Opportunities come but do not linger

It's real and reality if we judge this proverb from the various perspectives. The Nepali Congress got many opportunities for the sake of Nepal and Nepalese but could not address the Nepalese demand. But now it is lamenting like a child who is asking for lalipop. So did other political parties like the UML and the Maoists? Even the Maoists and the UML and collapsed and emerged into the new political party as Nepal Communist Party. If this party stops working for the subalterns, increases tax, it won't long last forever. Before increasing the tax, the government should pay attention to increase the per ca-pita income of its citizens and the collected tax should not be used for buying expensive vehicle for the mayor or other politically elected representatives as well as high level officer. If not it may be the cause of downfall. Before being too late the present government should realize that opportunities come but don't linger.

It's not relevant only in politics but also in other sectors too. Spending the long hours and years may not mean that how long you are working and will be meaningful for the general public. According to science, it may be only the work if it moves or shows the changes. Let it change to make it meaningful. It is the mind that wins or loses. Whether you are in power or not but if your vision is for the sake of organization, nation or for the human beings, the concerned one is compelled to implement it. If the big brother ignores your voice, the next one approaches and makes your voice listen. Thus you can win.

The worst thing that human beings don't realize that 'too much sugar is bitter.' But remains busy at counseling others but never follows him. Most of the humans' beings seem busy at counseling but never apply themselves. If anyone always blames to other but he does nothing for the sake of others how they can remember him. Once Marilyn Monroe said, “Dogs never bite me. Just humans." We generally think dogs bite us but in reality a human bites to other many times. Once Mahatama Gandhi left a woman in bad tempered not telling her son not to eat too much jaggery. After a week Mahatmaa Gandhi advised him not to eat jaggery. The woman asked him why he had not told him earlier. Later he told her that he also used to have too much jaggery. If he didn't stop eating jaggery how he could stop eating jaggery. Advising without any sense is worthless. He therefore, tried and stopped eating jaggery. It became possible for him. Only then he advised him not to eat jaggery. It shows that only perfect practice makes everyone perfect as Shiva Khera said.

In the same way for the betterment of the school, no one listens to the headteachers and others pleading if they send their kids to the private schools and hope children from other. To come out from this illusion, they have to show their worth. They have to know where they are whether in the depth or in the shallow of the water. To make your worth worthy, you should change first then plead to others.
