Ikigai: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life

 





"Everything may be stolen from a man except for one thing: the last of human liberties—the ability to select one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

In this book, the term ikigai is translated as the joy of always being busy. Ikigai is a composite of your passion, mission, and vocation. This book addresses some fundamental questions of why some people continue to do what they've been doing for years, even if it's the same thing over and over again, such as performers, authors, bloggers, and painters. Why are certain people never bored or frustrated when they repeat the same actions repeatedly?

Now I'm aware that this book has been overhyped in the market and that many of us have unrealistic expectations for it. While I believe the book addresses the fundamental question that we frequently miss. Additionally, it has a ten-point shortened version of the ikigai rule:

1. Continue to be active; do not retire.

2. Go slowly.

3. Avoid over-eating.

4. Surround yourself with positive people.

5. Prepare for your upcoming birthday by becoming in shape.

6. Rejoice

7. Reestablish a connection with nature.

8. Extend gratitude.

9. Embrace the present moment.

10. Adhere to your ikigai.




By and large, this book is very inspirational. I was captivated by the book's simplicity and peaceful tone, and it held my interest until the finish. The book brings the Japanese Zen philosophy to life, inviting readers to investigate and discover.

75th Independence Day

Image
  Good morning, everyone. And a happy 75th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Today, our country remembers and honours its freedom fighters. I want to dedicate this Independence Day to all front-line workers (FLW), whose tremendous efforts helped save millions of lives during the pandemic. Especially scientists who developed covid vaccines at such a rapid pace. I want to pay tribute to the victims of the deadly virus. The agony of losing them will always haunt us. But we must also consider our country's challenges. High inflation and rising unemployment are causing problems in the challenging economy. But I'm proud of India's performance in the Tokyo Olympics. India's best performance this year in Tokyo has resulted in seven medals — one gold, two silver, and three bronze — an increase from the six it won in London in 2012. I recall celebrating Independence Day at school. I used to ride my bicycle to school. It was easy to ride a bicycle that day because we...
