trouble in the last possible moments and there are better chance of completing job.This is true in every sphere and every phase of life.

                                 Its truly said " dont count every hour in the day,make every hour in the day count ". Opportunities dont come for mere asking.We must try to do do our best and leave no stone unturned.  while the time is on our side , the advantage is ours and cards are in our hands.we must keep them close to our chest and play safe.Once thrown carelessly we may have to repented ever afterwards .We should remember the words of Samuel Smiles "lost wealth may be replaced by industry,lost knowledge by study ,lost health by temperance or medicine ,but lost time is gone forever".

                                    Therefore if one wants to to succeed in life one must dispel laziness,remove he 'take it easy attitude' and stop fruitless spending of time .One must learn time management in an efficient ,punctual and disciplined way.This is the first step to success.secondly work must never be postponed 'tomorrow may never materialise . we can only be sure of the present which is in our hands .postponement and laziness are the ropes which strangle time.

                                     It is the most basic truth of life that we should never allow our golden time to slip away from us .We should utilise time in a positive and fruitful way to go to achieve our goals.Time is called as the strongest thing in this world which can damage and improve anyone.Time is very powerful" one can kneel down in front of it but never defeat it.one must always remember the phrases" 

"THE SOONER ,THE BETTER"

                                           Time is free but it is priceless,

                                       You cant own it but you can use it,

                                    You cant keep it but you can spend it ,

                               Once you have lost it you can never get it back.

The Role Of Media In Our Society

The Role Of Media In Our Society 

                       Once of the earliest proverbs we learn at school is "The pen is mightier than the sword".This signifies ht importance and power of literature which has the ability to influence people more than any war or conquest.The written material is the source and fundamental part of media.with the advent of modern technology the media has diversified into many forms such as radio,TV,and internet. Together these play a very important role in shaping up the views and opinions of the world.

                         

                   There is a well known saying "with great power comes great responsibility".The media ought to play a constructive role in the society.As such its role is a paramount importance since its conduct has a bearing on each one's lives style.In modern times we have seen that media has the power to accomplish seemingly impossible task.The role of media can be compared to that of a river.when harnessed properly the river is the lifetime of many people.But when in spate the same river can become disastrous .similarly when left uncontrolled the media can wreak havoc in the society.Hence there is a need for constant introspection within the fourth estate to ensure that it does not overstep its limit.

  

                      The politics of our country and the peoples perceptions regarding the same has been increasingly influenced by the media .Mr Modi cruised to a historic victory in the General Election of 2014 having employed the media to project himself as the harbinger of changes from the policy paralysis of the UPA-2 .In particular he made tremendous use of social media to influence the country's youth.

                      The internet has become one of the most powerful tools of the media.Social networking sites such as Facebook,LinkedIn and Twitter connect people all over the world ,reducing the barriers between the continents to just a click away.they have provide important platform for raising relevant issues facing the society.they also help in establishing a greater level of interaction between peoples of different cultures and tradition and religion ,thus helping us understand each other better.We also have blogs written by many eminent personalities ,in which they voice their comments and opinions on various issues. The all pervasive Internet has made virtually everything online cookery ,shows,counselling and yoga session watching movies etc.

                       Anything in excess is not good and the same principle applies to the media.Sometimes the media tends to go overboard in zest.This can lead to incorrect reporting facts and does more harm than good.Social media has come under fire from some quarters of the society for encouraging people to divulge personal and /or irrelevant details which is neither safe nor a productive use of their time .Excessive and sensational reporting has often led to disruption of law and order.

                     

                       An impartial and vibrant media is an essential part of a developed and peaceful country .It is vital that the media performs its intended duty of serving the people in the right way. Only then will we see the establishment of a progressive and liberal world/country/society.
