To make it a better world for you and me, and for our future generations, we need every one in the world to think the whole world as one family. To show love and respect to every one else. Not to have any bitterness against anybody. To be willing to help any other in need.
All these things require that the other person, as well as me, has to behave in a certain way. I have no control over how the other person behaves. So I am reduced to only changing my ways, and hoping that in doing so, I will at, least make it a better world for me.
It is likely that in these ideas to improve myself, you may find some tips to allow you to develop to your full potential, and thus to make it a better world for you.

I'll begin with a joke about the lady of the house. She was fed up with the laziness and the sloppiness of her maid servant. So she warned her, "I will soon have to find a new maid."
And the maid says, "That is a good idea, Madam. I could do with an extra pair of hands around the house."
The Skill of Enjoying Every Day
The skill is being able to be aware of all your thoughts and actions. To be mindful at all times of what you are doing.
One advantage of you being fully aware of your action is that you will enjoy that awareness. Imagine I hate wall papering my room. But were I to do so, remaining totally aware of my actions as I did so, I will enjoy the awareness behind the action, and so, in a fashion, enjoy doing my work as well.
Another advantage of being totally mindful of all your actions at all times is the immense saving of time and frustration because otherwise you are always having to look for lost keys, wallet, papers, doors left unlocked, and so on.
This is a skill like, say, like riding a bicycle. It is not difficult. It has to be learnt by repeatedly practicing it. Once learnt, it will stay with you for ever.
You will save time by not having to look for lost things, and enjoy every day because you will put your very being into all you do.
Thank you for reading this entry. I wish you every happiness. Shree-1
